Sorry but no...

One of the wonders of the medium of the internet is that it has brought forth a new style of writing via a platform for previously unheard voices, a topic which I need to come back to. What I don't understand, and clearly what the monoliths of "old media" don't understand, is that old media isn't just failing because of the internet but also because it's formulas and ways of being are tired and often no longer relevant. So I don't understand magazines that simply put their vehicles online as they already are. And now a new site Crushable from Elizabeth Spiers the original editor of Gawker, I would have imagined she would have known better. But no, here it is again, another version of the same old tired women's magazine. Features on "Dress in pink for a week"? No. No way, no how, get outta here, you are not of this time.

Do not agree

From Joan Didion's Goodbye To All That, and essay which I love but see the fault of youth in, she writes "the way you love the first person who ever touches you and you never love anyone quite that way again." No not true, the guff of your first love will always be your biggest is garbage, and is only uttered by someone who hasn't loved much or settled down young.
