Today at around noon an anon posted the above graphic on 4chan’s anarchic /b/ messageboard. While half the resulting comments related how stupid they felt the idea, the other half seemed somewhat motivated to ‘take down’ Tumblr. Which would basically be 1) creating fake Tumblr accounts, gaining a following, and bombing people’s dashboards with child porn and 2) hacking into Tumblr accounts with a large following and bombing people’s dashboards with child porn.

Heh. No idea where this Tumblr ‘raid’ on 4chan is originating. Anyone? TC mark

  • Three Cheers For "Boring" Love

    In fact, sometimes we are so eager for that thrill of danger, of uncertainty, of desire, that we’ll search for and create problems where there are none. It’s as though our brains can’t comprehend that something can simply work, and that happiness is not just a wisp of smoke we’re meant to perpetually chase and never attain.

  • Insane Things I've Said To Women

    Ladies. Please, stop throwing your panties at your computer screens. I don’t mean to be this sexy; it just happens. Even though I’m not a vegetarian, I have a lot of admiration for their kind. To stop eating meat, you are probably either ethical or health-conscious, both of which are appealing traits.

  • I Wanted To Be A Poem

    The kiss was not well-executed. Our foreheads were interlocked, attempting to preclude the act. She was rubbing my temples, my shoulders, relaxing the malaise out of my muscles, working to my bone marrow. Why did I let her touch me, was I aroused by illogic? No. I wanted to be transcendent, cerebral. I wanted to be a poem.

  • Essay

    Writing like this is what we call an essay — a try, an attempt. This is, of course, the etymology of the word — from the French, essayer, to try. This is not about creating a highly polished, clean, clear monolith. It’s about seeing how thoughts meet language and what kind of order might emerge.
