"Squalid!" screamed the Archduke. "I love it!"

Apparently Archduke Ferdinand was a hipster. This is the kind of Pynchonian historical fiction revelation which I instantly incorporate into actual history. From this day forward, whenever I see a picture of Archduke Ferdinand with that huge hipster mustache, I'll think about what a scenester he was based on actual historical evidence. You can try to tap me on the shoulder and clear your throat and say, "You do remember Pynchon writes fiction, don't you?" But I'll only slap your hand away and scream, "I live in my own reality just as we all do but the only difference is that I embrace it, you fool of a Took!"
