Full Disclosure, I am not a huge fan of Reddit. I do not know why I have never used it as a resource, just that I never have. That is part of why I find this story fascinating.
So, there was this guy...he was the ultimate troll on a site well known for trolling. Gawker figured out who he was and outed him. He was then fired. The Atlantic then published a long form guide to understanding internet trolls, specifically regarding the outed douchebag.
Speaking of Trolling
Slate is definitely trolling with the headline "What do pandas taste like?". You know that you want to know what they taste like and you also have recipes that you want to adapt for panda as the protein.
The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead season three premiere set the record for basic cable viewing. (Vulture)
Speaking of the apocalypse...
As it is the anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis, there have been some amazing posts showing up...including this one: "We Will All Fry" Never Seen Notes from the Cuban Missle Crisis. (The New Yorker)
Randomness
Dr. Seuss' Malaria Pamphlet.(Flavorwire)
Bon Iver on Austin City Limits (Pretty Much Amazing)
Beautiful but Complicated Cufflinks (Uncrate)
Just a gorgeous home in Seattle's Capitol Hill. (Contemporist)
And Stephen Colbert weighed in on the American Family Association and their symbolic protest. (Mediaite)
You're missing the "l" at the end of the Slate link. Initially I thought they took it down. Maybe because a fact-checker taste-tested panda and found the article inaccurate.
ReplyDeleteI like Reddit. It's a microcosm of the Internet: lots of intelligent and supportive people, and a lot of trolling gone wild. But a lot of what's there never should have been on a site ostensibly owned by Conde Nast. My goodness.
Fixed the link. Thanks.
DeleteI want to try panda...i think it will be much much better than koala.
Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I mean, I used to love /.
