It will likely take you some time to get into this one but once it happens you’ll be glad it did, so stick with it. Also, if you’re avoiding carbs right now maybe it’s best to just listen rather than watch the accompanying video. Either way, enjoy.

★★★★ The eight-year-old put on a sweater over his pajamas after getting up. Scarves and knit hats were out in the sharpened cold and sharper sun. Earflaps. The wind rolled a paper plate along a crosswalk on edge. Fountains were dry. An afternoon walk up the avenue was led by a shadow long enough to bridge an entire storefront. A woman came walking sunward in a high-collared coat of pure primary yellow, a color not seen or not yet to be seen anywhere else on the sidewalks. As the sun went down, the last bit of its disc warped into a coronet atop a distant building. Over dinner the four-year-old told the eight-year-old about the sunset, and he learned that the eight-year-old in turn had seen the moon — a waxing crescent — in the dark walking back from his piano lesson. A peek through the blinds just to check found the moon at once, gone from now from white to gold, above the new construction on the far West Side.

I know I am always saying that the Internet is terrible and we should burn it down to the fucking ground, but boy is that especially true today. It will probably be even more true tomorrow but I can’t spend my time worrying about the awfulness to come when there’s such an abundance of awfulness right here in front of us. What can you do? Nothing, really. I guess maybe just look at this video and enjoy some of these hahas from Gawker Media’s pink ghetto. Everything else is, believe me, not good. “Enjoy.”

“We are approaching this terrible time called Christmas.. go into the Westfield shopping centre and you’ll see tens of thousands of people buying lots of things they don’t want with money they don’t have for people they don’t like.”

Trevor Noah interviewed The Fugees’ Pras about his new documentary, Sweet Micky for President — in which Pras rallies (and succeeds) in getting Haitian musician Michel Martelly elected president of Haiti. Noah shows off classic Daily Show interview chops when he gets Pras to admit he didn’t know how crazy of a guy Martelly was before he began his campaign. Of course, Noah can’t help but draw comparisons to American politics: “Do you think the same thing happened with Trump and Ben Carson?”

More men ought to be doing what women did historically: improving their economic prospects by marrying well. With apologies to Jane Austen, even a man who is not in possession of a fortune will still be in want of a wife — ideally one who has a fortune of her own.

One suspects few men will have any problem with this particular avenue toward gender equality, especially “a man who is not in possession of a fortune” but wants a PlayStation 4.

Good morning. Enjoy.

★★★ A motorcycle turned onto the avenue, crossing in front of a jackhammer, as the clouds held a lid on the whole rumbling soundscape. The four-year-old anchored his rain jacket by the hood and the right sleeve, leaving the other sleeve dangling so as not to shift his grip on his comic book. A shower passed, leaving a new damp weight on the chill. By midafternoon, the character of the light had changed, and the part of the clouds directly overhead was thinning toward blue. The gloom would not readily let go, but in the night a new wind shook the windows and wailed in the hollows of the building.

This song is both pretty and catchy but there is a part in the middle where, if you are a habitual user of performative work application Slack, you will hear something that sounds exactly like you are receiving a direct message and you will suddenly be filled with resentment toward your neediest colleague. Now that I have warned you about it, though, you are free to discard that emotion and simply enjoy.

“I grew up in the New Jersey, went to college in Connecticut, moved to New York upon graduation. I’ve spent 44 years living in the tri-state area. Autumn is very different, these past few years, than it used to be. To my mind, mosquitos in October are an anomaly. When I was a kid, we’d surely have had two nights of frost by this time of year, and the mosquitos would have died or gone into hibernation for winter. It was 74F in Central Park last week. In November.”
