Robert Kuttner: Needed: A Mass Movement for College Debt Relief
(I will never not complain about student loans until there is a solution that actually happens)
With summer looming, The Times looked at the condition of public beaches in the region battered by Hurricane Sandy, surveying three states and hundreds of miles of coastline.Mine — Fort Tilden — will not. Sad.
a bike ride to all the beaches is on the books.
but really, my important question is, what happened to Rockaway Tap and Grill?

Andy Bernard, The Office
… the tears just start coming you guys
OMG THAT WAS PERFECT
Michael: I’m friends with everybody in this office. We’re all best friends. I love everybody here. But sometimes your best friends start coming into work late and start having dentist appointments that aren’t dentist appointments, and that is when it’s nice to let them know that you could beat them up.
I try to gently nudge him in another conversational direction by saying something mild and loving, like, “Please shut the fuck up right now.”
“Is this a good idea? What do you think? Can you help me? Do you want to publish this? What would you change?”
… you’re standing there saying, “Well? What should this be? What should I be? Who the fuck am I anyway? Do you even love me anymore?”
And sometimes, in order to take total, true creative responsibility, you have to shut people out for a while. You have to stop walking around like a giant fucking question mark. You have to stop looking for reassurance from half-interested friends, and you have to stop asking other people to help you shape your work from start to finish. Calm the fuck down and get back to work. Talking in circles is just a form of procrastination. Asking for guidance but not actually wanting guidance is a way of justifying inaction and self-pity. Letting it out is one thing; repeating yourself indefinitely is another.
“Shut up. Go finish your shit and then edit it again and again and again until it’s great. When you’re done, then we can talk some more.”
I didn’t expect to laugh cry at my desk today…
