So, what? You’re pulling a De Rosa? You’re throwing a tantrum and quitting?
Purpose of that post was actually to sort of talk out-loud about topics discussed by myself and others lately. It’s probably a more generous view of things than I’ve given in the past. Like, it’s saying that Tumblr...
August 2011
For the record, Tumblr was totally serving my needs until it wasn’t.
I have Tumblr to thank for introducing me to Beth, whose cheese plates last night were wonderful.
I also have few personal qualms with the concept or the technical execution. True, I am deeply critical of many sorts of ongoing behavior by all kinds of self-involved tech industrialists, interactive media sheeple and a...

ohhleary:
…followed by a debate by two talking heads (sorry, Brian) over whether or not the media reaction to Hurricane Irene was overhyped.
Meanwhile, PEOPLE ARE FUCKING DYING FROM THE REMNANTS OF IRENE IN VERMONT.
Quick, turn on public access to see an exclusive hurricane discussion between me, Jay Casey, and a pitcher of Zevons

BVan: “Which movie makes you more uncomfortable: Batman & Robin, or Powder?”
Ali: (after thinking) “Batman & Robin.”
(We joke about even the mildest inference that we might want to shoot someone with a gun over a disagreement. However, we admit to having strong feelings of anger over other folks’ inability to reason, but we think this is best solved by the people putting the psychoactive chemicals in the water supply. We think the dosage of anxiolytics has been off for about 15 years or so; better get on...

(Here at Fortune Favors The Bold we hold the viewpoint that no adult ever “deserves” to be the victim of an assault and that we can all work out our differences verbally, however we are willing to change our minds if Vangelizer can get a concealed weapons permit in New York State)

A Tree Falls In Brooklyn
Also, funny how Daily Intel used an example of a hysterical, erroneous tweet about hurricane damage that came from someone who’s primary job is being a media analyst and not a breaking news source. Saying that so-and-so should “know better” is like saying that a fullback shouldn’t fumble a handoff. If that comes from someone who’s job is to share a complete spread of...

The original concept of this post was to simply share the headline, because it really says all we need to know about the topic.* But now it seems like the article is not online (after appearing in my RSS), and I get suspicious about these situations, so I’m reprinting in full.

Complain On Tumblr That New Yorkers Do Nothing During Natural Disasters Other Than Make Lists On Tumblr About Other New Yorkers Using The Time To Drink, Complain, Brag, And Show A General Lack Of Preparedness For Any Adverse Conditions
Supermarkets are fully stocked with everything. Except for some milk, all the bread, and all the bottled water. Meanwhile, people are loading up on mayo, boxed pasta, salad dressing, canned tuna, etc. (of which there are plenty to go around) and are skipping all fresh produce and meats.
Conclusion: people have NO IDEA how to cook anymore.

Reblog if you’re less worried about getting flooded, injured, or killed in a hurricane than you are about having the third weekend in a row rained out.
