I used to be like “I don’t give a shit about dubstep”, but now I’m like “I still don’t give a shit about dubstep”. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose, am I right?

UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau told students earlier this week that the university supports the spirit of Occupy Wall Street, but will not allow camping on its grounds.

Who cares what the chancellor of any university says about anything? Those guys are the Governors General of the world of tertiary education.

Yo I never noticed the bit at 1:54 (and also at 3:25) where The Bad Seeds “do a Regurgitator”?

Now that we’re on the subject of self-reflexivity and MetaTumblr

Who gives a flying shit what the guy from Degrassi II thinks about Tumblr As Creative Endeavour? What does he think this is, the Bloomsbury Algonquin Round Table Set for blogging about the book you just wrote/pedestrian R’n’B you just got featured in an ad for Nike?

Not sure I like the tone you’re taking there, Tumblr. “Would you like to view your - heh - *one* blog, weekender?” Look. Just because I keep all my blogs in one basket, just because my tumblr hasn’t been optioned for a reality TV series on FX, just because I fail to generate relevant alt web content and targeted ad revenue - That Doesn’t Make It Okay To Belittle Me On My Mobile Web Browser.

Though I can’t say I give much of a damn about maintaining the academic integrity of an institution where you can get a place by virtue of being married to the faculty/related to the management. Just kidding! That would be a total tu quoque fallacy.

secondgradefresh: Fuck. Me.  You should see some of the shit this thing comes up with! For instance: “THE XTC”: 10 oz. Cocaine Serve on rocks. Stir quickly. Garnish with pickled asparagus. “THE ELVIS COSTELLO” 8 oz. Water 8 oz. Fassionola (fruit punch concentrate) 10 oz. Half and half (as in, 50% milk and 50% cream, as in, 50% “what” and 50% “the fuck?” That is, unless they meant half Tooheys New and half Tooheys Old, but even then, water?) Combine in highball glass and serve. “THE BEACH HOUSE” 2 oz. Beer 2 oz. Iced tea Combine in shaker and strain into cocktail glass. Serve. “THE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN” 6 oz. Cognac Serve neat. (Really? Cognac? The Boss?) So far, the only one I’ve seen that works on both the “is a drink” and “makes sense that it is named after this band in particular” is “THE OINGO BOINGO”: 8 oz. Red Bull 8 oz. Akvavit Serve neat. Garnish with maraschino cherry. In order to appreciate how well this drink fits the brief, it is necessary to keep in mind that 16 oz. is a pint. Well done, website that I am now convinced is a complete pisstake. Golf clap. I forgive you for not knowing that the “The Triffids” is actually a case of Swan Lager, not a pint of Canadian Club and cream.

"errr I have no guilt or children"

— Tom Slater on what life must be like as a Proddie.  (via monsterpussy)

It is just like that but even better. Pros: already going to Heaven no matter what. Cons: no feast days, stiff upper lip sometimes gets cramps

idontwalkislide: UQ. Like this photo though I do — and it is a lovely photo, Phil — I have to say that it makes me want to gouge my eyes out. Those fucking jacarandas. Those fucking blue-purple flowers that are fucking everywhere crowding literally every fucking hillside and street in this fucking city like some leering bastard you half know who says with a smirk “shouldn’t you be studying?” when you run into him at a bar. Get out of my fucking face.
