Have we ever gotten a definitive answer for who is watching this? My go-to answer is still blue-haired grandmothers who fall asleep watching Wheel of Fortune…

Well, look at all of you guys typing in Unicode and shit. You think you're too good for us old ASCII types, don't you!

The great thing about America is that we rarely bother with acute or grave accents. Rather, we treat everything as a garden-variety apostrophe.

Grumble grumble grumble.

I was once tricked into watching an episode of this series in which Ira Glass explained…I'm not sure that I remember, but it might have been something about blowjobs.

But don't you get it? That's what's WRONG with the average male.

It would be hard to describe as 'ecstasy and euphoria' the austere protestant faith in which I was raised. What you describe would only be one possible iteration of religious faith.

Because I'm slowly making it my thing to comment on superficial, non-{plot,theme}-related things in TV shows: it appears that Lena Dunham and Zoey Deschanel shop at the same iPhone-case bodega.

Hrm. Just realized that I'm the worst.

I wouldn't have imagined that A.V. Club would be picking up Sufjan's baton.

As someone who has previously complained about terrible fake cello playing in sitcoms (see: Leonard on TBBT), I feel it is my duty to cast judgment on this show as well.

Tweeting? Whatever. Tweeting e-mails from other people? More than a little bit weird and creepy.

I'm unwilling to believe that it's through sheer force of will.

Anyone who describes an actor (esp. Mr. TheBeef) as 'schooling' another actor probably needs to go back to his high school in the '90s and grow up again.

It is to my shame to admit that while I knew of Fun before they blew up, I harbored what might be considered unreasonable disdain for their music even without having heard it.

The article was also posted by the Center for Investigative Reporting who participated in its creation. I'm posting it here because it's much nicer to read than the Esquire format:

I have a friend (in his early 40s) who claims to buy guns (he "only" owns a few) because they hold their value.

I know that the genre is supposed to encompass those things that are maybe just a bit outside of the mainstream, but to me it has always suggested that that the music it describes isn't distinct enough to be described in any more specific terms.

It's a Disqus thing. It loads 200 comments at a time in one JSON object that also coincidentally contains all of the relevant data for users posting in that set of comments.
