Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's gotten mushy-headed, right?
I've never read it regularly. I've always like they got attention through wild misrepresentations and deliberately outrageous opinion pieces. Which is probably unfair, but I never saw anything that made me want to delve into it.
But lately the basic quality of the writing pains me. Maybe that's just Kevin Berger, though. Or his editor. I think when he's done there will be no commas left for anyone else.
A friend of mine worked as an editor for Salon ages ago. There was a mass exodus of what sounded like bitter editorial staff at one point, and that's when she left. I don't recall what prompted it. For all I know, the dot-com crash.
Well, at least there's SOME thought here:
In 2005, two University of Michigan scientists concluded that if your wife has a job earning more than $15 an hour (roughly $30,000 a year), she will do 1.9 hours less housework a week. Of course, this can be solved if the husband picks up a broom.
There was a period when Salon was worth paying for, right around the time we Went To War and all that.
Now, it's not usually even worth me clicking through an ad.
I know, Vortex, can you believe? I thought it was a joke at first.

Yeah, that Survivor thing is bananas. They had to recruit like 80% of the contestants, so there are a ton of actors etc.
Sometimes google is just not the right idea. t /random
