Well, if that intersection existed, you might see more cyclists there!
(I know, I know - he means “either” on Ninth or on Grand.)
20 cyclists an hour is… not bad. If he checked the West Side path a couple blocks away from Ninth Avenue, he’d see many more cyclists. As for the Grand Street…

RAGE OFF: WTC Mosque vs. Harlem Target!
My masters in the all-powerful MSM wish me to point out that it’s not a mosque, it’s an Islamic cultural center, and it’s to be on Park Row, a quarter mile from the WTC, which is further than most real Americans are willing to walk from their parked cars.
This Is a Pretty Good List
No David Owen or Charlie Haas, but still…

Wow, this is great. I’m basically reblogging it specifically for my friend Will (and also for myself.) PS: Not that it isn’t one of the best, but it’s some bulllllllsheeeeeit that “Federer as a Religious Experience” has so many more stars than “The String Theory”. GO READ THE STRING THEORY, EVERYONE. READ IT NOW. (via...
Cohen Vs. Skurnick, Round Two
lindsayrobertson:
Oooh, now this is a slow-new-summer internet fight I can really get into. I don’t even need to specify my team.
Oh, who to root for? He has the same name as me, but she lives in the same town, and New Jersey is so hot right now. He’s bald and wrong, so: Go Team Skurnick.
This Andrew Cohen Sounds Like a Real Jerk
julieklausner:
“A kinder colleague than I suggested that his column was the equivalent of Dustin Hoffman, in “The Graduate,” running into the church to yell, “Elaine!” I humbly submit that his wedding day appreciation is in fact the equivalent of Andrew Cohen running into the church and yelling, “Andrew!””

On the street yesterday, I walked by a man who had on a gorgeous outfit. Everything about it was perfect, it had a very awesome_old_man_in_europe vibe. I walked by and stared at him. “I love your outfit,” spilled out of my mouth. He looked behind himself, then looked at me again, a smile cracking his face. “Yah, yours” I said. “It’s amazing.”
He lit up....

shutupweirdo:
Shamefully, there is no mention of either WFMU or Shut Up, Weirdo or even Jersey City. Oh, and scrapple is more of a Pennsylvania thing. What the hell, Newsweek? Don’t you have people to check things like that?

What It's Really Like To Be A Copy Editor →
givemesomethingtoread:
I never necessarily aspired to be a copy editor. I enjoyed the experience—seriously, your job is to sit and read articles—but when my day-camp counselor asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I did not tell her that I hoped one day to correct who-whom mix-ups or determine whether “faucetry” was a real, dictionary-approved word. I told her I wanted to be a...
