☆ The Great Compression
  + stars: | 2024-02-17 | by ( Conor Dougherty | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Robert Lanter lives in a 600-square-foot house that can be traversed in five seconds and vacuumed from a single outlet. When relatives come to visit, Mr. Lanter says jokingly, but only partly, they have to tour one at time. Each of these details amounts to something bigger, for Mr. Lanter’s life and the U.S. housing market: a house under $300,000, something increasingly hard to find. Mr. Lanter’s house could easily fit on a flatbed truck, and is dwarfed by the two-story suburban homes that prevail on the blocks around him. For Mr. Lanter and his neighbors, it’s a chance to hold on to ownership.

☆ Bum Knees, Stress Fractures and Mental Anguish. Oh, Canada.
  + stars: | 2023-07-05 | by ( Matthew Futterman | More About Matthew Futterman | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
It may be a little hard to remember, with all the injuries, career detours and mystifying losses, but there was a time when everything seemed possible for Canadian tennis. Every time a tennis fan looked up, it seemed, another wildly talented or gritty Canadian had made a Grand Slam final. Bianca Andreescu even won one, beating Serena Williams in the 2019 U.S. Open when she was still a teenager, playing with a style so creative she left tennis aesthetes drooling. Lately, with all the bum knees (Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger-Aliassime), stress fractures (Leylah Fernandez) and the mental anguish (Milos Raonic and Andreescu) that so many players struggle with these days, even Fernandez’s improbable run to the 2021 U.S. Open final can feel like it was a long time ago. And then there was a day like Wednesday at Wimbledon, with the rain finally going away long enough for outdoor tennis to happen, for Shapovalov and Raonic to show why there had been so much fuss in the first place.

☆ Wes Anderson’s Best Needle Drops
  + stars: | 2023-06-16 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Dear listeners,One day when I was 14, I stayed home sick from school and watched a weird little movie called “Rushmore” on Comedy Central. The filmmaker Wes Anderson had created his own alternate reality, with its own color scheme, its own vernacular, and — perhaps most crucially — its own killer music. For aspiring aesthetes, Anderson’s movies can be gateway drugs. Eager to catch all of his cinematic references and influences, his films led me to the work of directors like François Truffaut, Yasujiro Ozu and Satyajit Ray. The needle drops in most of Anderson’s films are the result of his longtime working relationship with the music supervisor Randall Poster.

☆ An anonymous 'art-world family' took out a job ad for an executive assistant to make their life easier 'in every way possible'
  + stars: | 2023-02-27 | by ( Lakshmi Varanasi | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
A job posting for an executive assistant for a "high-profile art world family" recently went viral. For a $65,000-$95,000 salary, the prospective candidate is asked to "make life easier for the couple in every way possible." The ad has been removed, but was originally posted on a job board hosted by the New York Foundation for the Arts. But a recent ad for an "Executive Assistant" for an "Art World Family" has gone viral for its unreasonable — and borderline exploitative — list of job requirements. The ad was originally posted on a job board hosted by the nonprofit New York Foundation for the Arts.
