The YM Paid Intern Program is gearing up for the winter season and while we are not accepting applications this time around, there’s a search committee culling and weeding out the best prospects. So far, Lenore Beadsman has accepted and her first assignment was to write about Magnolia. Not really sure why.
AND NO, IT IS NOT DANGEROUS TO CONFUSE CHILDREN WITH ANGELS
Magnolia came out in...

distorte:
My tumblr has always had meta tags which dictate that it should never be crawled by search engines. My full name has never appeared on the site, nor do any external sites link to me with my full name. Any that have were contacted quickly and quickly reworded the link.
I work on the web. I used to think I understood Google fairly well. I could control my online presence. But I can’t...

I just visited Business Insider for the first time in about a year, maybe two. It just occurred to me: do media people ever feel like they have a professional duty — like a real professional duty, not wink wink grammar gotcha — to note when their brethren simply fall off the map of what is the most loose definition of credible? I mean, we saw the photos of Guardian folks glamming it up...

maura:
This is a bad thing how? God, it is so funny to watch people contort themselves into poses of “hipness” while holding up the same old-white-dude hierarchies.
It’s always amusing when people drag out Mailer’s corpse (there’s less misogyny in a Descendents album) when they’re all huffy with something in today’s Village Voice. As osmium said, “#1 thing I...

Guys, I didn’t mean that they were skewering only the OWS protesters, but more that they were skewering everyone involved—the 1%, the 99%, the 53%, the media, the police, etc.—and intended for the term to be a sort of all-encompassing one. Apologies if that didn’t translate.

“American reporters “like” covering a presidential campaign (it gets them out on the road, it has balloons, it has music, it is viewed as a big story, one that leads to the respect of one’s peers, to the Sunday shows, to lecture fees and often to Washington), which is why there has developed among those who do it so arresting an enthusiasm for overlooking the contradictions inherent...
Dear Candidate for Congress ...
lessig:
Thanks for your call, which I am sorry I was not able to accept. But after many too many contributions to candidates for Congress, I have adopted an absolute rule:
I will not consider making a contribution to your campaign for Congress unless you commit absolutely and prominently to support reforms to end the corrupting influence of money in Congress.

THE ANSWER IS NONE. HE WAS A FUCKING PUPPET. JESUS FUCKING STRAWMAN.
