Dwaze zaken

Over media, journalistiek en mooie dingen

"I am incredibly judgemental. This is partly because it’s fun, partly because it’s a way to bond with others and mostly because one of my few faults is not appreciating how difficult it is for others to be as amazing as I am."

These are the first two brilliant lines of Joel Steins (my favourite columnist by far) The Awesome Column this week in Time Magazine on Lance Armstrongs fess up at the ‘Oprah Scolding Network’. Why is American culture so fond of ‘overshaming’ and public apologizing? His last few sentences are spot on as well.

I believe that interview made us feel better about all the bad things we’ve done, because at least we didn’t cheat at cycling. Even better, it allowed us to avoid asking if we would have. I know I would have if I weren’t so afraid of needles. And exercising.

‘The inspiring story of a boy who climbed from the upper-middle class to the lower-upper class’. Lovin’ it!

"A recent study in the UK showed that more than one-third of all divorce filings contain the word ‘Facebook’. And that was before people invested in the company’s IPO."



- Aldus mijn grote held Joel Stein in zijn Time Magazine ‘The Awesome Column’ deze week over hoe Mark Zuckerberg ons idee over relaties heeft veranderd, niet alleen door Facebook maar ook door zijn opvallende relationship agreement met Priscilla Chan. ‘He agreed to take her on a date once a week and spend 100 minutes of alone time each week with her outside the office or his apartment.”
