I wonder why Adult Swim hasn't come up with a Doonesbury-esque political cartoon, yet. It would add an intellectual edge to their line-up, so maybe they do not want?
Shit, hang on, let me light up a cigarette, here....
The futility of being well informed engenders a sense of hopelessness and despair because journalists increasingly inform me of the terrible scandals and corruption, yet never recommend a course of action. That's the journalistic tao, I suppose.

I love to hear that such a radical change like this is happening, and happening in such a huge city, no less. Hooray for a revolutionary step toward a clean mental environment!
This post is also another sign of increased Situationist awareness on Monkeyfilter, which pleases me to no end.
In my opinion, Honolulu is a much more beautiful place for the state-wide ban on billboard advertisement & strict signage laws. It may be conjecture to say so, but I believe that this practice is a small part of why Hawai'i is the #1 Happiest State.
Freakin' AWESOME.
And how much it's like the old Situationist graffiti! Also not unlike throwies.

Thank you for this! It is indeed a quality introduction to SI – much better than any other SI source I've attempted to read (Adbusters, La Société du Spectacle, Bureau of Public Secrets) & makes my situation a great deal clearer.
In sooth, I was feeling very bad this week – alienated, isolated, alone. And now I don't feel quite so awful. My being in relation to the world feels somehow more concrete and integral. Even if it is a formless integrity for now, I will not go on feeling so isolated.
I'm going to evangelize the hell out of this.
We are already beginning to feel the effects of this in Hawai'i. “What you’re looking at is a future in which Hawai‘i’s beaches are covered with plastic, and plastic sand will become the norm.” =(
