and smash it
and be like "I GIVE A FUCK"

Those nonexistant Guantanamo Files
squashed:
Robot-heart links to another discouraging article on the lack of any organized files for those held without charge at Guantanamo Bay.
I don’t understand something about this….
I can’t tell if he’s joking or just being incredibly naive.

me: i just applied for a job at american apparel

Finding Balance
I used to think that Participation was a weird thing to observe, but I guess it’s not so much weird at all to editorialize about it anymore in a Web 2.0 world, probably even cliche by now….
Still, I probably think about it more than is healthy. I obsess over the choices made because it’s not just that not one person has made it but a whole group (and usually quite a large...

Conversation Between Me and Destro
Me: So, I got on the tumblr. this morning.
Destro: Is that the new top secret vehicle which we are building for our troops?
Me: No it's this social network blog thing.
Destro: Like the LiveJournal?
Me: I suppose it is. But it seems cooler. Check out my page!
Destro: That's a good COBRA logo but I don't think you're using the latest style guide.
Me: I got it from the shared drive, under Logos > March > COBRA > Pantone >
Destro: Oh that's why it looks different.
Me: Why's that?
Destro: Pantone is only for printing, you idiot! Your colors are all off. Use the one in the RGB folder for web use.
Me: I thought RGB was short for something.
Destro: It is! It's short for Red, Green, Blue.
Me: I thought it meant "RETREAT! GO BACK!"
Destro: You would think that.
Me: What? Uh... Hey speaking of Blue... Is this background too gay? It doesn't make me look gay does it?
Destro: No, but your voice does.
Me: Touché.

Thursday's There. I Said It.
Hipster Runoff? I don’t get it.
I mean, yeh, ok, I guess i sorta “get” why people like it, i’ve even been amused by it once and I enjoyed that funny Radiohead remix they did, but man… How is this still around? How is this still being referenced and aped? Am i missing something here or is it really just the constant, repetitive, childish snark that it seems?

fightwithknives:
Tumblr Radar is consistently disappointing. It does not reflect the content of its users. I thought it would get better when the format switched, but it didn’t really; the crappiness became compacted.
How many times are you going to post songs from “Once,” Tumblr Radar? Would you like to post a few more quotes about how we should appreciate life? Oh, how about you post a meme...
