The world has dorkified itself. Dave Eggers says so, anyway

The world has dorkified itself. Dave Eggers says so, anyway

"...Mae exhaled through her nostrils.

"I love it when you do that," he said. "Does that mean you have no answer? Listen, twenty years ago, it wasn't so cool to have a calculator watch, right? And spending all day inside playing with your calculator watch sent a clear message that you weren't doing so well socially. And judgments like 'like' and 'dislike' and 'smiles' and 'frowns' were limited to junior high. Someone would write a note and it would say, 'Do you like unicorns and stickers?' and you'd say, 'Yeah. I like unicorns and stickers! Smile!' That kind of thing. But now it's not just junior high kids who do it, it's everyone, and it seems to me sometimes I've entered some inverted zone, some mirror world where the dorkiest shit in the world is completely dominant. The world has dorkified itself."

Trump's candidacy demeanor is like Serena Williams getting up and insulting the spanish chick

Trump's candidacy demeanor is like Serena Williams getting up and insulting the spanish chick for beating her, the crowd for some bullshit, the officials for a bunch of mostly made-up shit, and then saying through the mic to the whole world : "Fuck you! I should have the damn cup!"

Incidentally, my two highlights from the tournament were both in the awards presentations.

Djocovick's eloquent bi-lingual comments, and Serena Williams accepting her runner-up cup - all in French - with grace, dignity and apparently, lots and lots of homework.

Justin Bigos: Is this stuff dangerous?

"...These angels, he says. They once walked the earth. God had already expelled Lucifer from His Kingdom, and Lucifer, listen, son, bitter, angry, proud, had begun his reign on earth. He sent these angels to breed with Woman. The offspring were the Nephilim. They were giants, demigods. They stole land, beat their neighbors, raped their own daughters. Listen. In the beginning of the Old Testament, right there in Genesis, he says, the tale of these human demons is there for anyone who wants to see. Look around, he says. They never left."
