doesnt exactly fit but this paragraph is too ridiculous to pass up and so
“Younger Parisians are really into the New York food scene and the California lifestyle,” said Jordan Feilders, 28, who started Cantine California in March. “There’s a good trans-Atlantic food vibe going on Twitter and Facebook.”

Strange tales come out of the American desert: lost cities of gold, bandit ambushes, mirages and peyote shamans. To that long list can now be added the story of the holy retreat that led to an ugly death.
What is this I don't even
― Julie Derpy (Phil D.), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 12:47 (eleven years ago) link
Erik Brinkman, a Buddhist monk who remains one of Mr. Roach’s staunchest admirers, said, “If the definition of a cult is to follow our spiritual leader into the desert, then we are a cult.”
It's probably close enough, best to avoid.

Was it a genuine spiritual enclave? What happened to drive Ms. McNally and Mr. Thorson out of the camp and into the wilderness? And just why, in a quest for enlightenment, did Mr. Thorson, a 38-year-old Stanford graduate, end up dead, apparently from exposure and dehydration, in a remote region of rattlesnakes and drug smugglers?
ugh just tell the goddamn story you fucking hack

the actual story isn't nearly dramatic enough to justify that opening and would have been better served without the "Dateline"-esque "IT IS A SHOCKING MYSTERY" buildup
― WHEY AHR MAH DREGUNS? (DJP), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 13:55 (eleven years ago) link
Even the manner in which Ms. McNally and Mr. Thorson left the retreat adds a fresh turn to an already twisty tale. It came days after she made a startling revelation during one of her lectures: she said that Mr. Thorson had been violent toward her, and that she had stabbed him, using a knife they had received as a wedding gift.

Perhaps you remember reading, in 2008, a breezy article in the New York Times that described a kooky, blissed-out Buddhist couple of the unreconstructed hippie variety, who had pledged both to never be more than fifteen feet apart from one another, and also to be celibate. "They eat the same foods from the same plate and often read the same book, waiting until one or the other finishes the page before continuing," you may remember reading. Perhaps you thought ha, they're going to kill each other! and flipped idly from the "Home and Garden" section to "Sports" without giving it another thought.

They also talk about how they continue to struggle with each other’s wills. It is not an easy practice, even now. But they believe that the basic principles of karma and emptiness at the heart of Buddhism can improve any relationship.

Ms. Sellars is considered one of the more respected midwives in New York, and her patients have included opera singers, actresses, bankers and models like Ms. Turlington. (Disclosure: of the more than 1,850 babies that Ms. Sellars has delivered, my daughter was No. 1,727 and my son was No. 1,798.)

laughing uncontrollably at this:
Five Leaves, as well as the Lorimer street bistro Lokal, were both issued citations over the past several weeks for hosting outdoor tables on Sunday mornings. Mongell is scruffy, with a patch of a beard, and he left the meeting feeling agitated: “For me, it’s like people being forced to the back of a bus in the fifties. It’s like, why?”

On the Brant Bros:
“Everybody loves celebrity children,” said Stephanie Trong, the editorial director of The Cut. “But perhaps the biggest appeal is that these guys live in the lap of luxury and they’re extremely open about their exploits. How many teens go to couture shows or fashion parties, much less document them on their joint Twitter feed, in such a hilarious, uncensored way?”
The Brants have almost 70,000 Twitter followers, a fraction of whom appear to be their age.
“Most of my tweets happen between 1 and 5 in the morning,” Harry said. “I’m a night owl, and random thoughts pop into my head. I’ll be watching ‘Mommie Dearest,’ and I’ll be like, ‘Oh, my God, Joan Crawford is amazing.’ ”
This sets off a film tangent.
“ ‘Cocktail’ is the best movie of all time,” Peter said.
“You hate ‘Troop Beverly Hills,’ but you love ‘Cocktail?’ ” Harry countered. “You are a tacky European man!”
But this was a brief low-culture aside. For a teenager, Peter Brant can sound like a been-there-done-that dowager countess, not that his Old World pretensions aren’t refreshing in the Internet age.
“I’m interested in 18th-century furniture, late-19th-century art, the Arts and Crafts movement and history of the mid- to late-19th century,” he said. “I bounce around a lot, but I usually stick with the same three centuries.”
Harry has similarly lofty passions. “I become obsessed with things like DNA or old Valentino shows or the Qing dynasty,” he said. “I have a love of opulence.”
