Then, two tweets came in fairly quick succession. The first said that the “spill” was “contained within the building.” The second said that the building had been safely evacuated and “The fire department is on scene.”[…]</p> <p>This really sounds like the opening line of an updated version of the post-apocalyptic novel <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_Z" target="_blank"><em>World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War</em></a> or a plot point in Colson Whitehead’s <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Zone-One-Novel-Colson-Whitehead/dp/0385528078" target="_blank">Zone One</a></em>. There’s something chilling about, “Escape area if able to do so.” Escape? From what? And why wouldn’t I be able to? WHATS HAPPENING?!?!</p> <p>Ok, sorry. Carry on. I’m sure zombies aren’t closing in on Chicago or anywhere else.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://twitter.com/#!/IlliniAlert/status/207369729441140736" target="_blank">All clear, everybody.</a> Put those bug-out bags away.</p></blockquote>http://new.exacthumanscale.com/post/24008409297http://new.exacthumanscale.com/post/24008409297Tue, 29 May 2012 11:57:12 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4sn0qvdI91qa4oowo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://dimvisible.tumblr.com/post/24002743972/lte" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">dimvisible</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>LTE</p></blockquote>http://new.exacthumanscale.com/post/24007351467http://new.exacthumanscale.com/post/24007351467Tue, 29 May 2012 11:35:53 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4sp9dEBtX1qauujwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://deepseadiving.tumblr.com/post/24004941595/vito-acconci" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">deepseadiving</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>vito acconci.</p></blockquote>http://new.exacthumanscale.com/post/24007236688http://new.exacthumanscale.com/post/24007236688Tue, 29 May 2012 11:33:26 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4nakp4b5K1rnnnbeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://new.exacthumanscale.com/post/23982546714http://new.exacthumanscale.com/post/23982546714Mon, 28 May 2012 22:19:25 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2q4hs0tvv1qc1sduo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://new.exacthumanscale.com/post/23972830692http://new.exacthumanscale.com/post/23972830692Mon, 28 May 2012 19:22:52 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4rieacDWf1qzzim1o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://xsxtxaxtxixcxsxhxoxxx.tumblr.com/post/23972508176/ansiedad" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">xsxtxaxtxixcxsxhxoxxx</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>ansiedad</p></blockquote>http://new.exacthumanscale.com/post/23972805090http://new.exacthumanscale.com/post/23972805090Mon, 28 May 2012 19:22:30 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2v43eBjdi1qkhye9o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://forbiddenalleys.tumblr.com/post/23962673754" target="_blank">forbiddenalleys</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Hieronymus Bosch -
