THE FUTURE IS NICE
Conversational Reading pointed me to this flippin’ hilarious review of L. Ron Hubbard’s Dianetics, by Laura Miller. I’m usually not overwhelmed by her reviews in Salon, but maybe it’s just that Laura Miller is no Heather Havrilesky and Salon is, well, Salon.
Incidentally, my internet crush (/e-fatuation) on/with Heather has now gone full-blown after reading this extensive report on the hopeful rise and tragic, spluttering failure of Suck.com. (She wrote for Suck as Polly Esther.) I thought it was interesting, (and sort of exhausting), but it’s probably not worthwhile to anyone who doesn’t know or give a shit who Carl Steadman is.
To sum up: the Internet bubble exploded and burned up everyone’s magical Internet money, Suck is dead and Plastic is boring, and if you don’t read Rabbit Blog then you are probably gay.
