The Middle Ages: 53
This story of the (middle-aged) Williamsburg hipster-hater who was sentenced to Rikers is pretty LOL. It's the comments I'm interested in, though: I, too, am confused about IDrewAPony's point and misguided logic–53 feels classically middle-aged […]

Let’s Sweat the Small(ey) Stuff
Sometimes I feel dumb because I often don't get literary references, and don't really know my critical theorists or philosophers. No one's stopping me from looking them up, this slice of the world is just […]
