Gallows Humor Quote of the Day
Much of what WikiLeaks has uncovered is enormously unsettling, but I just laughed out loud when I read this quote from a NYT profile of WikiLeaks head Julian Assange:
“When it comes to the point where you occasionally look forward to being in prison on the basis that you might be able to spend a day reading a book, the realization dawns that perhaps the situation has become a little more stressful than you would like.”
It’s a bit of welcome gallows humor in the midst of a story of two stupid wars that should be making us all angrier by the day.
Return to Boing Boing: Week One
My return stint at BoingBoing is now half over. Here’s what I wrote about this week:
Skit Ideas Not Even Good Enough for Saturday Night Live
Greatest Song of All Time of the Day: “Blue Monday,” New Order
Curating a TEDx (or, From Arrogance to Humility)
Mr. T: Gold Salesman. Supposedly Legitimate Financial TV Network
Yeah, I know, not a lot compared to last time. But I’ll have plenty more next week. In particular, I’m curious what BoingBoing readers will make of my day job.
