The Stranger! Y'all, The Stranger used to be so cool. It was up there with The Village Voice, alternative newspapers I daydreamed about writing for when I was a kid.

Now it's sad, and kind of uptight and pearl-clutchy. This entire piece is fisking wealthy young people's etiquette like it's some philosophical cornerstone. This is like Anti-Oscar Wildean. He would have a field day with this woman.

She makes me think of Miss Brill, from the Ngaio Marsh story. Deluded and out of touch, scandalized by reality whenever it peeks through.

Yup, The Stranger. Get on the rape culture train, y'all.

The Stranger lives in Seattle. So sadly this is not surprising, but still pathetic. I notice there's no ability to comment. I haven't read it much online in years, but reading the comments used to be quite entertaining.
