Slavoj Zizek’s trash talk:

Temperatures are rising, the snow is melting, and now…everything is coming up garbage. Like Vivian Yee from The New York Times, you probably took note of the empty bags of chips and yesterday’s six-packs littering the sidewalk when you first stepped out earlier this week.
