I love New York, I really do. But The Gawker seems to represent everything I hated about the East Coast: smug, elitist, mean-spirited. On Monday, it had a post that listed events at an anarchist bookstore in the city, with comments from the editor noting, "Wine tastings are great. Knitting is great. And foam wire hats are exceptionally thrilling. But I must be missing something. I don't get the Anarchist angle." Um, its anarchist because their engaging culture in ways outside consumer capitalism. Like, duh, if you're knitting a scarf yourself you're being more self-sufficient than if you bought one. But she probably knows that and it playing dumb for rhetorical effect. I suppose the editor might be the social-irresponsibility Burberry type, so knitting one herself might be far, far outside her world-view.
Does anyone have a clue why there would be no "permanent link to this entry on Gawker? I saw this joint on Monday, but I waited until it neared the bottom, when I could easily count the number of entries, working from the archived entries' links. (I think that made sense.)
