Tyler Coates: online dating is a diabolic machine →
maura:
I woke up thinking about the Gizmodo piece by that woman who went out on two dates with the Magic the Gathering champ then wrote about how she, like, couldn’t believe that he was such a dork and that he didn’t even mention that on his OKCupid profile. I guess one point in her favor…
This online dating story makes me sad for many reasons, but of course the big one is that I love...

Meetings I don’t really care about just give me a chance to practice my comic book lettering.

Man, spotify is great. I fell asleep to Azure Ray last night. Hold on Love pretty much got me through Semester at Sea. Lots of staring at the ocean or the plains of Africa while listening on my discman. That’s sort of emo, huh.

The above sentence is the most offensive thing I have read in WEEKS. Oh, TRUST that I have already emailed Katie Baker about this. I hope those of you born between 1980 and 1982 now understand how those of us born in 1983 feel about being UNFAIRLY and INCORRECTLY associated with the Millennial generation, which is BULLSHIT because the cut-off date is 1984, OBVIOUSLY.

Here he’s saying that “Ratatouille” was a bad idea that was executed perfectly, but most movies today are focused too much on marketability. That is, producers don’t care so much about the story,...
