"Issue 33 of McSweeney’s Quarterly will be a one-time only, Sunday-edition-sized newspaper—the San Francisco Panorama. It'll have news and sports and arts coverage, and comics (sixteen pages of glorious, full-color comics, from Chris Ware and Dan Clowes and Art Spiegelman and many others besides) and a magazine and a weekend guide, and will basically be an attempt to demonstrate all the great things print journalism can (still) do..." Yours as a PDF for $16. The shoreline between online and newsprint is a very interesting place at the moment. Wouldn't it be cool if McSweeney's to do a deal with newspaperclub.co.uk for UK distribution? - Roo Reynolds

"... It’s now possible for columnists and companies to hear what people are saying about them. That’s unnerving for columnists, not least because their opinions are now frequently challenged by people who know more than they do. Instead of responding like adults – correcting when they’ve made a mistake, engaging when someone raises a sensible point and defending themselves from false accusations – they are whining like children and dismissing technologies that they don’t understand. It’s not the complaints culture on Twitter that annoys me, it’s the complaints culture among columnists that is getting tiresome." - Roo Reynolds

"A mob fighting a good cause is still a mob. To fight back, you need to remember that although the internet age is hugely expanding the number of complaints, the old rules still apply. ... if someone says that you must think what they think, you ignore them." - Roo Reynolds
