out of the blue

Okay, I appreciate the photography. The format is brilliant. The writing is pretty good. But in general, the content of A Softer World just hits me as over-the-top emo. Apologies to those people to whom it speaks and is meaningful — nothing wrong with that — I just can't palate it most of the time.

That said, there are a few that are brilliant. I just went back through the archives and found them:

• 226 – escape
• 175 – bank robber
• 194 – homeland security
• 026 – dreamer

But it's telling that the best one is actually from xkcd: 144 – robot kill!
