OH, from one besuited middle-aged white guy to another: “No one likes a one-armed dentist!”
TED’s health conference just let out next door & it was like this but with middle-aged white dudes in muscle shirts. pic.twitter.com/jEDAYmFUpU
If I didn’t know he was tracking a hoax, I’d think @thanland was documenting the beginning of Area X, from @jeffvandermeer’s Southern Reach.
Wondering if Lincoln knew about the German Romantics. [Reminding my clicky, curious left index finger why we’re never going to grad school.]
My favorite line from all of political speech, ever, is Lincoln's: "We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country."
/Ben Stein voice droning/ "and the city of Kongsberg has how many bridges? Anyone? Anyone? Euler?"
@mattdpearce YouTube's news director once told me they expect video of most events within an hour.
Add to that the argument that *images* of the beheadings turned U.S. polls re ISIS and you have a war launched from networked photography.
Has the NFL seen the Rice video? Should cops be surveiiled? And don’t forget the celebrity nudes: What may women do with networked lenses?
•@mattdpearce is on a roll: Story after story right now is about the ethics and consequences of photography that’s attached to the network.
It's a *critical* debate going on right now, for almost every story. Should police wear body cams? Should we watch ISIS' beheading videos?
But there is some deeper, broader cultural thing going on here about how we, the public, treat video, and about the role of witnessing.
I'm not saying asking questions about who saw the video is pointless, because it raises good questions about NFL's credibility/diligence.

Anyway, there’s been no serious scholarly challenge to my definitive take on this last year: https://twitter.com/yayitsrob/status/367338647286067201 …
Also our proclivity for repeating the same joke on Twitter, over and over. I’m flummoxed by that too.
I’m encouraged by recent, more realistic writing about Millennials, but flummoxed that pundits still ignore our unprecedented hotness.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup.
