On What They're Saying About The Awl

Nothing wrong with the design except for the forced justification, which makes it kinda painful to read anything longer than two short grafs.

Justify right, please! Otherwise, don't change a thing!

On Person with twice-weekly column feels no need to provide instant updates

Well, if I were to begin considering the relative value of a microblogging service and the first mention of content from said service involved the words "Jake," "Tapper," "spewing," "brown," and "shower," I'd be all, yeah, no thanks.

Shit, I couldn't even make it through this whole piece because I couldn't keep my damn place as I scrolled. It would be so awesome if you guys could lose the forced-justification. It's fine on the short, single-page, ATF pieces, but a typographic rag would help locate one's place vertically on the longer, scrolling jobs.

Or maybe I couldn't get through it because it was so frustrating to watch the author attempt -- in vain -- to wrestle his resentment (and rage?) into a meaningful piece of cultural criticism.

I guess it was probably both of those things.
