I read the New Haven Independent daily, best source of news for the city proper. And free, web only.

jacobin quarterly

i think sheets played it’s first show a few weeks ago since before lockdown. they’re probably referencing the fact they used to be a huge local venue before this.

they also just got the joke wrong in general - the suggestion wasn't knocking up yalies "to get them to stay," it was for yalies to get townies pregnant. this person's interpretation is, like, a deliberate misread to make it sound creepier.

Yale has given us some of the most evil people ever to exist. I sure wish colleges were liberal indoctrination camps, because Yale and Harvard sure do seem to produce a fuck ton of fascists.

Micropayments to what? I’m not sure what you’re looking for. 100% of your money goes to the companies you choose to give it to. That doesn’t sound broken to me…

That being said, it sounds like maybe you’re looking for Apple News+? That’s basically what it sounds like you’re describing.

NYT and WSJ online. I go in and out of getting the local papers.

NYT (print), WaPo, WSJ (online)

Explaining humor lol

Keep shining, king. They're probably a Yalie.

I effing love Yale and Yalies. They contribute to culture, civilization and the economy, making New Haven an interesting, diverse city in a state that values education for everyone with choices for every type of education. I know it’s an elitist school but the contributions of Yale benefit the world in a meaningful way and I am proud of that every time I hear something positive in the news.

NYT online. The NH register has been crap most of my life.

Did you see Armada just announced table Tuesdays are back? Thought it was funny since we were just discussing this.

Lol I can’t tell if you just don’t like the joke or if you really can’t tell that he was joking. Lots of comedy involves role playing a moral idiot who gives awful advice or does awful things. Consider Always Sunny, for example.

it’s a deliberately distasteful final suggestion directly juxtaposed with the preceding list of perfectly normal ideas, jokey self-effacement given that the article is exploring how it can feel to be perceived as a vulgar little townie by society’s upper echelons.

you don’t have to find it funny, but fully & repeatedly clutching your pearls over it on this post is just kind of dopey.

Call and complain with the school, tell them he needs to be dropped off at your front door.

Explain the joke.

i really like this poster.

he was making a joke, jesus christ.

No. I’m a Yalie and while the main problem isn’t students moving out, the sheer sense of entitlement is annoying and definitely needs to get called out.

“Why do New Havenites hate us?” Most don’t but they also aren’t going to cater to your bullshit and give you special treatment just because you go to Yale. At the end of the day, we’re all just people living in the same city. Just because you live in the proximity as these people doesn’t mean you’re part of the community you constantly shit on on the Yale-only social media.

Don’t get me wrong. I love this university but the rich kid main character syndrome gets tiring fast.
