http://i.imgur.com/2VpCfH4.png

hes for sure not a menswear blogger folks

Looks like Jesse Thorn if he let himself go.

looks like dom p landed on his feet

lol i guess i'll do the honors

http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/26/5348212/ezra-klein-vox-is-our-next

now you don't have to choose

damn yglesias is a principal in this he just sat around blogging while Klein was doing all the hard work building his brand lol

explanatory journalism is kinda an interesting concept curious to see to what extent its a real or different thing u can do

They started out calling it Bono Vox but then they shortened it.

"we're founding" = I wish I knew how much capital each of the "principals' put up

lol at every commenter on that verge piece being all who tf are these people

yeah, 'i googled this guy and turns out there's a wikipedia page on him already'

http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2014/02/chipotle_and_economic_destiny_it_s_time_to_take_fast_food_seriously.html

over the course of my time as Slate’s Moneybox correspondent, I’ve frequently had occasion to write about the fast-food sector. Chipotle, especially, but also Chopt and Taco Bell and KFC. To some, this has become an object of fun. Why is this guy writing so much about fast food when there are so many real economic issues in the world? The answer is simple. Fast food is an important issue. If you want an image of the future, imagine a burrito stomping on a human face—forever.

omg

lmao

@mattyglesias: My final Slate column will deal with the relationship between fast casual burritos and neoliberalism.

@mattyglesias: Help! I have nowhere to blog.

Think about it.

Last time I went this long without blogging, I was 20 and hand-coding HTML files.

man loves to blog

everyone, back-up and give matthew yglesias room to blog

no vox thread so here we are

http://vox.com

haven't had a chance to read this yet: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/07/business/media/voxcom-takes-melding-of-journalism-and-technology-to-next-level.html

it's too bad there's no general vox media thread either, because ppl on the verge's forums have been going nuts and stuff has been happening over there

not that most people on ilx give a shit

journalists in my fb feed are really annoyed at the unanimous positive coverage vox has been getting

it is a v pretty website

i think the front page is kinda ugly

u shndt have to "launch cards" why cant u just scroll through them on the bottom of the page, and then when you do launch it overlays the page except that not really clear except a lil exit button

swear I've seen a site with a similar graphical layout, but it was a few years back
the name vox irritates me

i actually like those launch-cards, but yeah, you should have the option to scroll thru them if that's yr preference.

Ezra Klein’s first big piece for his new venture (heretofore known as Project X) at Vox is on a topic that quite naturally worries the former Wonkblogger: the limits of evidence-based reasoning when it conflicts with political allegiances increasingly based on polarized ideologies.

Klein will almost certainly get some blowback from progressives for projecting a false equivalency of Left and Right in exhibiting “identity protection” in the face of inconvenient evidence,

it's just too much it's all jumping out at me, i just want words

hamlet would be appalled

max, good looking out
