Well it seems that tweets as a new medium or reporting can be a good way to get info out as fast as possible, the fast as possible part is a double edged sword. Since it has made every source of news the first to break a story it has made cable channels find innovative ways of casting eye candy fuck puppets to draw viewer attention because they already got that instant reporting thing down. Spoilered for size. FoxNews contributor Diane Falzone. Spoiler
Insta-news in stupid, impulsive and even dangerous. I wouldn't wipe my ass with a news station that uses tweets for anything other than ridiculing whoever posted it. Giving power to morons and pandering to your target audience is the opposite of news. They replaced in-field investigative reporting with interviewing hack "experts" in the studio while replacing actual fact with moronic opinion. Do you hear that? That whirling sound is Mike Wallace spinning in his grave.
Today's post from Penny Arcade is about the direction the media is going, particularly with regards to Joystiq folding. At the bottom they mention Ryan Holiday's book. Now I get to spend the rest of the day pissed off because I got reminded about that douchebag being famous and successful.
Good to see a born and raised Chicagoan supporting all his fellow supporting his fellow regional brethren like a true Masshole.
Look on the bright side, at least you don't look like him: I found that photo after looking up "pretentious" in the dictionary. There was no written definition.
Working 10 days in a row because my boss found out that I'm looking for something PRN and she's too cheap to hire someone PRN so that I can have a day off. A co-worker mentioned it....then she asked me about it....then I told the truth because I'm dumb....and the schedule came out the next day. We are exempt and don't get overtime pay. Nobody has ever worked more than 6 days in a row. This isn't a coincidence; this is her being a psychopath and "punishing me" for branching out. Fuck this.
Someone decided they needed my lunch more then me today. My guess it was one of the night cleaning people. Nothing like having your stomach all set for Fettuccine Alfredo and having to eat crackers and a couple of granola bars. Fuckers.
I basically did it to myself today. Half my fault half the wife's fault. I packed my lunch in the morning, i didn't check what was in the container, i just saw noodles(glass container with plastic lid) and thought it was left over spaghetti with not a lot of sauce. I get to work, it is lunch time, i go to heat it up and the container and it is just straight noodles no sauce.
I want to laugh at him. But at the end of the day he is the one with the pool and boulder landscaping, living (presumably) in Germany, the land of schnitzel and pomme frites. And I am the one with...not those things.
So how did a city besst known for coffee, Frasier, and being so fucking depressing that it drove Kurt Cobain to suicide get a football team worthy of making it to the superbowl?
