• David Brooks: Post-Apocalypse, Tea Partiers Will Rule The Next Decade

  
  Mediaite — Authority: 770
  “But don’t underestimate the deep reservoirs of public disgust. If there is a double-dip recession, a long period of stagnation, a fiscal crisis, a terrorist attack or some other major scandal or event, the country could demand total change, creating a vacuum that only the tea party movement and its inheritors ...

• The Mediate Census: Where The Aughts Took You, And Why

  
  Mediaite — Authority: 770
  No iframes? View this map . This little yellow line, moving southwest to terminate in a small bulb, is 92.85 kilometers long, or about 57.69 miles. It’s less than the distance between New York City and Philadelphia; slightly more than from San Francisco to San Jose. 57.69 miles won’t even get you from Austin to ...

• Eyeborg: Top 11 Cyborgs Of The Aughts

  
  Mediaite — Authority: 770
  New Year’s resolution: More columns about cyborgs for Mediaite. Learn Wordpress. And maybe get a black belt in Karate…and maybe a dog. I have inadvertently learned a lot about cyborgs by becoming one recently. It started when I damaged my right eye after shooting a pile of cow crap with a shotgun when I was nine. ...

• Final Thought on the Last Decade

  
  The Sly Oyster | culture, entertainment, liberal arts, shenanigans — Authority: 146
  Just two quick things to note regarding the past decade: One, culturally speaking, one could do far worse than read every article from The Awl’s look back at the aughts (or whatever).  Some are much better than others, with the ones that grabbed me being the essays from huge events I completely forgot (i.e. the ...

• Reading round-up: 1/4/10

  
  THE BEAT — Authority: 638
  WOW, lots of reading to do to get your ready for the new year! § You will be dumbfounded with amazement at Douglas Wolk’s list of exciting books coming out in 2010 like (above) Dan Nadel’s Art in Time: Unknown Comic Book Adventures, 1940-1980 , a follow-up to his Art Out of Time anthology. § Then ...

• You’re welcome, America. Dubya’s ‘lost decade’

  
  The Reid Report — Authority: 520
  Turns out the Bush era really was as bad as you thought... From the moment the conservative majority on the Supreme Court handed him the keys to the White House, you just kind of knew the George W. Bush era was going to suck. Now, it’s official. The first ten years of the 21st century (the “aughts,” or if you ...

• Worst decade in generations.

  
  MetaFilter — Authority: 720
  Aughts were a lost decade for U.S. economy and workers. For most of the past 70 years, the U.S. economy has grown at a steady clip, generating perpetually higher incomes and wealth for American households. But since 2000, the story is starkly different. The past decade was the worst for the U.S. economy in modern ...

• Slow Down, You Move Too Fast

  
  CAROLYN CASTIGLIA — Authority: 115
  The need for speed is ubiquitous these days, surrounding us in a maelstrom of noise, from high-speed Internet that lets us multitask (and by multitask I mean uploading a video to YouTube while Twittering about Twilight) to action movies filled with 2 hours of explosions and jump cuts. The intensity of the media we ...

  Life of Turner — Authority: 106
  Today marks the beginning of a new decade: the teens.(An aside: Ive been listening to the debate about the name for this decade between "The Aughts" and "The Naughts." I prefer the former, if not only for the sense of what "aught" to have been, so Im calling them the "Aughts".) I have been thinking about where I was ...

• Jeremiah’s Top Twenty of the Aughts (2000-2009)

  
  Adventures in Filmmaking Blog — Authority: 121
  I thought about it for a month now.  There were so many great films made in the last 10 years that there is no way for me to list the BEST films so I’m just giving you my favorites from the last 10 years. I was going to do the top ten but I just couldn’t.  To be honest, I’ll probably disagree with this list ...

• J. Lo’s Skimpy, Sexy New Year’s Outfit a Fitting End to Her Amazing Decade

  
  Mediaite — Authority: 770
  Aw. It’s nice that in 2010 we can still get excited about a female singer whose entire body is covered from the neck down. Well, her body was covered in a sparkly skintight faux-see-through bodysuit, but still. Last night on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve,” Jennifer Lopez her back-to-back decade ...

• The Aughts: the decade that sucked

  
  A Change in the Wind — Authority: 124
  Most everyone polled by Pew agrees: the Aughts sucked. Really. If this decade was a guy in high school, hed be one lonely fella. If this decade was an athlete, hed be the last picked for the team. (Seriously -- every other decade on which a poll has been taken has been well liked by a majority of respondents, but ...

  Curbed LA — Authority: 630
  Lost in the Aughts from curbed los angeles on Vimeo . LOS ANGELES AND BEYOND : Los Angeless indifference to its own history is infamous (and sometimes exaggerated)--we built a lot of brand new landmarks this decade, but we tore down a lot of old ones. Here is Curbed LAs Oscar-style montage of some of the ...

• My 2009 New Media Revolution

  
  Mediaite — Authority: 770
  It was just like most Sunday nights: I was procrastinating, reading about politics online. That night, I was checking out rising star Marco Rubio , who is challenging Gov. Charlie Crist for the Republican Florida Senate nomination Senate: his story, his policy proposals, and his advertisements. An ad criticizing ...

• The Decade’s 10 Most Dastardly Cybercrimes

  
  Threat Level — Authority: 727
  It was the decade of the mega-heist, when stolen credit card magstripe tracks became the pork bellies of a new underground marketplace, Eastern European hackers turned malware writing into an art, and a nasty new crop of purpose-driven computer worms struck dread in the heart of America. Now that the zero days are ...

• Welcome To 20-10

  
  Mediaite — Authority: 770
  I’m trying really hard this week to say “Twenty Ten.” When we do a story looking back at 2009, I typically say “Two Thousand Nine.” And when 2010 comes up in a script my first instinct is to continue the pattern and say “Two Thousand Ten.” But it’s time for a format change. There is, of course, no ...

  The Game Guy — Authority: 127
  Ah, New Year’s Eve. A time to look back on the past 365 days and promise to be a better person in the next 365. Or, if you’ve checked around the Web lately, a time to read list after list of “best” and “worst”…

  Has it Been Ten Years? SteveMs away during these crucial days during which people seem impelled to tell over the past ten years like worry beads.
