(Seriously. I stopped reading most of the internet, so I don’t know anyone. I once had a blog! But I deleted all my Google alerts — Choire called it “the way to spiritual fulfillment” — so I have no idea who Summer Of...

Do you think it could be because I don’t know my birds and bees?

“This question always upsets me. Enrages me even! Did irony ‘live’? I...”
– FUUUUUUUUU. I think he just killed that question forever, or until the next convenient historial marker.

And it looks like everyone is really pissed off at each other, but I don’t understand any of it.
The moment I hate on the internet more than any other: when you are forced to make a joke because someone said something dreadfully mean about you, and how else could you possibly respond?
