Happy Black Friday Caroline Polachek

I've definitely been plotting, I asked Craner for a list of old c. 2003 era blogs, because even though KPunk gets all the attention, it's a scenius thing, right?

And it's more interesting IMO to capture the conversation than just highlight a single individual's contributions.

I did this with an early-to-mid 2010s blog scene that was interested in aesthetics and been wanting to make it a series. Dig up old blogworld convos before they're lost, find representative or exemplary samples/interactions, publish em to preserve em. Amber & such

You could do that with Dissensus itself too.

It's true, but people tend to get fidgety when you start documenting them. If there was not too much objection, I'd potentially start tentatively curating towards a volume. Get a meta-thread going that lets people nominate threads.

[List of early Oughts blogs]

BTW if people have URLs for any of these, would help. Stuff this old tends to be difficult to search around for—everything that hyperlinks to it is also deleted.

sounds more like a hippy girl than an indie girl

in 2021 they amount to the same thing. even the punks are hippies now. You made a smart decision to jump ship to electronics.

That's all chicks Third, it's one of the few things evolutionary psychology is correct about. They're the gatekeepers, we're the applicants. We follow a "disperse widely" strategy; they follow a quality > quantity strategy.

It goes back all the way to plants. Sperm and eggs. Pollen and pistils. Eggs are more expensive to produce, so they needa be choosey. Sperm is cheap so you might as well spray it everywhere.

not at all, football chicks are very equal opportunity. But of course over there what you call football is not a game of the people but the game of gamblers.

don't go all incel on me Gus! all you need is a sense of fashion, and coolness, to be class. Don't support Chelsea, in other words.

Jim said to me recently for a proper piss-up you need three people, two to gang up on the third one who becomes the butt of all jokes. he was suggesting that craner is the perfect person for this role.

You pricks.
