Writing on the Brain Another excelent commentary via A&LD. Loved the first paragraph. Interesting how A&LD likes to paraphrase articles in a way that doesn't seem to relate in any way to the content of the sources.

  • Die forgotten, little stupid post... Heck at least I'll link to the related Mefi thread.
  • It certainly floundered in the formidable umbra of the Kill Your Television thread. Ironic, no?
  • I hate TV.
  • Had we but world enough and time, I could diss Epstein's article, but life's too short to excoriate the nincompoop according to his demerits.
  • Jeez, dude, it's not like you don't get a turn or anything. /harshing your mellow
  • Also, I was thinking earlier of inserting a small sweet death notice/pavane for the defunct infanta, but I had to go out and suck up some rays on a really beautiful day just right before Mr Winter starts to poke his claws in. I had an aldaily.com stage for a while too, and whereas I used to find it a completely essential digest, now I'm now a bit ho-hummed out by Denis Dutton's conservative agenda. Not that I mind agendas as such, I guess I'm just in the mood for something a bit more raw and a bit less mediated. Like, er, MonkeyFilter.
  • I find Dutton enormously irritating - he move to New Zealand and spends the entire time bitching and whining that our political spectrum is to the left of the United States (or, more accurately, to the left of the right of the United States). Well, duh. Next: Dutton moves to Vietnam, complains about funny food.
  • I used to think I was a lefty before entering MoFi. Now I have a serious identity crisis. THANK. YOU.
  • Sorry - you could always emigrate to LGF to feel better :) Or Commie-Filter, and go all the way right. /reminds self: should start "Commie-filter" - all nonsense rhetoric, all the time
  • It's our job to confuse you, Zemat.
  • *sneers at both left and right* Nah, I will die contrarian. Now, if you excuse me, I will retreat to my corner and peel bananas and talk to myself.
  • ...shut up, Zemat NO! You shut up!
  • Get the white jacket for Zemat. Stat! Apply the banana peels. Clear!
  • Hey, don't single out the Z-man! We're ALL here because we're not all there...
  • I'm not.
