I Don’t Understand, Gossip Girl Makes Manhattan And Dumbo Look So Appealing

On the one hand, here’s a link to an op-ed that’s a total fucking waste of time and offensively condescending to boot, in the dippy way the Observer editorial board often is. The only good thing about keeping the Observer in my reader is knowing that I’ll never have to see its unmanly pink pages in real life.

On the other hand, here’s a link to a much more nuanced and substantive piece that goes a long way toward making sense out of what until now has been an inscrutable appointment.

On the first hand, just don your top hat and monocle and pretend everything is cool — this as you fritter away your inheritance on commercial real estate and the media.

On the second hand, shrug your shoulders, smile and say, “What does it really matter when the one side lives in Westchester or Florida off your city taxes and the other side jets off to Bermuda every other week to golf?”

Yay, New York Fuckin’ City!
