My 15 yo HS sophomore shared that he had to get 700 words to his editor by midnight if wanted to make upcoming edition of school newspaper. Only had 200 done "but interviewed the coach so that's good for another 200 and then I'll just wrap it up."
So. Proud.

Poll on a boring issue my husband (also a lawyer, not a litigator) and I have been bickering about:
You get a ticket for doing X. The only evidence that you did X is an affidavit by a random person saying they saw you do X.
Should the affidavit be sufficient?

I think I’m infected — enoki mushrooms growing out of my mouth and other orifices — but instead of running around biting people I feel the urge to take naps and teach MFA students. Is this a new “humanities” strain? If I turn into a “monster” will I still remain tenured?

The spacious 3 bed/2 bath rental I used to live in with my 3 kids in Washington Heights now rents for $4k. If you want to live on the UWS or Soho, that's going to cost you. But you don't *have* to pay $10k a month to live here. You're *choosing* to.

NEW: Rents in Manhattan have just broken another astounding record. Avg monthly rent: * Overall: $5,142 * Studios: $3,152 * 1 bed: $4,247 * 2 bed: $6,193 * 3 bed: $10,058 We DESPERATELY need to address the affordability crisis. (And memo to the haters: Yes NYC is coming back)

Can we, and by that I mean EVERYONE, please stop talking about her and maybe instead focus more on James Baldwin in Paris? Ya know, which was real and more meaningful.
