Cassidy was the first postmodern man
One of the first really startling images in Wolfe’s The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is that of Cassidy flinging his little sledgehammer over and over.

These cops sitting behind me in the restaurant are talking about their respective colonoscopies and it’s kinda disgusting but what can you do, it’s not like you can sush a table of police officers in public or even I suppose in private.

I think I know why I don’t like to listen to the Cowboy Bebop soundtracks anymore, and it’s Yoko Kanno’s fault. I realized it when I sat down to actually listen to Bjork for the first time, and realized what a debt that Yoko Kanno’s compositions for the new Ghost in the Shell series owed her. (A less charitable way of putting that would be how much of those OSTs ripped off...

There’s something wrong with the reasoning here, but I can’t quite figure out what it is. Those probabilities shouldn’t be considered together…?

Me: The company is considering taking out the music departments and replacing them with toy departments.
Mom: Why?
Me: Everybody buys music online these days.
Mom: But you're abandoning people like me, who think that's weird.
Me: With all due respect, people like you don't buy CDs anymore, either.
