1. In our time, a great man is like God: probably he doesn't exist, and if he does, no one can see him. 2. We all prostitute ourselves in the marketplace, and so we all must use protection: not tell the truth, unless it's what people want to hear, which, like a fair marketplace, we don't really want. 3. The only way to have a holiday in our time is not to indulge the pleasure principle: to take a day off from the incessant work of pleasure. 4. Democracy was the worst thing that ever happened to great men. Still, democracy would never Read More

GamerGate has been going on for more than two months now and shows no signs of running out of steam. That's because GamerGate is a genuine grassroots consumer movement, without a leader who can be shamed (unless you count Tyrone) or a political agenda that can be subverted.

Russell Brand is currently on the receiving end of a lot of flak in the UK media. This is more-or-less unprecedented. A few haters aside, Brand has been largely untouchable as a comedian, actor and, latterly political commentator since first appearing as a presenter on MTV in 2000. OK, his films, including Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) and a remake of Arthur (2011) have hardly set him up as the new De Niro, but his undeniable charisma meant that for the most part his popularity rode consistently high among mainstream audiences.
