    Look Out, America—Here Come Young People!

    Millennials! Who are they and what do they want from us? They Facebook their MySpaces all day and Twitter their iPhones all night, and they have terrible manners! Have they come to take us to a Home? Morley Safer investigated on last Sunday's 60 Minutes. [In a repeat, apparently!] The video of the segment is below the jump. It will terrify you! These kids have tattoos and still expect to hold jobs and there are 80 million of them. More »

    Wesleyan Students Are All Models!

    This weekend's New York Times magazine features a fashion shoot of Wesleyan students! It is amazing. A correspondent confesses: "I'm an alumna of what you call the most annoying liberal arts school in America, and I have to completely agree with you that Wesleyan is beyond ridiculous. I saw this and kind of totally like, shed a tear.

    No, Megahyped Indie 'Hannah Takes The Stairs' Is Not Good

    Two minutes or so into 'Hannah Takes The Stairs,' the little film that's had its proverbial shaggy haircut lovingly mussed by every critic under the sun, a dickish but clueless boss character announces to his employees that he's gonna "go check my email and update my blog and all that." Upon hearing this line, the entire audience of the 8 p.m. screening of the film at the IFC Center last night broke out in hearty laughter that sounded remarkably like 200 American Apparel-clad backs being self-patted simultaneously. Also, one person literally started applauding. If only I'd left then! More »

    Sam Rauch: Oberlin Grad, Williamsburg Loft-Dweller

    This afternoon, we received an email. It read:

    Dear Choire/Balk/Doree or whichever intern checks the emails—[Ed. Note: Actually, we all do!]

    As a total fucking cliche who attented both Trinity School (gasp!) and Oberlin College (where I majored in art history! And cinema studies! Oh no!) and who now lives in... wait for it... a bougie Williamsburg loft (for which my parents pay the rent, naturally), I must insist that you cease making fun of Oberlin immediately.
