How can anyone who writes about New York City for a living still refer to waterfront Williamsburg as "the land of D.I.Y."? You might as well call the West Village "the land of folkies."

Love that caption on the pool pic. It's just like Miami! Except for the weather, the music, and the people.

This waterfront scourge must be stopped
I feel like that and the Times article a couple years ago about how it supposedly became *trendy* to have a gut make nice bookends to Williamsburg's late period.
― Will Chave (Hurting 2), Friday, 20 July 2012 20:01 (eleven years ago) link
I hopped on that trend, not hopping back off

Also saltwater pools are kind of amazing. I don't know anything about this "Wythe" or "New York City" though.

in re george soros' kid. sure there are problems involved with growing up with great wealth. everybody has problems. this is not a worthwhile revelation. in his case, in being also yojng and apparently as healthy as most people his age, his problems are all pretty low hurdles to get over.

She recalled the confusion on the face of the manager at the East Village sandwich shop where she was working at the time when she told him that she needed a book leave and that she was moving back to her parents’ house in New Jersey. “He was like, ‘O.K., whatever,’ ” she said.
if anyone in any context said the words 'i need a book leave' the only appropriate response is 'O.K., whatever,' tbh

it is so hard to picture these being generated outside of a sandwich shop, numbed by a shift, reduced to just voicing fleeting thoughts with whatever stationery was available. i can't imagine being on book leave, at a desk, with a coffee cooling and a sharpened pencil & then drawing these.

wait she asked for "book leave" at a fucking SANDWICH SHOP

ha ha. i feel really bad being biting about this, i looked through some more, they are just bad. they seem very lazily calculated though. i know this is obvious but it is a weird counterpart to a bunch of the charges levied against lena dunham, in that some of the specifics are very similar just w/the quality of the work being infinitely lower.
