The term "Twitscape" is an invention of Jon Stewart and his staff, and I hope it catches on! Anyone copyright it yet?

jzhang07 Finished Adam Gopnik's Angels and Ages. A really good & fun book and reads like a 200 page New Yorker article.

jasonjsiu @jzhang07 200 pages of the new yorker is not my idea of fun...

falameufilho wired magazine is like the new yorker and vanity fair mated and had a retarded son

odeisel sometimes a cover is just a cover. Please stop overreacting to everything. The Michelle Obama New Yorker cover is fine. Christ

Thandelike if the new yorker mag goes under i will know the world has truly changed. damn those reluctant advertisers of canoes and cat bracelets

janetmock Once again surprised by a long ass profile in the New Yorker that I was initially not going to read; it was on writer-director Tony Gilroy

davidlebovitz If someone could come over and read the stack of New Yorkers on my coffee table, then summarize them for me, that'd be great.

theveggiequeen @davidlebovitz Maybe you can get George Bush's reader to it, now that he or she is out of a job. You want New Yorker Cliff Notes?

heidiharu "I want someone whose inner pain is totally hot," Thank you, The New Yorker. [Hint]

melissagira I never thought of the place my parents lived when I was first born as "a run-down section of Boston." Thanks, page 53 of the New Yorker.

martinjen Just read the new yorker and kinda wishing I was a Van Dyke.

ksauer7 Thank you, New Yorker, for your insight on similes. You're as inconspicuous as a tarantula on a slice of angel-food cake.
