Today I learnt that I can recreate this scene word-for-word at my place with the current collection of tea available to me. This is what happens when you hoard tea because 1) you’re a coffee drinker and 2) when you do drink tea, you like to have a completely different flavour to last time.

tumblr i am glad that we can all agree that chris brown’s actions were inexcusable

now if you could start applying the same critical spirit to your favorite white dudes that would be great

mel gibson

bill murray

eminem

the list goes on

women are treated like shit in this world

True story: Earlier today, someone on my dash posted a pic of Julian Assange and the quote beneath it called him an “angel”. They then posted a gif of him helping an old guy during an interview and said he was “such a wonderful man”. WTF?

Katey reminded me today that a lot of what Chris Brown did can be attributed to the current crush of all of Tumblr. Even down to dropping the case to help the guy further his career. So I guess there’s that.

clambistro: nedhepburn: I got bored last night and searched “who is Paul McCartney” on twitter during his performance because a) people are stupid and b) why not. Apparently it was all over Reddit and the post on Tumblr had something like 15,000 notes last time I checked. Anyway. This just got Buzzfeed 108,000 page views in the last 9 hours (to give you an idea of how much traffic that is, I get around 900-1800 page views a day). Is Buzzfeed the Huffington Post of memes, just aggregating everyone else’s news to make it their own? I’m not knocking the people that work there, or for them featuring the story, just more the overall business model. It’s basically HuffPo all over again. Basically, Buzzfeed (potentially) made a shit ton of ad revenue off of something I did sort of baked watching a Beatle. They could AT LEAST buy me a sandwich. You know what? I actually don’t find any of these “who is [boring artist incredibly important to white dudes]??” memes funny. Is it so impossible to imagine that, to some people (mostly, judging by the screen shots, people who are not White Dudes), didn’t grow up deifying The Beatles, or don’t listen to ultra-bland aural porridge like Bon Iver? (Side note: until I was about 13, I sure as hell didn’t know who Paul McCartney was.) Fuck laughing at people who aren’t as “good” as you. Fuck laughing at “dumb” people. I remember last year, after the “Who Are The Suburbs?” deal (Which was funny for a while, I must admit, if only for the name gaffe), Chris Weingarten brought up a sample of tweets by the people who were laughing at that meme during one of his seminars about music market segmentation. Most of them were asking “Who is Lady Antebellum?” But of course we don’t call them up on that. It’s cool and trendy to not know who a multi-million record selling artist is. But not know your favourite indie artist who is mostly played on niche radio stations worldwide? BLASPHEMY! Ugh. As a final point, it’s worth repeating that most of the criticisms on Bon Iver at who-is-bon-iver are valid criticisms of a very bland, boring artist. At least if Nicki Minaj won, it’d be going to someone who performs decent music.

Is it odd to say I agree with this guy?

I’m not all that fussed about Valentine’s Day. People are so keen to be all like, “I’m so happy yay love love love!” or, “Fuck you all! I hate love fuck you!”. Just chill the fuck out. 

I’m so impartial to it all. 

Then again, I’m impartial to everything these days.
