RAM JAM OVER JON JON PITS CHOIRE AGAINST KEITH
SICHA:
Inexplicable east coast elite media obsession and former assistant Jon-Jon Goulian—”another of the season’s publishing darlings”! “the cross-dressing literary sensation”! “a kind of mascot for the city’s literary A-list”! says the New York Times, inthree different articles, apart from his memoir’s two reviews in the paper—is apparently a...

Overheard: ”When are they going to do the Angry Birds theme?”
This killed me, and is possibly the funniest thing written about this group to date. Especially if you remember what the Angry Birds theme is.
These guys are such assholes. Maura, you’ll enjoy this. Homeboy came into one of my BlackBook comment threads and went off way back when, and gave me one of my favorite...

Soup: My Father, the Entrepreneur →
thingsthatscarelaurenleto:
One time I had a meeting with someone who asked about my father’s profession. “He owns a construction company,” I said. To which they said, “he’s an entrepreneur” implying I didn’t realize that my father and I were cut from the same cloth. It was slightly condescending, like a “didyouknowconstructionworkersarejustlikeus?” and it kind of perfectly embodies what I...

How Divorce Lost Its Groove →
Or as the Metatitle puts it, How Divorce Lost Its Cache. Too many things wrong with this awful thing to start in now, but enjoy this for the time being:
“It could be that among college-educated couples, the men are behaving better and the wives aren’t as interested in getting out,” said Andrew Hacker, a professor emeritus at Queens College who has written frequently about social currents....

Apologies if you’re getting weird inquiries from me about buying prescription drugs. This isn’t high school, and I don’t have any somas to offer you. What I do have is: Looks like a spambot got ahold of my account and is spamming people with questions. Sorry, friends. Please let me know if you continue to get them. -f.

On the matter of Brian Stelter…
SORKIN: I’m glad to hear he’s a decent guy who has the respect of his co-workers. So then I’ll speak to this idea more generally: I know when I read something in The New York Times that whoever wrote it had to be very good to get the job that they have. But I don’t know anything about the person who is blogging online. It’s an easy job to get. Anybody can...

In The Bellevue Literary Review, in an essay called “By My Own Hand,” Anita Darcel Taylor writes about her bipolar illness and...
