one hundred billion galaxies

"Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another."

it’s inconsiderate, it’s shallow, it’s insulting.

  • City Gent: The time elapsed between Joyce's 'Ulysses' and 'Finnegans Wake' is nearly 20 years. Often, people would say to him, "what's going on?" And he would say, "I had a good day today. I wrote a word." Um now for me, that's not really writing. That's simply putting a word down. And this kind of stasis, this kind of collapse, this kind of absolute obscurantism really has mired art for the last, I'd say, 120 years. It hasn't got anything to really contribute. And this lack of confidence--I mean, it's a crisis, really--is probably, to my knowledge, caused by Ice Cream Eyes.
  • Ice Cream Eyes: How could that have been me? I was watching Time Team from the secrecy of an umbrella. I blame Tony Coins.

srsly, somebody dropbox it for me!

May 7, 2013

Charles Ramsey, the man who helped rescue three Cleveland women presumed dead after going missing a decade ago, has become an instant Internet meme. It’s hardly surprising—the interviews he gave yesterday provide plenty of fodder for a viral video, including memorable soundbites (“I was eatin’ my McDonald’s”) and lots of enthusiastic gestures.

But as Miles Klee and Connor Simpson have noted, Ramsey’s heroism is quickly being overshadowed by the public’s desire to laugh at and autotune his story, and that’s a shame. Ramsey has become the latest in a fairly recent trend of “hilarious” black neighbors, unwitting Internet celebrities whose appeal seems rooted in a “colorful” style that is always immediately recognizable as poor or working-class…
