Virtual Flaneurism

Me posting this quotation may be the definition of irony:

"It’s hard not to think “death drive” every time I go on the internet. Opening Safari is an actively destructive decision. I am asking that consciousness be taken away from me. Like the lost time between leaving a party drunk and materializing somehow at your front door, the internet robs you of a day you can visit recursively or even remember. You really want to know what it is about 20-somethings? It’s this: we live longer now. But we also live less. It sounds hyperbolic, it sounds morbid, it sounds dramatic, but in choosing the internet I am choosing not to be a certain sort of alive. Days seem over before they even begin, and I have nothing to show for myself other than the anxious feeling that I now know just enough to engage in conversations I don’t care about."

Less impressed by the gimmick than by the absurd diversity of his side-holders.

Straight from Erin's FACE:

Wait it out for the Walter Matthau.

This video is surprisingly HORRIFYING.

This video is exactly what you think it will be.

Who are these 31% of LGBT voters who are voting Republican?

Oh, memories.

This is the epitome of adorable.

This is the kind of song that makes me wish I had a productive way to rid myself of pathetic lament.

When I lived in NYC, I was often over-conscious of the truth illustrated by this picture: despite my comfort, two feet away was a five/six/three story drop. It's a bizarre existence.
