Sorry the entire world can’t all be done in stark Eurotrash Swiss type. Sorry some people like to have fun. Sorry I’m standing in the way of your minimalist Bauhaus-esque fascist snoozefest. Maybe sometime you should take off your black turtleneck, stop compulsively adjusting your Tumblr theme, and lighten the fuck up for once. Timothy McSweeney’s Internet Tendency: I’m Comic Sans, Asshole. A piece of absolute genius.

An incredible set of maps showing the differences between photo-taking habits of tourists versus locals, as analysed through geotagging data (the map above is London).  These ‘heat maps’ are the first visual example I’ve seen of the segregation of most major modern cities into Touristlands that are instantly recognisable from films, television and books and the rest of it where the vast majority of people actually live.  Absolutely fascinating.  Found via The Morning News.
