The "danger" signs in the Paris Metro are so wonderfully melodramatic, stylized, and lovingly rendered. They all feel like album covers, or T-shirts, for either Ska or New Wave bands.

I know it's not as horrific as a tan suit, but the President of the United States wore a fucking ball cap to honor the return of the remains of U.S. soldiers killed in battle. That happened.

Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted.

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit
I'm very tempted to try this (never usually shoot colour on film), although I think the next few months will have every site inundated with stuff shot on this.

How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail I would rather eat Quavers that are six weeks stale, blow dry the man bun of Gareth Bale, listen to the songs of Jimmy Nail, than read one page of the Daily Mail. If I was bored in a waiting room in Perivale, on a twelve-hour trip on Network Rail, halfway through a circumnavigational sail, I would not read the Daily Mail. I would happily read the autobiography of Dan Quayle, 1001 Things You Can Do With Kale, selected scripts from Emmerdale, if it meant I didn’t have to read the Daily Mail. Far better to stand outside in a storm of hail, scratch a blackboard with a fingernail, be swallowed by a humpback whale, than have to read the Daily Mail. If I was blind and it was the only thing in Braille, I still would not read the Daily Mail. Brian Bilston

Shortly they will sit in a room with some trendy/eccentric looking types who will use familiar words in unfamiliar ways, and will take their feet to tell them "keep doing that, but point more in your publicity pics on X" or something similar
The phrase "mainstream media" has become a pejorative term. We should instead use the phrase "professional media" to distinguish it from the chancers, Russian shills and partisan axe-grinders calling themselves "news sources" on the Internet.
