Anil Dash’s response to Malcolm Gladwell’s thorough takedown of social media as a revolution-facilitating infrastructure begins with a great point:
There are revolutions, actual political and legal revolutions, that are being led online. They’re just happening in new ways, and taking…

Buddy Wakefield opening up at the New Daisy
Stroking it
She: [on the phone w/ college friend] "So, how's [Aimee] doing?"
Me: [interjecting myself into the conversation - thinking I'm about to strike comedic gold] "Is she still blowing dudes for money!?"
She: [w/a mortified look of surprised disgust & bewilderment - she puts her hand over the mouthpiece] "She's had a stroke!" [now looking at me w/ irritated pity - as if I'm an excited 3 month old puppy pissing all over the floor again - she continues her conversation,] "Oh nothing - he's retarded and just can't help himself ..."

unsolicitedanalysis:
Go ahead and sell bonds, China. That’s what Bernanke wants. Anything to weaken the dollar, anything to juice exports. If you want real revenge? Keep buying that debt, keep propping up the greenback. We’ll strangle on widescreen television while you drown in losses, and the world will be destroyed in a silicon war.

My dad’s a defense contractor. Yeah, the defense contractor has a banker son. I’m looking forward to going against the wall with him.
Anyhow, he spends a lot of time in Afghanistan. I asked him once why he still goes, something that makes my mother crazy with worry - he’s got plenty of work in America, the UAE, other areas - and he tells me “They need our help.” I’ll...

It’s kinda funny how lots of us, when we’re younger, do everything we can to make who we are invisible. We do anything to make out differences disappear, but now that I’ve gotten older, I appreciate how I’m not like you, or you like me:

Can anyone using IM at work explain why ppl will IM me w/ just “Hey” & nothing else until I respond? Why not, “Hey, had a question about X”?
This is just as bad as someone leaving me a voice mail saying, “Call me, I need to talk to you.” Useless waste of air, time & telephony resources. It bugs the fuck out of me because it is so mindless and...
