In the New Yorker...

As usual I'm behind in my reading, but anyone who has not read Andrew Marantz's article on Reddit in the March 19 issue, I highly recommend it.

The latest issue arrived today and I have read half of it already, online. Watch out for the Reddit story. Be prepared for a look into the obscene world of online trolling:

Yes, I agree.
Jeff Wrangler:
I posted the following on my blog, but I think it kind of applies to The New Yorker thread, too.
--- Quote ---Unquestionably the best thing that happened was that I was actually able to speak briefly with Corella himself. I thanked him for programming two of the classical story ballets a season and in general for where he has taken the company. I also embarrassed him a bit. I told him that I had a photo from The New Yorker (from 1999) that featured four dancers from A.B.T. Three of the company's male stars were in the foreground, and in the rear was a certain very young guy perched on the mantle of a fireplace. He looked a bit shocked and said he would like to see that photo, so I'm going to send it to him early next week.

I really need to read carefully. For one shocking moment I thought that said "Love Simon Kissing Erection."
