liberals really need to stop falling for this racism-baiting. 90% of the people yelling about this are not concerned about "racism," they are angry that they or people like them get called out for racism and are jumping at the chance to call "hypocrisy."

Every sentence in that is a mess.

Traveling on private jets is costly, but it may be the most efficient way to tour colleges. It is worth it to people who have more money than free time and no desire to pack into the family car for an interminable drive, said Mr. Henderson.

One of the newest tour services will be started after Labor Day by XOJet, a private jet chartering company, which plans to transport students and their families to five college hubs: Atlanta, Boston, Miami, New York and Washington. The service is being offered in a partnership with Mandarin Oriental hotels and Ms. Siegel.

The package can top $30,000 per trip, and can even hit six figures if families move among multiple hubs. Aware of the high price tag, XOJet is pitching its bundled service as less expensive than the individual costs of the flight, hotel and counseling.

no different than any other service enjoyed by the 1%, this is just how they live

The large closets — “the biggest I’ve had in my life,” Ms. Sinclair said — have enough storage space for the craft materials she uses for her feminist tableware line, Oddtitties.us.

As one of the Times‘ token conservatives, he finds himself in the uncomfortable position of being an underqualified quota hire. He figures he’s now supposed to tell the readers they’re wrong, but he’s never developed the skills of argument or persuasion that might allow him do do that.

token?

refuse to visit a internet web site called hmmdaily

finally someone's taking on the NYT opinion columnists!

For $7,000, you too can bathe like a very wealthy person... Just feet away, from behind a slim panel of glass, the rest of New York may be exploding into chaos. You will not notice.

8.20 I turn on my HumanCharger, a device that looks like an iPod with an earpiece that shines light into my ear to give me energy.

While I’m having my coffee, I fill out a spreadsheet on my computer inputting my weight, my urine pH

I often take a nootropic drug called aniracetam, which switches my brain on and gives me clearer thinking.

11.45 I switch on my Himalayan rock salt lamp, which adds minerals to the air.

5.00-6.00am I wake up, then journal. Then I go outdoors. I often go to Hyde Park, take off my shoes and stare at the sun

7.00-7.30am The first thing I do is scrape my tongue, using a copper tongue-scraper, to get rid of the toxins that accumulate overnight.

I chew everything as much as possible. The gold standard is 30 chews

6.10 When I’m back, I lie on a bed of nails for five minutes, which helps me connect with my body after a day looking at a screen.

there's currently 30% off HumanChargers.

The gold standard is 30 chews

Staring at the sun?

The gold standard is 30 chews
That's the science law

the mad kid had four chews

Is there any way around the Times paywall?

open a private browsing window? incognito mode?

you just have to realise it's in your mind and you can use your energy to sense beyond it

Incognito doesn't work on the Time paywall.

some of it is up on Twitter:
