- Pitchfork on the band 100 gecs: “Theirs is the sound of a zillion infostreams from the depths of your social feeds shooting into your eyes at once, both poisoned by irony and aware that if you follow irony into its own ouroboros, you will discover the antidote.” I’m in!
- Reading fiction can make you a better person: “Research suggests that fictional books may effectively be empathy-building tools, offering us the closest we can get to first-hand knowledge of someone else’s experience.”
- Meta Rediscovers the Cubicle: “To be fair, the company takes pains to argue that their solution is not cubicles, because, well, the walls are curved, and they are made out of fancier, sound-absorbing materials. Sure. Okay…” Solving a problem they made. The ultimate fireman/arsonist.
- Everything else!
