The World As It Is.
This passage is taken from the introduction to Chris Hedges latest book “The World As It Is: Dispatches on the Myth of Human Progress.” The book is a compilation of his essays from the last few years that have largely been ignored by the mainstream media. It allows a sort of honest and alarming clarity to settle over the “big picture.”

“Continuing the chain of imaginary offensiveness to stereotypes, I plan to open a Babies-R-Us next to the gay bar next to the mosque next to Ground Zero. Next to the Babies-R-Us I will open a pornographic bookstore, and next to that I will open a police station. Next to the police station I will open a hip-hop recording studio, and next to that I will open an Applebees. Next to the Applebees...

[1] It turned out that there was something terribly stressful about visual telephone interfaces that hadn’t been stressful at all about voice-only interfaces. Videophone consumers seemed suddenly to realize that they’d been subject to an insidious but wholly marvelous delusion about conventional voice-only telephony. They’d never noticed it before, the delusion—it’s...

Headless Valley
In the Fall of 1946, the Canadian press began to circulate stories of lost miners and hidden riches in a far northwest “Tropical” Valley. Weary of war news and the post-war depression, these fanciful tales of mysterious occurrences caught the public’s attention, and a young cub reporter for the Vancouver Sun, Pierre Berton, who wrote many of them, had the bold notion of racing...

Shitty Island
There’s something relatably transcendent and satisfying about seeing bottom dog, dark horse, longshot losers stand up for themselves in self-aware and snarky ways. I was reading The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle on the bus on the way to work the other day and I came across an exchange by the lackluster, ennuitic protagonist and his brother-in-law which triggered a synaptical brain parallel between...
