When this used to be a website that would like, update content regularly?

Pssshhhhh

From today’s David Brooks column in the NYT:

“When you look from today back to 1945, you are looking into a different cultural epoch, across a sort of narcissism line. Humility, the sense that nobody is that different from anybody else, was a large part of the culture then.“

Yeah, it was nice the way people in the ’40s thought nobody was different from anybody else, and everybody could go to whatever school they wanted to, or drink from whatever fountain they wanted to.  Good times!

The moral of the column is: back then we were modest and focused on humanity as a whole, whereas now we are selfish, or at least self-promoting and self-indulgent, even though back in the WWII era we actually had more to crow about.

Oh. And his examples of those humble 1940s people: Cary Grant, Bing Crosby, Dwight Eisenhower

Our modern selfish culture-destroyers: Muhammad Ali, Kanye West, “football players”

…

Some humble folk affirming their shared belief that nobody is different

WITH KOOKY RESULTS!

Two futuristic professors discuss generational cultural movements, the possibility of extra-solar life, and the craft of acting!

Neat!

ONE: Contextual Advertising.  How could it go wrong? I guess, hypothetically, adding a police recruitment tag to a video of a cop kicking a teenage girl.

TWO: Ok, as someone who recently purchased a pair of tight, bright-red levis and clear lens way-farers, I can confidently confirm that this article correctly predicts future hipster trends.  Or not, whatever, I could care, right? (h/t the super sweet Stuff Hipsters Hate.  I love Tumblrs [Tumbls?])

THREE: Finally. Yacht Rock. Yes.

Kenny Loggins, you get in the fucking back of the group. This is my picture.

Start with the rump? That’s usually where I get off.

h/t Everything is Terrible

ah hell, as long as I’m raiding their weblog:

Love the comment from youtuber singinglawnchair: “This sounds like if Kenny Loggins acquired a DUI on his record and had to write this song for community service”

Yes We Can.

Cocktails are delicious, cocktail culture is kind of pretentious cool

This is reassuring to people like me, who, at 27, are still trying to break in to international espionage:  11 (famous, duh) people in the wrong career at age 30 (h/t The Daily What)

Live in California? Are not a felon? CAN I INTEREST YOU IN A PROPOSITION TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA? Hooray Direct Democracy! Cons: Bankrupt State with approximately 87% unemployment, No Hot Lesbian Weddings.  Pros: Possibly legal marijuana

p.s. sorry for the long delay, but we’re working on a secret new feature that, if we pull it off will be awesome, but if not, its secret and you’ll never F’ing know.
