Responses to people who give a shit about...
A post I wrote yesterday in The Tangential, “Does it matter that no one gives a shit about classical music?”, has provoked some fiery responses. Here are my answers to a few of the commenters’ arguments. Too bad you hate classical music; don’t presume everyone else does too.  Actually, I like classical music quite a lot—I have, contrary to the presumption of some commenters,...

MCST 294-03: Can't learn from a video game? WHY OF... →
mcst294-03: Coincidentally, as I was scrolling through my newsfeed this afternoon, I came across this game: http://greatgatsbygame.com/ (be warned, it’s addictive). It’s old-looking, very crude graphics. And while it’s not educational in the slightest (unless you consider mastering the art of pressing the…

The Tangential: Does It Matter That No One Gives a... →
12 notes from 90,000 followers amounts to a colossal Tumblr *shrug*, which pretty much confirms my point. Meanwhile, over on Facebook, some Baby Boomers are up in arms. thetangential: Minneapolis likes to compare itself defensively to New York, which makes it all the more poignant that James Oestreich of the New York Times has just published a pained essay calling Minneapolis a “great...

“I’ve decided to take my journalism skills and use the Empower Network...”
– An e-mail I just received from someone who also probably has some seaside wi-fi in Arizona to sell me.

Arts Orbit: "Iron Man 3" punches the clock →
artsorbit: You can see what they were thinking with Iron Man 3. After the escalating robotic carnage of the first two films in the franchise, followed by the grand fracas of The Avengers—in which Iron Man went through a wormhole to another part of the universe, then plopped back down to the pavement… I felt pretty meh about Iron Man 3.

MCST 294-03: Brother is a pimp →
mcst294-03: My little brother is a womanizer and he doesn’t even know it.
