On Two Click Minimum: Splitsider Is Here
as a web developer and a waaaaaaay-too-avid reader, can i PLEASE suggest a bunch of improvements to your web platform? wordpress can be taken in such great directions with the right caresses... you guys need better logins, better comment tracking, more "of interest" connections (without being icky social media-ish), and you already have all the login info with the registered people!!

On The Way We Income Inequality Now
at least in other countries, people aren't so fucking alienated from one another. we're all poor here, and we have parking lots and metal in between us. at least elsewhere i can drink my shit beer in the street with others while the rich dump on me.

On The American Experiment on the Last Day of the War
please elaborate on my comprehension FAIL:
What we thought was a morally obvious situation turned out to be confusingly complex
who is the we here? the american people, the media, who? who thought it was morally obvious? was it assumed to be, not thought? if it was assumed to be, by whom and how do you know what? etc.

On The American Experiment on the Last Day of the War
this guy is really a tool and its sad to see him on theawl, though i guess every staff needs a dude that trots out the "freedom isn't free" line with his "sober" writing about the "reality" of the goods that americans enjoy, apparently with equal access (hahaha) just by virtue of living here, against the hysterics of the bogeyman lefties who want to preserve lives AND have conversations without ashcroft justice department listening in...

On The American Experiment on the Last Day of the War
the awl has gone thomas friedman - thanks!
at what point was the war "morally obvious" like you offer above? to anyone paying attention on its eve, it was a nightmare to begin with. not to mention the idea that all wars prey on the poor, enrich the rich and stabilize imperialism. none of these were unique to the iraq war.
to argue that warrantless wiretapping goes hand in hand with social security is so breathtakingly stupid, too - a program designed slowly but thoroughly to help those over a certain age has nothing to do with enormous corporations handing over technology and recording the thoughts of those who use it, without their knowledge. just tell the actual leftists and civil rights fighters of the 50s and 60s that they benefited as much from COINTELPRO as they did from civil rights legislation.
your ignorance is i suppose not your fault; in citing - or not citing - media and american socialization as you do, you fall into the same paternalistic trap we all do. and here you've managed to convince balk and sicha to fall for it. congrats!

On TED: Just Admit It
look guys, just because anya now knows about bugs in our moral code, it doesn't allow us to lifehack our solutions to her web2.0 responses. we have to be more creative, iron out those kinks and roll out a new trunk version of happiness and fiber, and continue to make money!

On Tiny Tiny Changes Happen to Website
yeah, nthing the font change thing. there's a reason long-form articles in newspapers, magazines, etc are in a serif font, its much easier for the eyes to read. if the awl fancies itself more of a long-form online rag, i think a shift to serif font is in your best interest.
