Today on the radio, I heard a statistic that claimed the majority of voting Americans speak between an 8th and 9th grade level. It was followed by the statistic that 97% of tumblr users own a dildo and have shelves filled with books they’ve heard inspiring quotes from, none of which have a truly cracked spine. 

This fucking thing…

This fucking thing…

I would never say we’re anti-Internet at all, I’d say we’re pro-real experiences. Pro-things that occur when you get up out of your chair and experience things with other human beings face-to-face. When we have concerts [at Third Man Records headquarters in Nashville], we don’t allow people to film and take photos. That’s not about not letting people have a memento, that’s about: how sick are you of watching people in the crowd not looking at the stage? They’re watching a tiny little TV screen in their hand instead of watching what’s really going on in life.

—Jack White

That anyone would actually buy this damn thing in 2012 is laughable. Maybe in for the 2008 elections when people had foolishly deluded themselves into thinking that Obama was the peace candidate… but for fucks sake why are people actually still buying things like this.

candybulletsforever: coketalk: Everyone needs to stop referring to Thomas Kinkade as an artist. He wasn’t an artist. He was a craftsman. There’s a huge difference. A master craftsman can pump out a highly refined work product that isn’t actual art in much the same way that Olive Garden can pump out a highly refined menu that isn’t actual Italian food. Craftsmanship isn’t artistry. That’s Kincade’s legacy. I have tumblr = I am an art and cultural critic.

Yeah, skateboarding is my way of life. People just don’t understand skateboarding and how you see the world through a skaters eyes. Skating is life, people just don’t understand. Everyone who doesn’t skate just doesn’t get it, people just don’t understand. It’s an art, but people just don’t understand. I’m just trying to make something beautiful, and like, people just don’t understand. Seriously, like, they just don’t understand. And like, I post pictures of myself skating everyday on facebook and twitter, and I get like ten likes, but none of them really understand what skating is. I just want people to know what they’re missing out on, but like, they just don’t understand. Seriously, I hate everybody that doesn’t understand skating, and I hate all those people who think they understand skating, because people just don’t understand. Like skating is life.

Pretentious skateboarder who doesn’t realize no gives a fuck and that skating is whatever you make of it, whether it’s kicking it with the homies or escaping the stress of life or just trying to be cool (via candybulletsforever)

  • “They just don’t understand” being the thesis of the piece. One would think that this could have been condensed into a much more concise statement.

When I ask how old your toddler is, I don’t need to know in months. “Twenty-seven months.” “He’s two” will do just fine. He’s not a cheese. And I didn’t care in the first place.

—Bill Maher, The New New Rules

Only humans could be so presumptuous to believe that just because a few thousand species have gone or will go (including they’re own) extinct due to their behavior that they fucked up everything. Even with a mass extinction wiping out 99% of all known vertebrate species they’re would still be like 623 different extant vertebrates. In short the planet will do just fine without us. Thought that is not to say I’m endorsing an unsound set of ecological policies either, I enjoy existing and would like to continue to do so.
