During the peak years of this blog (2006-2010) we covered all things culture, and felt especially attached to internet culture. Now, the internet is basically dead and everybody has retreated to the safe and sanitized world of apps. But it doesn’t have to be that way!
I’m not even trying to say that we’re back, or that I’m back, even – hell, I hardly ever update my own site or Unarmed. But if there was ever a place on Earth built to talk about the web at large, then this is one of those places and my fingers still work, oddly. So anyway.
The main thing that we’ve always loved about the internet is the access to subculture. Someone gets really passionate about a thing and then they tell other people and all the other people who are into that thing gather. It’s great. What’s missing, if you’re a person who just kind of likes to dip into and out of a subculture, are the places that curate all the wonderful curios that you can still find out there.
One such place I’ve found is the front page of Imgur, which is, simply, the best place on the internet to find memes and other assorted hoots.
