White Noise, Black Hole and the Dopest of Seas
“Anything could happen. This morning, it did.” Paul Wells writes in Maclean’s about yesterday’s shootings in Ottawa. What we know about Cpl. Nathan Cirillo. What we know about the accused gunman. Some say our security failed us. Others are thankful it passed at all. Either way, an adjustment period is in the offing. “White noise. Black hole. The gravitational pull of nothingness. The silence as its own insistent ecosystem, nourished by Apples and Cokes and plotted upon plastic products whose names begin with i. On the Internet, it is always spring.” Don DeLillo reviews Taylor Swift’s deepest of deep cuts. Watch a trailer for the proposed Joan Didion documentary. Then fund it, maybe? Here’s what it sounds like when a concert cellist is hooked up to an EEG headset and plays a duet with her own brain. ”Shelter from the tweetstorm.” The sea is dope. Doug Ford, everyone. “A federal jury in Washington, D.C., returned guilty verdicts against four Blackwater operatives charged with killing more than a dozen Iraqi civilians and wounding scores of others in Baghdad in 2007,” Jeremy Scahill reports at The Intercept. Blackwater founder Erik Prince, meanwhile, “now has a new company, Frontier Services Group, which he founded with substantial investment from Chinese enterprises and which focuses on opportunities in Africa.” Ha ha, all’s well that ends well. Oh good, another way to feel bad about our eating habits. Plants can tell when they’re being eaten and they don’t like it. Also on Modern Farmer, five writers who also farmed. Professional advice on how to sell a haunted house. “Truly, has there ever been a whiter problem than worrying about your level of basicness?” Writing for Jezebel, Kara Brown closes the book on that word. (One can hope.) Set Your Thoughts Free.
Tube Gods, Idiots of the Sea, and the Saddest Tweet of All Time
“For the time being, this is the vernacular critique of whiteness that we’ve always needed, and it’s been right before our eyes all along. The term douchebag, again used as we already use it, has the power to name white ruling class power and white sexist privilege as noxious, selfish, toxic, foolish and above all, dangerous.”
From the annals of #GamerGate: Anil Dash is not a journalist, let alone a video game journalist, and yet … and yet.
If the Marvel Cinematic Universe is going to go the Civil War route, Jamelle Bouie has some ideas about how to correct a storyline that was a “far-right paranoid fantasy—and a mess” in the comics.
”I can’t even = I am having, at most, one feeling.”
That said, this New Tabs writer can’t even with this Monica Lewinsky speech on slut-shaming and Internet bullying. (The ’90s sound like such a dark time.)
“His publicist, a young woman, leaned forward preëmptively from the back seat. Pink was particularly irked that his criticism of Madonna had been deemed misogynistic, a charge that he has faced before. ‘Everybody’s a victim, except for small, white, nice guys who just want to make their moms proud and touch some boobies,’ he said. His publicist gave up.” Ariel Pink is doing great.
Shrimp are the idiots of the sea.
Hazlitt favourite FKA Twigs directed a concept film for, uh, Google Glass. All together now: :|
“But these first tube guys didn’t look much like the simple wiggling noodle man that’s since come to dominate America’s used car lots. They were sixty feet tall, with two legs that each had a dedicated fan and a separate articulated torso, arms, and head. These weren’t tube guys. These were full-on tube gods.”
How the sausage gets made. And by sausage I mean The Colbert Report.
“Monica Hanna, a tough litigator in New York City, is about 5 feet tall and has a high voice. She has always had misgivings about how she sounds, but things came to a head a few years ago, when one of the partners at her firm assessed a presentation she gave by telling her: ‘Your voice is very high.’”
The saddest tweet of all time.

Why Gerald Johanssen Matters
“A new ProPublica investigation has found that black male teens are 21 times more likely to be killed by a cop than their white counterparts… As we continue the struggle, then, we are wise to remember that at its most potent, ‘your grandparents’ civil rights movement’ was more than ‘a little messy,’ and no less moral by virtue of that.”
“I didn’t feel obliged [to write the book]. It was just something I finally couldn’t escape. I would have avoided it if I could have. But you find yourself in this terrible queue and that’s your task.” Richard Flanagan is this year’s Man Booker Prize winner for The Narrow Road to the Deep North. Here he is talking to Guernica; here he is on Bookworm.
Why diversity in children’s programming matters.
From Kyle Wagner at Deadspin, a comprehensive and thoroughly depressing look at Gamergate and the nightmarish future of discourse it suggests.
Hazlitt favourite Rawiya Kameir profiled Willow Smith for Fader.
“Aren’t you worried this pregnancy could be high-risk? What the fuck are you doing announcing it already? That is super bad manners! Yes indeedy! If I miscarry, I will tell you, and we can be sad together.” Wonkette editor Rebecca Schoenkopf announced her pregnancy in wonderfully Wonkette fashion.
Jeremy Keehn on John Branch’s Boy on Ice: Life and Death of Derek Boogaard.
Tidbits from Neil Patrick Harris’s new autobiography.
What music do you listen to when you need to concentrate?
“Bullfighting. The bourbon of sports.”
“I was already a mother of two, which puts me in the majority of American women who have abortions. Six out of 10 are mothers, which makes sense, because a mother could not fool herself into believing that having another baby was no big deal.”
Terminator Studies and a Quarter Hour of Fun
“Mostly, I offered understanding. The truth is, even for guys who hire me for three or four hours, the sex usually only takes about 15 minutes. It’s the understanding they’re buying.“
“She’s a great person to be poor with because we’ve been poor together! We could live in a car together and it would be really fun.” Rick Owens, the incurable romantic.
Fracking for the cure!
The Terminator Studies.
“Well, I have to get this weed out of my ass.”
Should Twitter suspend a transgender employee accused of raping her wife?
“I just call it stadium ‘Jonestown’ because the guy who runs the show is only there for prophet and being there makes me want to kill myself.”
“I very quickly learned a truth about parenting: In the early days, when the fetus, and then baby, has no stated preferences and can’t disagree with you, it’s as much about you as it is about the child. And if dressing my baby was all about me, there was going to be plenty of baggage.”
Rosamund Pike has some thoughts on playing the Gone Girl.
