Good job America
We have successfully debated gun control into bland Oblivion and now the most recent criminal is already being forgotten without first being infamous.

The upside of the current debate over gun control
It’s vastly overshadowing the shooter himself – it’s been just a cursory look at whatever he is and then back to our usual gun control argument. A hugely positive development; attention paid to the shooter is some part their motivation. A desire for infamy is quite baffling, but that does seem to be a common theme amongst these monsters.

Isaiah’s Job and the Thousand True Fans
I never thought of the similarity between Kevin Kelly’s One Thousand True Fans (from 2008) essay and Albert Jay Nock’s obscure epic Isaiah’s Job (from 2006) – both are about eschewing mass market appeal – and narrowing in on a select group (Kelly’s thousand true fan’s – Nock’s the Remnant) who truly understand whatever it is your’re doing. The similarities are rather odd.
I just got memoirs of a superfluous man on kindle – I guess I’ll have to check and see if there are any similarities to classic issues of Wired…
