Dogs Wearing Sunglasses

“In the only written statement that Mr. Twombly ever made about his work, a short essay in an Italian art journal in 1957, he tried to make clear that his intentions were not subversive but elementally human. Each line he made, he said, was “the actual experience” of making the line, adding: “It does not illustrate. It is the sensation of its own realization.””

Do Social Media Make Protests Possible?:

If you’re like me, you get excited when there’s a new Clay Shirky or Malcolm Gladwell essay in your life. This is a brief point/counterpoint-style response to each other’s essays on social media’s power in activism.

I lean more towards Gladwell’s point of view.

“People commonly use the word “procrastination” to describe what they do on the Internet. It seems to me too mild to describe what’s happening as merely not-doing-work. We don’t call it procrastination when someone gets drunk instead of working.”
