- McSweeney's Internet Tendency, which goes by a variety of other names ("Timothy McSweeney's Blind Bastard Child Will Be President Someday", "Timothy McSweeney Goes Through The Stages of Grief for Every Lost Hour"), is the digital version of Timothy McSweeney's Quarterly Concern. What the two publications share in content, I don't know. I've never read Timothy McSweeney's Quarterly Concern, though I understand it is unwieldy and rambling. The web site is just rambling. Within its pages you'll find a mishmash of articles, lists, and indefinable bits and pieces of flotsam and jetsam. Mostly jetsam.
