The Elusive Challenge of De-Escalating Gifts
  + stars: | 2023-12-01 | by ( Jason Gay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Illustration: Zohar LazarLike a secret diplomat passing an envelope in neutral territory, I have carefully approached my family with a sensitive proposal: a Christmas gift de-escalation. This proposal has come up before, and it always gets met positively, even enthusiastically, only to crumble in a sea of wrapping paper at the negotiating table. Soon I am right back where I began, panicking in deep December, stuck in the maddening holiday arms race.

I’m the Hottest Man Alive
  + stars: | 2023-09-22 | by ( Jason Gay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Illustration: Zohar LazarI recently read an item about a presidential candidate who reportedly likes his campaign office to be chilled to 64°, a temperature that irks his numb, fleece-seeking staffers. To be fair, he was not the first candidate I’d read about making such a request. Last election, there was a report of a would-be president who wanted his hotel thermostat dropped to a near-arctic 60°.

A Survival Guide For Sad New York Yankee Fans
  + stars: | 2023-08-25 | by ( Jason Gay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Illustration: Zohar LazarThe New York Yankees are not a good baseball team this year. They have yet to be mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, but they currently rest on the ocean floor of the American League East, like a wreck, full of eels. Wednesday’s win over Washington snapped a streak of nine straight defeats, their worst losing streak since Reagan’s first term. They went right back to losing on Thursday. Depending on how you feel about the Yankees, this news is either terribly sad or quite funny.

The Joy of a Totally Empty Brain
  + stars: | 2023-04-21 | by ( Jason Gay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Illustration: Zohar LazarTo write this humor column, I had to empty my brain. I mean empty it even more than its usual echoing, empty state. Let me explain. Modern life has clogged my skull to the limit. Technology has delivered an avalanche of options to preoccupy me at any hour; the notion of idle time that can’t be filled with some form of digital distraction is foreign to me, almost unnerving.
