Weirdness in MeFi land


Redwolf's Adventures on MetaFilter

After spending some time reading a MetaFilter post about author Emily Giffin and her latest book - "Can we just be kind and respectful to one another??". This really leads into weirdness, including the realization that some of the posters on MeFi have been moderately successful in media such as books and movies.

At this point, writing a coherent post no longer seems like it's worth doing, SOOOOooo
Frickin' Corey Ann's blog entry about her battle with Emily Giffin. Then, as something of a non-sequitur, the Wikipedia entry for Something Borrowed (film).
How this leads to BuzzFeed's Steve Martin: King of Social Media, I'll never know (yeah, it was a link in the comments, but does it have any real meaning?)
This XKCD comic clearly has implications for the Corey Ann-Emily Giffin feud.Author John Scalzi commented on the feud, too.
So did Nathan Caswell.

A bunch of advice columnists talked about being advice columnists.
