The Morning News linked this morning to “The Scene Almost Staggers,” an essay in Lapham’s Quarterly about San Francisco. I read it eagerly because I’m supposed to be moving there (eek!) in 2011 and have been seeking justification. Loved this passage:
All the towns along the [Eastern] seaboard are now as alike as so many soldiers in a row. They think alike. They hope and...

New York Football Giants.
foralltheotherteams:
Yikes, fucking yikes. There are bad games, shitty games, and then there are games which make one physically uncomfortable. Today’s game between the Tennessee Titans and the New York Giants, and more specifically the Giants’ play in said game, belongs to that last category. For the sake of New York Giants’ fans in the tri-state area, i’ll save you the burden of going in...

Dude, ADRIAN CHEN GOT STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
After walking around the block four times to calm down (I figured it was as safe outside as it was in my apartment, where I had just been struck by lightning) I think I’m OK. My arm is sort of sore, but that could just be from all those enormous weights I lifted today at the gym. I got off lucky. “Indirect lightning strikes,” as...

Police then used a GPS system to track the man and locate the garbage truck. Police could not extricate the man from the garbage, so the truck was taken to the Alliance Recycling Center to empty the...
