i won't ask anymore questions

Momus currently posts a 10-point comment after every song on the bowiesongs blog.

I wasn't really sure what "Gawker" is, so I read that whole thread, and it was kinda depressing. These days I come to ILX mostly to discuss old hippie techno and comics, so I tend to forget there's this whole other world here where everyone is a journalist and half the people read or write to sites where media people gossip about other media people.

By definition, everyone on ILX reads at least one of those sites.

Well yeah, but I like I said, it's easy to forget that when you only read your niche threads.

I feel you tuomas, 100% of my knowledge of Gawker comes from that thread, it's certainly not a site I would have ever bothered to be aware of otherwise

i can't even tell who's kidding anymore

is this the new "i dont even own a tv"

I had no idea what Gawker was either, though I'm sure I'd saw it mentioned before, probably on ILX, I do own a TV however

I am not kidding fwiw

lol

wait I guess I heard about Gawker first on the Rob Ford thread, so that's not entirely true. Still my awareness of their schtick is 100% ILX-based. I mean, why would I bother to read that shit, I have better things to do.

for the record let me state here and may it be known forever that i only know about pitchfork media from the pitchfork is dumb part #345345346543543543534543654765 thread, why would i bother to read that shit otherwise?

jk i read pitchfork everyday

Οὖτις, there are some ilxors who would lol at you if you said you do more reading in books than on the internet. to them this is equivalent to living your in a cave and crapping on the ground.

American ILXors maybe. There are others, not that many anymore but still...

i lol'd cause he had been strenuously arguing about a website he claims never to have read for the past week

i read books

lol waht I made no strenuous arguments about gawker I barely posted on that thread

Οὖτις, there are some ilxors who would lol at you if you said you do more reading in books than on the internet. to them this is equivalent to living your in a cave and crapping on the ground.

first sentence is correct, second isn't.

or rather, first sentence is correct if you mean people would lol if you posted on ilx that you did more reading in books than on the internet. private conversation less likely.

glad somebody's finally standing up for books

private conversation less likely

tbf, most of the lols on the interent are not actually laughing out loud, either

ilx IS definitely fond of nose-tweaking folks who have lots of time for it but regularly announce they have little time for crap. personally i think speaks well of our irreverence towards ourselves.

I have so much time for crap I can't even tell you.

i am made of crap

sure vegemite isn't that bad

living your in a cave

*reads a book*

*watches a bird*

*wishes a new clusterfuck would distract everyone*

*wishes that clusterfuck to occur on the Spoon poll*

ty, wins. I'd fix that, but ilx doesn't allow me to correct my typos. is it like that for you, too?

imago you are sorely neglecting your powers of clusterfuck-production

*on the internet lol @ cavemen*

I type words the in right order

oh shit

nobody wants to clusterfuck about ornithology

maybe if i wish beaky death upon the dogs and maybe children of all who support this media-stoked herring gull cull

*watches a bird*

*wishes a new clusterfuck would distract everyone*

*wishes that clusterfuck to occur on the Spoon poll*

as the most banned poster of ilx, i have confidence in your ability to be the change you want to see

I read books. Don't mind the flickerings of light on the cave wall that is ILX either.

today i walked about 12 miles to identify a single sandpiper, and at the end of it all, it was a common sandpiper

you ask how i knew it'd be there - i just did, ok

i don't even know what spoon sound like

they sound like the piping of a very mundane oystercatcher

that sounds sexual?

cribbing saer's shtick here you all say - but when, if ever, might a dryad visit the shoreline?

take it to another thread, pal

whenever xo
