You don’t want to read that story by some middle-aged white dude that thinks women would be happier if they stopped reading books and started baking more, but the title is just so infuriating that you have to see what it’s all about. You don’t care about somebody getting a million dollar advance to write a memoir about how tough kindergarten was, but you just have to see what all the hullabaloo is about. You don’t want to give some 3000 word “think piece” on how Taylor Swift’s music and Ayn Rand’s ideas have a lot in common if you just listen, but you thought up such a snappy tweet about it that you just can’t help yourself. 

With that in mind, we’re decided to embrace this trend. Here’s a sneak preview of some of the articles you’ll see from us later in 2013.
