I just discovered a magazine, and web-site,

Http://www.hypebeast.com

It started with a focus on sneakers (what I see as an intersection of shoes and "street culture"), and expanded into graphic novels, music and other aspects of "lifestyle".

I first read about the above, from a 2014 issue of the paper-pulp magazine known as Cereal (the editor then: Rosa Park).

I guess, I've been furloughed from my part-time job at a restaurant

Dies irae

"the night cometh when no man can work".

I heard/read about this quote from Irving Howe's 1982 essay, "Reflection on the death of my father"

Assuming there exist some people who desire to be different from others, it is rather ironic that in trying - attempting - to look different, these people collectively look the same.

I need not count how many credit cards are advertised as "it's more than a credit card" to illustrate my point.

In this context, software that is named "Yet Another To-do List" seems so refreshingly candid, and subversive, even.

Male customer: "I'm just one person"

Waitress: "So you want me to accompany you, is that it?"

"No, no! I just thought-"

I am a machine
My input is food and beverages
And my output?
Pee and poop, of course
My input is a News Feed
And my output?
Oops, my output is a News Feed, too
How cyclical is that
I, I, I,
I am merely a machine
What did you block me on WhatsApp for
What did I say
Machine is as machine does,
As my machine used to say

At a bar-cum-restaurant. Did The Beatles just turn into so-called muzak

Do authority-figures feel a threat that people can network with one another?

I'm just wondering.

I've come across some (possibly academic) research that said something, set in the above context, like, "Authority neutralises networks. Networks keep authority in check. The two forces have an uneasy co-existence with each other".

Let me know if you know the name of the researcher who said the above; I know that researcher is female but her name eludes me (for now)

I am a lamb being sent among wolves. I have to be kind to myself and ask (myself) what I am getting in return - and I am instructed to be "as innocent as a dove" in doing so

It's quite astounding to me that there can be people who are intellectual but not intelligent
