if only we'd listened

I feel like anyone who hasn't experienced the frustration of participating in a clusterfuck via smartphone has not really 'experienced' this era of ilx

the next era will be defined by arguing while using google glasses

Look on the bright side, at least you havent been tagged with the "fucking prostitutes" thing for five years. So you have that going for you.

ahahahahaha

When I can wirelessly connect to ILX clusterfucks directly with my brain, I'll know that the singularity has arrived.

the interplay of our brains makes the clusterfuck emerge and become visible, but truthfully, the entirety of the clusterfuck is immanent inside the smallest neuron of your brain

it's clusterfucks alllll the way down.

clusterfuck studies

inside each clusterfuck is a smaller clusterfuck, clusterfucks proceedingly infinitely in nested shells. the circumference of the biggest clusterfuck is infinity and the center of the clusterfuck is everywhere

Crisis On Infinite Clusterfucks

hahahahahahaha

you should cafepress ilx and call it that

just a bit of a crisis, let's be cool

Be the clusterfuck you want to see in the world

You know how decades end not on Jan. 1 of the first year but when events mark a transition--e.g., Clinton election, Nirvana et al as the beginning of the 1990s, not whatever happened on Jan. 1, 1990?

Somehow, this feels like the end of the 2000s. The Dark Knight (and maybe the other two--I haven't seen them) was all about releasing tension from the collective waiting-for-the-other-shoe-to-drop post-9/11 anxiety. Somehow the shift back from the simulacrum to real tragedy marks the end of the effectiveness of this particular post-9/11/massacre/helplessness as entertainment. Not saying we won't have more big-terrorism thrillers or nihilistic villains, but in the way that the hitman movies of the 90s now feel dated instead of feeding into the present current of our dreamlife, something about what's happened hear may end the particular current this trilogy fed into.

that's a good post

lol

i dunno i thought it was :/

punditry is hard

this is like a concept coming from historiography & hobsbawn etc but then we go from 'the long nineteenth century' bookended by the revolution and 1914 to the 'long 2000s' bookended by the benevolent happenstance that some wasteman chose to shoot up a cinema rather than a chicken feed store

I think that was an attempt at a decade bookend, not a century one

well ultimately who gives a fuck i dunno i liked reading it

the bookending of an epoch is a conceptual thing, and because of that, it can exist in many different forms. it seems unlikely that this single act of random violence will be flagged by the arbiters of history as the "real end" of the decade that began on 9/11, but depending on how the next decade goes, it might come to seem as reasonable a demarcation point as any. at the moment, of course, it seems premature to stake much but sorrow on it.

nakh demands to be read out loud, pausing for a sip of tea every eight syllables

who are the arbiters of ilx?

arbiters vs orbiters: fite

<3 nakchivan, very readable imo, though i'm about 50/50 on the references

i think we can safely blame eazy's post, and many others like it throughout ilx's history (i am certainly not absolving myself) on the existence of media studies departments.

nakh is p great imo

That Illuminati pyramid only has two sides visible! Gasp! What is hidden on the other two?

yeah, i endorse all things nakhchivan, but i'm not in the mood to cap on anyone today, so i'm okay with eazy's post, too. hakuna matata.

i had one typed up for you involving keith olbermann, god and paint fumes but i deleted it, hakuna matata

I'm working a threadcop shift tonight and wanna remind everybody that using "aspie" like this is an asshole move, don't do it, thanks

board needs to put that one to bed

if you're reminding me, i wasn't trying to put anybody down, but i know that it's like saying gay or retarded, apologies and thanks
