Thursday Styles is bumping and grinding with all the vim and vigor of a sunny day. Have you heard of the latest trend in lunch, what all of the coolest office-weary kids are doing on their mid-day gruel breaks? They're. Dancing.
Hope you're hungry for schadenfreude, because The New York Times's recent Thursday styles piece on "Will.i.amsburg" was not only laughable, it was incorrect. And somehow, so are the corrections.
The Los Angeles Times announced late Wednesday that it would join the Associated Press in dropping the phrase "illegal immigrant" from its style guide.
Oh no. It's happening again. The New York Times is discovering that Brooklyn is a popular place, and it's running trend pieces about how hipsters love the Williamsburg neighborhood therein. But this latest edition is more trollish than the others
Jill Abramson, the executive editor of The New York Times and the first woman to hold that position, is literally a poster child for Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In mantra. And, yet, that doesn't seem to matter to many of her defenders today, who also happen to dislike Sheryl Sandberg and her Lean In movement because it only represents corporate power women just like Abramson.
Politico just published a rather startling exposée on the state of affairs at The New York Times, notably the collective bad attitude towards executive editor Jill Abramson.
The photographs in Alex Vadukul's New York Times story about Neale Albert, a 75-year-old collector of miniature books, are as squee-inducing as anything you might see on Cute Overload—except, of course, the subjects pictured are not piglets or puppies but books.
As reactions to the media's handling (or rather, mishandling) of breaking news during a busy week continue to flow in, perhaps none is more condemning than David Carr's latest column in The New York Times.
People have tattoos. The New York Times has noticed! But a lot of people are still hiding their tattoos, even though they got them and they like them. This is because of the office.
Gun control is one of the most divisive issues in the country, and Wednesday's face-off in the Senate reminded of that. But Gabrielle Gifford's new piece in Thursday's New York Times reminds us that we're human.

In the New York Times today, Leslie Kaufman takes on the new proliferation of books about bullying in the Y.A. and children's markets. There are more, yes, but they are also different.
In The New York Times' telling, the City Council speaker and mayoral hopeful who happens to be openly gay, is "temperamental and surprisingly volatile." The piece have some saying, "This story would never have been written if Christine Quinn was a man."
Since August of 2012 we've been predicting that people were going to unleash a world of hate against Greek yogurt. Perhaps—and this pains me to say it, but maybe it's true—perhaps we were wrong.
The paper has a "new" way to make money off its "savvy" readers: This summer, it will adopt a metered paywall system that's very similar to The New York Times — and, just like the Times, actually savvy readers will find a way to access it for free.
It's been more than two days since The New York Times declared the end of nice when it comes to voicemails and emails and more, and now the thundering contrarian herds of mean are coming for your salutations.

New York Times writer Nick Bilton had a massive freakout, from email and voicemail to giving helpful advice and, yes, saying "thank you" to another human being. This particular etiquette denier needs to take a chill pill, but the "right" way to reach out to people has become more complex.
After the success of its multi-chapter, multimedia avalanche story, the Times today has given the online splash-page treatment to another graphics- and info-driven story, Dennis Overbye's "Chasing the Higgs Boson."

The acclaimed filmmaker makes the liberal's case for watching Fox News
The New York Times columnist is wrong about sequestration, and he's somewhat admitted as much. But we can diagnose his wrongness as a compulsive desire to Arbitrarily Capitalize Things. Here are 34 examples from the past 365 days.

Facebook announced in a blog post on Friday afternoon that its "systems had been targeted in a sophisticated attack" and that "Facebook was not alone," which immediately raised the cyber-espionage question of the moment: Was China behind this one, too?
Elon Musk likes CNN's new telling a lot better than the one from The New York Times — perhaps because CNN followed Tesla's exact guidelines instead of, you know, going for a road trip.

If it looked like the White House was taking a (fancy multimedia) page out of the New York Times's digital playbook with its interactive, "Snow Fall"-style new page on gun violence, well, get used to it — the web is proliferating with smooth, graphic-fueled pages, from long-form journalism and beyond.
He'll be having Yalies read his old New York Times columns for homework. Seriously.
Talk about mixed signals. On the very morning The New York Times signaled its plans to reassign its nine environment desk journalists to other sections, the paper ran a chilling photo of "extreme weather" above the fold on A1.
Right now, the White House press corps has been wondering — as it should! — whether, President Obama nominated three white guys to his cabinet, women are being shut out of the Oval Office. But, if we're going to look at photos, we can't help but notice that another Oval Office crew has a nearly all-male look: the White House press corps.
How are your clothes for meditation? Do you look hot in them? If not, uh oh. You're in trouble. One must dress for success, not just in the office, but in the gym, and in the yoga studio, and wherever you choose to meditate, for that matter.
Much to the disappointment of liberal fans from Hollywood to Europe — and the instant ire of conservatives everywhere — the Times columnist has officially announced he's not up for replacing Timothy Geithner.
Can a neighborhood retain any semblance of a reputation for edge when a "contemporary pet care hub" called Ruff Club not only opens right on Avenue A in New York City's East Village, but also gets a writeup in the New York Times' Thursday Styles?
The cover of the November 2011 issue of Glamour featured Kristen Stewart, her toenails painted black and the slightest beginning of a smile (maybe?) on her face, surrounded by pitch lines, including this one: "12 Ways to Get Your Sh*t Together."
Maybe that New York Times multimedia beauty of a story should be the future of long-form journalism after all — because it sure did bring in a lot of readers. Whether it was enough to merit the effort, though, remains to be seen.
There's a piece in The New York Times today about the new-new parenting, i.e., teaching your children manners by hiring etiquette counselors instead of going the DIY route. Because why would you do it yourself?
There's a piece on the front page of The New York Times today that's inspiring lots of "dating is hell" commentary from around the Internet, because from this piece comes the "decidedly unromantic question" of our time: "What's your credit score?"
The most noxious, wrongheaded, misleading, silly, and downright awful pieces of punditry to somehow end up in print or online this year.
Booker's response this week to a recent New York Times profile isn't that unusual: he's pushed back, just as hard, against other, equally unflattering media portrayals of himself and his city.
Guy Trebay writes of a horrifying new trend in the New York Times Thursday Styles: Woman are wearing slippers. Slippers out on the streets, in plain sight, in full view of members of the same and opposite sex!

Eliza Gray on Bradley Manning and the Times, Daphne Wysham on the World Bank, Henry Paulson on China's cities, Shadi Hamid on Egypt, and Mark Adomanis on Syria.
