Socrates' Closet: A note on realists. →
socratescloset: I thought about this after my last post last night, in which I explained my idea of the one question survey. A lot of the realists — or those that call themselves realists — I know or see around the Internet are dark individuals. Their outlook on life is a bit foggy, and once in a blue moon they… Don’t agree with some/most/all of the content, but it may be worth...

livingintherightnow: Anyone else want more star wars movies? Preferably not part of the clone wars series?! George lucas make more movies! Given that Lucas created the absolutely terrible Star Wars prequels, are you sure you’d want more movies from him? See RedLetterMedia’s excellent reviews of the prequel trilogy: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review Star Wars Episode 2: Attack...

roxanneritchi: dontaskwells | alliterate | ohsweetzombiejeezus | squintyoureyes: Bane is Latino, dudes. You know, I could be fine with this choice so long as they get his characterization right. He’s not dumb muscle, dammit! He’s one of Batman’s most intelligent foes who also happens to be able to over power him. The problem being pointed out here isn’t characterization (I haven’t got...

abetterplaceabettertime: They’re doing it for attention. I don’t care if they said they are or not…they are. People who are serious about suicide, like people who have ACTUALLY gone through shit, I’m assuming they’ll write real suicide notes, then actually commit suicide.

She got straight As. Skipped 5th grade. Perfect SAT score. Varsity swim team. Student council. Advanced level piano. Harvard early admission. An international post with the Boston Consulting Group in Hong...

How to read Infinite Jest →
How to read Infinite Jest A few weeks ago, I wrote the foreword for Infinite Summer, a summer-long collective read of Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace’s big-ass novel and one of my favorite books. That piece was actually my second draft. My first attempt was a list of advice on reading the novel…the submission of which prompted InfSum’s dungeon master, Matthew Baldwin,...
