    Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.


    Some of the wisest words ever uttered.

    What do you mean it was nothing? Look at the big board. They're getting ready to clobber us.

    "Boingboingians" is a silly description. "Oingoboingoes" would be better.

    I'm really over reading Boing. For every one cool thing there's 10 others about some pet fascination (steampunk!) beaten to death, relentless self-promotion (did you hear about Cory Doctorow's book, "Little Brother"?), Xeni trying to get the geeks hot and posting snuff video, Teresa Nielsen Hayden hatcheting away vowels at commenters who disagree with her like Mme. DeFarge with her knitting needles. It's like, they fancy themselves cool iconoclasts in this very West Coast way, but they're just as careerist and "platform"-building as any Manhattanite on the make.

    In reply to The Twitterati Wear Shorts to a Cage Match
    Oh, that Xeni Jardin. Part of me is interested by her- she's clearly lovely-looking, with a certain Annie Lennox aesthetic I appreciate unironically.


    But occasionally she does things at Boing that makes me loathe her, like linking to graphic video of some thugs in Russia brutally murdering some poor kid, the place gets in an uproar, and she lamely excuses it like it was a "teaching moment" about the Internet.


    No, Xeni, it was a snuff film, and I don't think you're actually very bright. No one wants to see that, and fuck you. The comments at Boing were flooded by people saying how traumatized they were by (giving into the temptation she laid out) watching that, and she lectured it wasn't her job to make moral decisions.


    I think she's kind of an asshole.

    True story: Once, while dining at a TGIF or Red Robin (one of those awful places, anyway) I spied a family of Christians holding hands and praying over their just-arrived tower of onion rings.
