    Yeah, there is hella traffic on the site. But I assure you, the wait will not disappoint. I heard a rumor that Brian Lehrer of WNYC is reading the paper on air.

    Who produced that? I’ve never seen it before. Is it brand-new, or ongoing?

    There were hard copies, 1.2 million of them. The project was 6 months in the making, and volunteers distributed 1.2 million of the actual paper to people in cities all over the US yesterday.

    Smiling with my non-diamond engagement ring. It’s a sapphire, which I learned after my engagement is associated with the Sri Lankan nightmare. For posterity, can anyone recommend a non-evil gem?

    No, I’m serious. I’d like to know.
