This thing Emily wrote is the most straightforwardly awesome thing ever! I love it unconditionally. Unrelated? I also enjoy Keith Gessen's post on "the underground." And? I like all this too! God, I left the internet for three hours to drive down Long Island and the internet got AWESOME AGAIN. Now I can have weekend!





Gah, why is everyone off the internet right now? Why is no one here to share this moment with me?

I'm here! Rescuing you right back!

LET ME IN

Am I too late to save Choire?

Can I at least wail dramatically over his corpse?

Re: Emily's piece, it's the first time I've seen someone defend themselves in a blog without looking more pathetic than their attacker. I didn't think it could be done.

I even found myself liking Keith Gessen for a minute. Clearly July 4th is a time of healing.

Little Brown should give emily a million dollars for that post.

I'm just writing in, late, as per usual, to say I hate people who say "as per usual," and that even Choire's commas stop my periods.

And I love everyone, too.
