Helvetica, of course, would be Superman. A feature so prominent in its field that no one really knows how to properly use it anymore.
That is perfect.
Also: I'm not as big a fan of Helvetica as I once was, and honestly Arial isn't really that much worse, but it irritates me that thanks to Microsoft, the ripoff has become more widespread in internet/computer contexts than the original.

Hydrox came first; Oreo was introduced four years later but ended up becoming more popular, to the point where people often assume Oreo was the original and Hydrox was the knockoff.

Looking them up now, I'm really disappointed that I never got to try any. A tangier, sweeter filling sounds nice...
“Compassion is an unstable emotion. It needs to be translated into action, or it withers. The question of what to do with the feelings that have been aroused, the knowledge that has been communicated. If one feels that there is nothing ‘we’ can do — but who is that ‘we’? — and nothing ‘they’ can do either — and who are ‘they’ — then one starts to get bored, cynical, apathetic.” — Susan Sontag, Regarding the Pain of Others (via eibmorb)
Not the intended purpose of this quote, but I think this explains why Tumblr acts the way it does

I got that from Sociolab, which is arguably the best social justice-focused blog that I have yet seen.

I'd just like to point out that John Kasich didn't even receive a majority of votes when he was elected. That's how much we don't like him either.

hey guess what fuck you ohio
Fuck you too, blogger who generalizes all of us based on a few powerful assholes.

(though from what I know, outside of the Denver area, Colorado is pretty much a red state...heck, Focus on the Family's based in Colorado Springs!)
That's fairly typical, no? Big metropolitan areas tend to be blue and rural areas tend to be red, and AFIAK Colorado doesn't really have any big cities besides Denver...
Getting really tired of all the Macklemore hate on my dash. I don't exactly like the song Same Love, but despite being slow and boring, it still seems very genuine. And it bothers me that people are willing to dismiss it entirely based off of one line.

Please note before you say anything that I understand that pop music can be subversive by dint of its use of popular forms to make a point via the whole "conform to deform" premise, but that's thorny territory and not what I was addressing there. Rather, I was talking about the self-proclaimed vanguard and the preachiness of political art that does not seek to be as radical in form as it is in content.
I wasn't talking about unintentionally radical art. If a piece of art is simply self-evidently revolutionary without aiming to incite, then it falls outside the purview of the statement. I am referring here to art that explicitly aims to inspire revolutionary, anti-hegemonic sentiments—explicitly political art.
See I don't like that idea more or less solely because it discounts a lot of Killer Mike's work (and I'm sure much other socially-conscious southern rap that I'm not personally familiar with).
That's an interesting counterpoint: If something is worthwhile as art and radical in content but not necessarily radical in form, does it fail as radical art per se?
I would say that depends. It can still be important and have an impact without being "pure"—and purity is for madmen and fools anyway—but that doesn't mean that it couldn't go further as a comprehensive statement. Again, form is just as powerful a way of "sticking it to the man" as saying "screw this." My point was really that all too often form is ignored in favour of content without the recognition of that power.
To put it another way: Hearing something that you have never heard before sticks with you. If a work of art is too staid in form and execution, the content is irrelevant because there is nothing that sticks with you. It is simply another sculpture, another pop song.

well, first of all, Same Love is older than Accidental Racist so that doesn't even make any sense.
second of all, no.
