Like, seriously, what was reporting before the internet happened?
Online directories, archived stories, a butt ton of information. I feel like I have it so easy.

I feel like a tool.
Wearing my “Join or Die” t-shirt today….and we’re talking about the Founders’ role in US foreign policy in my poli sci class.

Articles like these are why I love great writing. Andrew Sullivan writes about 9/11 in this week’s Newsweek.
I remember watching the towers fall, and feeling something deeper fall as well. This was the end of American innocence, the end of the American century when the New World could really understand itself as immune to the theocratic barbarism of the Old. We saw an emblem of our...

My Sunday subscription either didn’t come today or was stolen. That seriously is the worst start to the day that I can imagine. Coffee just tasted bitter. Cereal was soggy. I feel ignorant about the world.
BUT instead I’ve had a lovely chat conversation with Speakthelanguage (tumblr r.i.p.). Silver linings, bitches.

All the news that's fit for my wall
Last night, I followed through on an idea I had wanted to put to action for awhile: creating a wall collage of NY Times headlines, captions, and photos. Jenneric and I worked on it last night, using about three back issues of NYT, and I think it looks pretty fucking cool so far.
Sure, the double sided tape sucks and shit keeps falling down because of my fan, but I think having to avoid...

The golden rule of Tumblr.
Construct every post as if your future lover will read it.
Anonymous asked: I get what you were talking about in your last post, but also find those posts annoying. Like, "I love my life, but it would really be improved by adding THIS." The THIS to me (because I do it too sometimes) is always something dumb that I worry about when there is nothing else to worry about. You can't get better than having a group of close friends. Sure, you're not friends...

I want to get better at meeting people.
This desire has become a bit of a common trend between some of my closest friends. We mostly acknowledge that we love the friends we have, but that it would be nice to expand our circle a bit.
I’m worried that I come off as unapproachable at times. I’ve always been “the initiator” in many situations, whether it be conversation, friendship, sex, whatever. Maybe...

Hey guys, I have a favor to ask.
It’s super serious.
If you claim to stand up for justice,
for equality,
for human goodness,
then please go tell Cory to come to Atlanta for my last homecoming dance.
OMG this is soooo adorable, Eric! Might be too cute for me to pass up, jeez. Stay tuned.

But thankfully my Intermediate Macroeconomics Theory summer class does not have a Tumblr, so I say this without reservations: Econ class, I dislike you. You’re really a downer sometimes. I know maybe you’ll be useful in the long run, but right now I need a better friend than you. You just make everything so complicated.
Every person I've ever wanted to bitch about is on...
This means you.
(jaykay, it probably doesn’t mean you. I just wish I could rant about certain things.)

Arthur. This little dude has so much personality in this movie. His real name is Cosmo:
Ewan McGregor was becoming anxious toward the end of production on the comedy- drama “Beginners.” The actor had fallen in love with his co-star, a 9-year-old Jack Russell terrier named Cosmo, and…

Last two hours on the job.
My summer job is over this afternoon. Every weekday, all summer, from 2 pm until 6 pm, and for $10 an hour, I have been the guardian of the School of Media and Public Affair’s Digital Media Lab.
You need a camera? No problem; I’ve got you.
How about some new batteries? Of course!
An extra pair of headphones or an additional P2 card? You bet.
But, mostly, I’ve just...
