Weight classes in prisons to slow down the rates of prisoner-on-prisoner rape? http://bit.ly/cHYuOZ Sounds pretty good to me.
Read these, in this order. Love this type of talk: http://bit.ly/8X9uDG, http://bit.ly/9yBFlf, http://bit.ly/aWcPFW (via @ezraklein @cdixon) I very clearly remember going to my Goldman Sachs interview, winter of Junior year, and thinking to myself, wow I could not have less interest in investment banking if I tried. But everyone else is doing it, it’s a lot of money, it’s safe, and it’s competitive as hell and really well marketed. A few short weeks later I’d […]
Fundamental Techniques in Handling People

But I want to share my thoughts anyway. More to come, of course. The Masculine Mystique: Why it’s time to stop watching ESPN, and time to start hustling Gentlemen: we’ve got a problem.

The adorable PS22 Chorus is back on track after being disconcertingly “co-opted by viral marketers” for a moment there. A lot has gone down since we last raved about their cover of Phoenix’s “Lisztomania,” which hit the blogosphere by storm in early March—namely, the PS22 kids have since covered Beach House with their pony-tailed teacher, Gregg Breinberg, Toad the Wet Sprocket(?), […]
