As fast as you can? Didn't you say something about promising maximum impact for the source?

judging by your username, you still have a long road of self-discovery ahead of you.

Quick question. Why does that administration still cling to the name "reddits" when the community almost exclusively calls them "subreddits"? GET WITH THE TIMES, OLD MAN.

Would you mind describing the time between the car coming toward you and the hospital? How long until the ambulance showed up? What was the reaction of those around you?

Also, I'm sorry that that's your memory of Boulder! I'm born and raised, lived there til 23. Hopefully you get the chance to go back and hike up to the Royal Arch or something with your new prosthetic!

This is an interesting question, and I hope Mr. Fallows answers it.

The Atlantic and The New Yorker are the only two magazines I subscribe to because they haven't abandoned long-form journalism, and consistently demonstrate faith in their readership's attention span and intellect. The Atlantic Wire, on the other hand, strikes me as a dumping ground for the water cooler stories that they don't want ending up in the magazine, which I think is actually a pretty smart move. It lets them keep up with the day-to-day news while reserving the print publication for the "bigger picture" stories—those with at least month-long importance.

... that being said, this month's magazine involved writer Wayne Curtis trying to get fucked up on Nutmeg. If that's not Gawkerish, I don't know what is. But it's in sprinkles throughout the magazine, which I actually love.
