Didn't read through this, but basically the commenters would all like the commenting system to stay the same, right? NICK DENTON WAS SOMETHING SOMETHING

Honestly, I'm surprised this wasn't commissioned by the Awl as its theme song?

On Bloomberg Takes Strong Stand Against Extreme Socialism
I always wonder if Quinn and Bloomberg work this shit out in private to help Quinn's candidacy. "OK, now you should propose this liberal-sounding but mostly inconsequential policy, and then I'll come out really strongly against it, to show that you're not in my pocket and to make people think it actually is a big, consequential policy."

@Bitzy No! We drove up to Magnuson Park and waited for a while but it started to feel like the first episode of The Killing so we booked it.

Oh thank god - we went out last night to try and see the Northern Lights (Seattle!) and both of our iPhones were very confused about which way was which and we thought both of us were so inept that we couldn't even read a goddamned compass right.

On The Web Celebs Of Yesteryear
"We'll show the mainstream media we don't need THEIR help to mercilessly build up and then tear down pseudo-celebrities!" is a good summation of many arguments on/about the Internet.

On Free To Be... Straight White Males
The thing I'm wondering about, I guess, is how much of this is just The Internet? Because sure, there is some of that not-niceness stuff online, but walking down the street as me-who-I-am I don't get aaaaaany of that. So is The Internet the Real Thing, the place where the social mores that enforce privilege are broken down and we can be honest with each other? Or is screaming at each other in text boxes inherently disconnected from how things play out on an interpersonal level and ultimately not all that meaningful? And how does all that connect with the TED stuff - does it mean in THE FUTURE we will all be online and so will be yelling at one another about privilege, or that the super-rich ding-dongs building THE FUTURE will build it in such a way that it enforces their view of how the world should work?
