Synopsis:

Featuring way too many forewords, including one by Jake Tapper

It's a great undertaking to raise a humor website from infancy to full-fledged adulthood, but with the right editors, impeccable taste, and a dire political landscape, your site will enjoy years of relevance and comic validation. Join us as we revisit the first twenty-one years of McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, from our bright-eyed and bewildered early stages to our world-weary and bewildered recent days. Keep Scrolling Till You Feel Something is a coming-of-age celebration of the pioneering website, featuring brand-new pieces and classics by some of today's best humor writers, like Ellie Kemper, Wendy Molyneux, Jesse Eisenberg, Tim Carvell, Karen Chee, Colin Nissan, Megan Amram, John Moe, and many more.

Including:

• I Don’t Hate Women Candidates―I Just Hated Hillary and Coincidentally I’m Starting to Hate Elizabeth Warren
  
• It's Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers
  
• On the Implausibility of the Death Star's Trash Compactor
  
• The Only Thing That Can Stop This Asteroid is Your Liberal Arts Degree
  
• If Women Wrote Men the Way Men Write Women
  
• My Coming Out Story, Sponsored by Bank of America
  
• I Regret to Inform You That My Wedding to Captain Von Trapp Has Been Canceled
  
• Please Forgive Us at Blue Apron for This Week’s Meals. We’ve Been Having a Tough Time Lately
