This is factually wrong. Based on the actual definition of generational cohorts, "millenials" are the generation subsequent to Generation X, and are commonly defined as starting either with birth year 1982, or high school graduation year 2001, depending on the source.

Yep! Amazingly, it didn't stop me from expressing my opinion though (and, more tellingly, it didn't stop you from responding to it).

Well, okay. But that's a circular argument. If you had a regular column in New York Magazine, with millions of hits for every article you wrote, then people would care about your opinions too.

You're inferring a lot of qualities onto Chait's piece (like smarminess, unconsiderateness, supposedly demanding that you shut…

Install F.lux for late working/reading. Too much blue light late at night will disrupt your sleep cycles.

Paul McCartney's your niece? That's pretty neat.

Paul McCartney is not a "she"

That's ridiculous. Everyone knows Paul McCartney was in a band called The Wings.

Would you have said the same thing to the white Mississippi freedom riders? They were good white people, too, and they paid the ultimate price for their decision to stand up for justice. Or the straight folk who mourned the death of Matthew Shepard? Or the men who fight for equal pay for women? Or the able-bodied…

I thought it was a wonderful piece, but I sincerely doubt that most good white people—or at least the good white people who run in my circles—believe that they "deserve a fucking prize." I think they're expressing empathy.

I guess the question is "How can white people be supportive of the issue without seeming to demean or take over the issue? " If white people don't talk talk about what they do in the situation, then the narrative is that white people are ignoring the issue (which so many do). If white people talk about the issue,…

My impression was that the hashtag isn't for educating black people about how nice the cops are to white people, but educating fellow white people on their own hypocrisy. It's a lot harder to say that these murdered black men were thugs and criminals who "got what they deserved" when white people admit to the same…

I'm sorry but this is bullshit. If you heard probably 99% of the pop stars these days sing live "unplugged" with no reverb or accompaniment I doubt it would be much better. Beyonce can't sing half as well. Mariah has some def vocal problems, wear and tear from all the riffing and over singing, but this is unfair…

God, it's Rio de Janeiro all over again.

Dear Anna:

You would be glad to see that the Washington Post yesterday published an update in which it confirmed that Ms. Erdely did not talk to the accusers. As you have a Masters in Journalism from Columbia University, I am sure you will remember the introductory classes in which you were told to at least try to…

A lot of people found this offensive back in the old days. They probably still do. Fuck 'em.

Regular karaoke bars suck. Karaoke bars with private rooms (BYOB and BYOD) are fucking awesome.

As a physicist, I have some strong opinions about philosophy. This article lists 5 points glorifying philosophy, but where is the evidence for their veracity? And who the hell are 'we' in those 5 listed points? I know lot of non-philosophers ask big questions and actually contribute some thing tangible to the greater…
