Somebody thought publishing this would be a good idea

Ace: "Incredible: New York Times Publishes Tearjerker Piece About Their Incredibly Wealthy Privileged White Friends Who Are Forced to Move Out of Their Million Dollar NYC Apartments Into Their Vacation Homes Due to Covid."
Literally millions of people are forced out of work by policies the New York Times champions but the Times also wants you to shed some tears for this woman who has more work than ever -- because she can't go out to get a Starbucks vanilla latte.
For the life of me, I can't get worked up about these privileged types nor the detached psychosis of the New York Times because - heaven help me - I just can't stop thinking about what might be the greatest sentence written in the history of newspapers:
"Ms. Smith spends her days working from her bedroom -- locking the door when she doesn't want to be disturbed while during the school year, Dylan attended classes on Zoom from the butler pantry."
Truly, these are times that challenge the best of men and latte-loving women.

Laughing at oblivious classist preciousness is a pleasure afforded to all men of all political stripes.

I visited a friend in D.C. around the time they were having a homicide EVERY DAY.

Lots of gallows humor going to and from the bars.
