Internet in Brief: 5/29/09

• Working with Squelch can be just as hazardous as rubbing your balls on the ruins of Chernobyl. But instead of becoming sterile, we totally lose perspective on irony and trolling. Hence, I still can’t figure out whether this is a joke or not.

• Rest assured, Berkeley! You’re not the only UC suffering from overrighteous students obsessing over foreign policy irrelevancies!

• Fuck you, Chris Brown. Not even Zarathustra could believe in you.

• Eve is smarter than 90% of teenage Youtube commenters.

• Fuck you, California.

• I guess this makes me a n00b, but I’ve never seen this before. I really want this (and this, and this) but I also really want these clothes, so don’t take me too seriously.

• The Supreme Court is pretty boring stuff. I have no link for this, as this is a self-evident, a priori analytic judgment. Also, no one our age cares about Sonia Sotomayor, nor about the paper she published in Berkeley’s own La Raza Law Journal. In the immortal words of the Daily Show: How many members of the Brady Bunch can you name? Now, how many Supreme Court Justices can you name? What does this say about you?

• In other news, writing up this shit is harder than you think. Sarah Jeong, over and out.
