Jun 29, 11:19PM
All is well in McMansion Hell, the blog doing god’s work by sassing the hideous architecture on display in our otherwise pleasant suburbs.

Netflix, it had seemed, was the place where shows go to live again, not to die.

Jun 29, 9:00PM
It is time to have a serious conversation about the limits of choice architecture online.
