you pride yourself on living in the mouth of the dragon but being fireproof, and then one day you realize it is saturday and you are in whole foods buying ingredients for a cool mac n cheese with a twist recipe you found online, wearing new balance sneakers

i mean tbh i would rather live in boston than dc, at least some people there have accents
where would ilx end up siding on a boston vs dc poll?
― iatee, Tuesday, 4 January 2011 02:17 (thirteen years ago) link
it would turn into an argument about pizza

whole foods, new balance sneakers, check. i don't really care about recipes
boston sucks, accents there are horrible. i hate boston
― daria-g, Tuesday, 4 January 2011 02:17 (thirteen years ago) link
in that case the poll would require a 'neither' option xp

i am in boston with an accent. thx daria.

part of the thing about the dc blogger culture is.. i wonder where they go from there, a couple years down the road? they've all been doing this for a while. doesn't the format become sort of limiting? there are a lot of progressive bloggers who i don't check in on too much b/c they don't say anything too surprising. rather spend time reading ta-nehisi coates which is one of my fave things on the internets
― daria-g, Tuesday, 4 January 2011 02:27 (thirteen years ago) link
how is the format more limiting than regular journalism? seems less
― iatee, Tuesday, 4 January 2011 02:28 (thirteen years ago) link
gotta constantly crank out posts, content content content all the time, on twitters all the time. i have never had a blog but just my experience of being really into blogworld as a reader for a couple years, it's like.. the relevance of things gets weirdly distorted so that you might think some trivial issue is a big f***ing deal just because everyone's talking about it & the politico thinks talking about it will help them Win The Day

other than ahem supporting the iraq invasion i really don't see this. he says 'markets' every now and again, is that it? i guess he's been pretty quiet about any doubts about the afghanistan strategy, a little suspect i guess.
(newly famous?) blogger 'ioz' absolutely loathes him, which is kinda entertaining, kinda o_O

shd do a 'most annoying blogger' poll--i feel like there is some kind of bullshit wired article someone could write about 'blogger fatigue,' where when youre reading 10-12 things by these people a day they start to realllly annoy you cause its like youre hanging out with them all the time only youre not allowed to talk

Definitely feel this nausea after reading digby and Greenwald back to back.

he is an entertaining libertarianish gay dude who hates everyone and everything, and writes well i think.
kind of from the "define all problems as being way more deep seated and hopeless than you imagine, so 'doing something' is always stupid" school.

ioz is a good counterweight to the "lets think this 1 thru" school of technocratic liberal market-based solutions yglesias stuff that dominates the blogosphere... and wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more hilarious than glenn greenwald
