The Chris Heath review is semi-literate gibberish which wouldn't entice an arthritic gnu to read the book, but Tom's review is very good indeed and closest to how I feel about the book and its author.

"wouldn't entice an arthritic gnu"? man, you're like a morrissey who failed in life: even more bitter, even more of a cunt. and lol you've got a cheek to talk about semi-literate gibberish when there must be millions of words of unreadable rubbish spread across your shitty blogs.

Tumblr whites have been saying "the law of diminishing returns" like crazy in the last few months because it was on a <i>Community</i> episode

I sure wish you never invented, and constantly employed, that stupid phrase "Tumblr whites."

privileged white people are the only people to do a lot of things (listen to vampire weekend for example ;-)), seems weird to pick out tumblr

Anyway if you were being serious here flopson, there's plenty of POC on tumblr as well
Take it from one who uses it
Again, unlike ILM...
Haha, just kidding. Plenty of POC on ILM too
Lots who choose just not to make it a thing
I didn't either at first

Oh, yeah. Tumblr is definitely not for olds. Lol olds. Why do they even exist.

ya its more like myspace or something. most of them aren't aware of it and if they did become aware of it they would be like "oh okay" and not think about it again

tumblr is funny though, its simultaneously about curating your own special snowflake and about re-posting everything everyone else posts
i think that's maybe what whiney was aiming for by invoking "tumblr whites"

As snowflakes tumble through the air, swirling and spiraling, they each take a different path to the ground. Each snowflake falls and floats through clouds with different temperatures and moisture levels, which shapes each snowflake in a unique way.
