one hundred yen lite

I know it’s hard for you to believe it, sweetheart, but the media industry actually is bigger than Nick Denton’s head.

caro:

I finally got around to reading this awkward little piece by a bright but naive blogger who seems to believe that in order to be part of “New York media” you have to socialize with an abhorrent set of people who will fawn over Keith Gessen and Emily Gould in person and then go right back to their keyboards and start tapping out hatespeech, fan themselves from the summer humidity with their Ivy League degrees while prancing about in their American Apparel underpants to “Oxford Comma,” and hang out exclusively at OMG BROOKLYN HIPSTER PARTIES AT BROWNSTONES OWNED BY CLUELESS PARENTS!!! AND THE COCAINE FLIES LIKE CONFETTI!!!! If you do not subject yourself to the aforementioned, you clearly cannot be a writer in New York and you will never, ever, ever make on this cruel IFC reality show of an island.

I can’t describe how awesome that is :)
