I feel like all these NYT columnists would gain far more fulfillment out of life if they were simply processed into raw materials and reconstituted into squirrels or something. Think of how many squirrels or chipmunks you could create from one millionaire.

Do not mulch NYT columnists, they are treasures. Also the bad ones will be reincarnated as Canada geese.

That's the one.

quote:

When the lockdown started in March 2020, my husband and I decided to quarantine with our two youngest children, then 15 and 12, at our house on Martha’s Vineyard. We arrived on March 15 and settled in for a long stay, unpacking sweaters and boots, textbooks and cellos.

....

A week later, on March 22, at 6 a.m., my husband told me he wanted a divorce. He packed a bag, got in his Jeep and boarded a ferry.

Also:

quote:

We met at a corporate law firm where he was a senior associate, and I was a junior associate assigned to his group in my second year. He was a great lawyer with a quick mind, able to supervise a dozen deals at a time, thoughtful and methodical in his left-handed markups of legal documents. He was tall, blonde and lean, a similar silhouette to my father. He wore suits and rolled up his shirt sleeves as he worked. He was a grown-up.

When he walked into my office, shut the door and kissed me, I was done for.

great stuff all the way through

i liked the one where some lady was writing on behalf of a friend's son who was "cancelled" by his high school because he spread nude pictures of his ex around his social circle

I think that was in NYMag. I think all the <city>magazines are kind of lodestones for these kinds of articles, like LA Mag did a sympathetic profile of a lady (Rebecca Grossman) who ran over a couple of kids while drunk racing her affair partner

These stories are very telling in terms of who elite journalists and editors have empathy for. Rich heiress is dumped by rich husband in mid life crisis? Full page editorial. Rich lady runs over kids driving home drunk? Sympathetic profile.

Obama gets to hang out with people at Martha's Vineyard and he's as (if not moreso since he was President) abhorrent, so Dersh's got a point. :haibrow:

He was intent on marrying me within weeks of that kiss, pledging to take care of me, to step into my dead father’s role as my protector. And we did marry, within the year, both of us (I still believe) very much in love.

peak nyt for me is still that pamela paul column that was like

‘the trouble with coddled campus activists is that they live in echo chambers without hearing dissenting voices. when I was married to brett stephens, he often debated my views on politics, to the extent that i would break down crying in public. young people today just can’t take robust intellectual challenges like that.’
