One of the many ways Bruce Sterling is brilliant is his ability to churn out useful analogies. In this interview he explains the ephemeral nature of blogging in a way that resonates strongly with me:
I’m a blogger and I’m very keen on randomly-assembled narrative chunks, but I’ve always known that blog content has a short shelf-life. It’s like doing stand-up comedy.
Just so. I take him to mean that a blog post has a moment and a context and an intended audience. Even if it “works” on the moment it’s delivered, it isn’t designed or intended to make sense or offer amusement a year later. Sometimes, though serendipity, it may; but that’s neither the intention nor (usually) the outcome.

So I saw this line on a raunchy porn Tumblr somewhere:
My favourite fuck-holes, in order of preference: MOUTH, ASSHOLE, then PUSSY.
And it made me feel…old.
You know why?
Because I am old, would be the flip answer; though in fact I’m only just sorta middle-aged. But what I mean is, I’m old enough to remember when being “all about the pussy” was a defining character of manliness. Hookers were still using “Greek” as a euphemism for anal sex between a man and a woman, and it was expressly because of the reputation the classical Greeks had for man-on-boy anal. Men could get blowjobs but you didn’t admit to licking pussy (sissy!) or wanting to fuck your woman up the butt. If you wanted to put it up her ass, the thinking was, it was because you were a closet homo without even the courage to try it with a man.
So I saw that quote on that Tumblr and it was a “wow, the world really has changed” moment for me. Which of course it has. The discourse about sex of all kinds the internet has enabled has radically changed our sexual world.

As always, we start with the basics. Boys, pay attention:
If you want some hot cougar action, pull up your pants, please!

So I just saw Barbara Walters on TV, asking the Obamas “So why where you hugging so hard in Iowa?”
As Michelle takes a breath to answer, Barak jumps in with a shaking head and a genial tone that nonetheless conveys he’s answering a stupid question: “Because I love my wife!” The “Duh…” was unstated but audible nonetheless.
