"I, too, exhibit ironic tendencies. For example, I find it difficult to give sincere gifts. Instead, I often give what in the past would have been accepted only at a White Elephant gift exchange: a kitschy painting from a thrift store, a coffee mug with flashy images of “Texas, the Lone Star State,” plastic Mexican wrestler figures. Good for a chuckle in the moment, but worth little in the long term. Something about the responsibility of choosing a personal, meaningful gift for a friend feels too intimate, too momentous. I somehow cannot bear the thought of a friend disliking a gift I’d chosen with sincerity. The simple act of noticing my self-defensive behavior has made me think deeply about how potentially toxic ironic posturing could be." - Tudor Bosman

Read, this is good. - Tudor Bosman

"New Sincerity has recently been associated with the writing of David Foster Wallace, the films of Wes Anderson and the music of Cat Power." Both DFW and Wes Anderson have been thoroughly embraced by the ironic, hipster culture -- which is, shall I say, ironic. - Tudor Bosman

Shit happens. - Brian Johns

If it weren't for kids tv, *I'd* be ruined, lol. - Melly #FForever

Too late! - Louis Gray

They can say what they want, and the food could be as good a crack, I've seen the side of the owners and don't want to support them in anyway. I only hope they do some good to counter the negativity they have brought out. - CW
