Sooooo good. (Taken with instagram)
I was going to share a song
But then I realised Tumblr only supports MP3 and damn if I can be bothered to transcode from FLAC to V0 right now.
All We Have Left Is Beautiful Music
Overwhelming sensation of erosion
I’m Not Okay with Chris Brown Performing at the Grammys and I’m Not Sure Why You Are
Chris Brown is an abusive asshole.
Reblogging because everyone needs to read this.

I don’t particularly care to rehash all of the garbage he spewed on Twitter yesterday, but I wanted to briefly showcase some of the most disturbing messages that Tumblr politics tag editor Alexander Ryking posted on a public forum last night. I just have one question: is this mature, professional behavior? Is this the type of person you want curating your tag content, Tumblr? Reblog if your answer is a resounding NO.
In order, here’s just what we’ve got in the screencap—he says similar things on his personal Tumblr all the time, but I thought it was important to point out that his troubled behavior is now spilling over to other media:
- calling women morons, feminazis and cunts
- equating the denial of “misandry” (a concept that is overwhelmingly rejected by everyone who understands gender politics) to denying scientific consensus
- stating that women who dislike him must have “daddy issues”
- again with the “daddy issues” thing, which IMO is the most grossly sexist part of this entire tirade
- equating women to dogs
- telling feminists to go die
This isn’t about removing him from the position of editor because of political disagreements; after all, Ryking isn’t a conservative! This is about baseless personal attacks against women specifically (although non-women who disagree with him about “feminazis” have incurred his wrath as well) and for no reason other than they identify as feminists. I cannot stress enough that these attacks take place in an internet culture where being an outspoken, visible woman online will routinely earn you death threats, sexual harassment, and acts of intimidation. Here we have someone completely oblivious to the way his words contribute to that atmosphere, and yet we’re supposed to trust him to edit the official politics tag? How can we believe that this man’s raging misogyny doesn’t spill over into that? It’s absolutely unacceptable.

1010101010 or I Just Had My Mind Blown
My friend Keir just introduced me to something incredible: The Radiohead 01 10 conspiracy.
A myriad of clues surrounding the release of In Rainbows point to the number ten: Announced 10 days before release on 10/10/07, 9 cryptic messages filled with the letter X (the tenth message being a picture of the band drinking tea), 10 tracks, a ten letter tittle.
Add to that that the album was released 10 years after OK Computer, another 10 letter title, and whose working title was Zeroes and Ones or 01, the ‘conjugate’, if you will, to 10.
Further investigation has lead to the idea that In Rainbows and OK Computer are intimately linked in something fans call the ‘01 10’ album. First, set your media player to cross-fade songs for 10 seconds. Then, build the following playlist:
1. Airbag (OK Computer)
2. 15 Step (In Rainbows)
3. Paranoid Android (OK Computer)
4. Bodysnatchers (In Rainbows)
5. Subterranean Homesick Alien (OK Computer)
6. Nude (In Rainbows)
7. Exit Music (For A Film) (OK Computer)
8. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi (In Rainbows)
9. Let Down (OK Computer)
10. All I Need (In Rainbows)
11. Karma Police (OK Computer)
12. Fitter Happier (OK Computer)
13. Faust Arp (In Rainbows)
14. Electioneering (OK Computer)
15. Reckoner (In Rainbows)
16. Climbing Up The Walls (OK Computer)
17. House Of Cards (In Rainbows)
18. No Surprises (OK Computer)
19. Jigsaw Falling Into Place (In Rainbows)
20. Lucky (OK Computer)
21. Videotape (In Rainbows)
22. The Tourist (OK Computer)
Bonus easter egg: In Rainbows and the 01 10 album (excluding the song Fitter Happier), both feature the golden ratio. The ‘golden ratio-th’ second of In Rainbows AND the 01 10 album is the point in the song ‘Reckoner’ when the backing singers start singing “In Rainbows”….
