Mordy, Friday, 29 June 2018 16:35 (seven years ago)

time is also apparently a broken clock

flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Friday, 29 June 2018 16:40 (seven years ago)

flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Friday, 29 June 2018 16:41 (seven years ago)

knowledge is a lot like dick-swinging

After being cited twice in the first ten posts to this thread, I can't see it bumped without a certain trepidation.

it's from a Merican on my twitter who I quite like. It's bad but at least it isn't Canary.

"post-apocalyptical"? jesus christ, i try not to be a prescriptivist but that's fucking horrible

dub pilates (rushomancy), Friday, 19 October 2018 23:45 (seven years ago)

agree ugh

i don't think that bookstore even had a post-apocalyptic fiction section in the first place

shwarmaduke (symsymsym), Saturday, 20 October 2018 02:22 (seven years ago)

playing devil's advocate now, "post-apocolyptic" does seem to want to modify fiction [as its own section] rather than lend itself to the phrase "post-apocalyptic fiction"

i'm choosing not to believe that establishment is a bookstore at all until presented with further corroborating evidence

For a significant amount of time (before online dating) I had a job where I edited and laid out newspaper personals ads. It was fascinating but also a little heartbreaking.

The way people feel they have to pick a few signifiers, cultural dogwhistles, or whatever. It provides a fast sort, I understand the impulse. If you believe you need to date a juggalo or a knitter or a MAGAnaut, then you pretty much do.

But it seems like with all our algorithms and swiping and such, we haven't come very far from liking pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.

why date Ryan Adams in the first place? (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 28 January 2019 19:35 (seven years ago)

too self-celebratory

Mordy, Monday, 28 January 2019 19:41 (seven years ago)

Needs more labels.

jmm, Monday, 28 January 2019 19:42 (seven years ago)

Not to mention simple answers can be right and complex answers can be wrong (Occam's razor and all that).

it's a bit of a contraction to assert that the truth is complex and then express it in simple drawing. it is what it's critiquing.

ryan, Monday, 28 January 2019 19:46 (seven years ago)

Truth is simple but it's too complex to be understood by the simplistic human mind. #trenchant #dousee

The Onion did a much better riff on the "typical political cartoon" joke iirc.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Monday, 28 January 2019 20:39 (seven years ago)

Not Stan Kelly, an article about a political cartoon. Ungoogleable now bc of stan kelly.
