He’ll No Longer Tumblr for You
Technohipster Jakob Lodwick quits the internet over harsh comments from his various detractors. “I may be a millionaire but…this sort of thing still hurts,” he writes. “You may conceptualize the Unites States as a great nation. But it’s also a big tribe, with its own irrational taboos. One of them is: don’t talk proudly about your achievements.”
This may be a good time to mention (proudly!) that, in the latest D&D campaign I’m playing, I’ve named my half-elf warlock “Lodwick.” Okay, there’s no really good time to mention that. But he describes Gawker’s Alex Pareene as an elf, so it’s totally pertinent!
