these days in Tabs: Grin and ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ It

2014 is over and nobody will miss it, particularly not Eric Meyer thanks in part to fb. It used to be the yr we finally discovered what’s updog, and it was once in quite a lot of ways the year of Vox, for higher or worse. I for sure made some mistakes in 2014, however as a minimum I didn’t write this.

prior to we leave 2014 at the back of ceaselessly, mutually pretending it never even existed, like some kind of thirteenth floor of the 21st century, let’s just wrap up a pair things. the new Republic Take-stravaganza finally ended (as far as I’m involved) with Andrew Sullivan invoking a simply Asking Questions safeguard of his tenure as TNR editor, and being comprehensively clowned through both Jeet Heer and Ta-Nehisi Coates, neither of whom even stricken to depart Twitter to do it. And the lid of the tomb was once ponderously slid into position through David A. Bell, who used to be a TNR intern for twelve months 30 years in the past, and subsequently merited four,000 phrases in the LA overview of Books. I misplaced awareness right through his recap of all the historical past of magazines, so who is aware of how it all grew to become out. that is it. this is the final Take. We’re accomplished with TNR now.

Serial’s Jay talked to Natasha Vargas-Cooper, in three parts and, neatly, “the reason this is so vital is for two reasons: I don’t know, and… I don’t understand.” most important Kurson went in-depth on how NVC acquired the interview (spoiler: she knew somebody who knew Jay’s lawyer).

And eventually, The Interview got here out, and it used to be horrific which needless to say as a result of Rolling Stone loved it and Emily Yoshida hated it. Seth Rogen was once no longer happy with that Verge evaluation, which: LOL. despite the fact that North Korea undoubtedly didn’t hack Sony, we’re gonna hit them with some more sanctions anyway, for the reason that obviously our sanctions are hurting the correct individuals in North Korea.

That’s it! 2014 is over! The world didn’t end and now we handiest have to get via six months of actual iciness and continue to exist top Caucasity. The Dan Lyons Valleywag started with some pretty stable predictions for the approaching 12 months, and Laura Olin has a first take a look at the ( ⧉ ⦣ ⧉ )s you’ll be ╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭ing at in 2015. This year will see the top of legal tiger selfies in new york, even supposing not, i’m hoping, the tip of criminal :fire: selfies. additionally: David Carr fell asleep beneath the Take Tree and dreamed that selfie sticks by some means ended journalism. Timothy B. Lee says 2015 shall be a “make-or-break 12 months for Bitcoin,” and if you happen to imagine that i’ve a unnecessary string of digits I’d prefer to sell you. but perhaps most discouragingly, 2015 appears to be the 12 months we now have to handle Madonna once more.
