Today’s Extra-Painful Bit Of Copy
Yet there was a sense of underachievement at the tournament given the favorable draw for the United States, which departed after a second-round loss to Ghana with a sense of missed opportunity.

As a general rule, the propensity of non-bicyclists to give biking a try is inversely proportional to the average velocity of the bikers they see on the street. If you live in a city where women in wedge heels are steering their old steel bikes around their daily errand route, there’s really nothing intimidating or scary about the prospect of getting on a bike yourself. If it’s all...

See, the thing is, even if you’re NOT a cop, yelling at a cyclist who you just hit with the door you flung open into traffic is one of the worst things that you can do. For starters, the law is absolutely not on your side. Also, whatever you’ve seen other cyclists doing (the “you’re all...

I continue to be mystified. It’s better to work on wall street than to make food and think critically about where it comes from? It’s a cancerous tumor to hand make something delicious while caring about its environmental impact?

Awww yeah. NYC kitchens open LATE.

Ugh. Reminds me of my train ride home the other day on Amtrak. We had a long stop in Philadelphia and for a while I was the only one in my car, editing photos on my laptop. When people started filtering in, one of the first middle-aged business dudes immediately sat down in the seat in front of me (despite there being… oh… AN ENTIRE OPEN CAR and I was in the middle of the car fyi) and...

Just to fully iterate the concept: Tumblr photosets are special because they allow you to organize distinct images in a grid, correct? This is difficult to do otherwise.

I mean, yeah, you might get arrested for being framed… but seven months? And the linchpin of it was an illegal immigrant who could not provide concrete evidence of a robbery, while the suspect had a rock-solid alibi? And all the evidence came from this guy who, even in a third-party sober retelling, comes off completely as a clown? Anyway, that easy judgment she’ll win from the city...

A note for all the people who are now trying to jump onto the “Tumblr’s in trouble” bandwagon after months of politely disagreeing (or worse) with my assessment: I didn’t save seats for any of you, because, you know, kiss my ass, so just grab a side rail and hold on.

Right now the Tumblr braintrust is trying to schedule an emergency meeting to handle the fallout from SoupSoup quitting Tumblr. Attendance is required of all staff, except for David Karp, for whom meeting plans are nothing more than polite suggestions anyway.
