Default Re: Thread for the mysteriously newsworthy

You know how good the NYT Style section is at non-stories?

These two are both on the front page there right now, and I went there knowing that they would be, because that is how low they hang their fruit.

Making a Word Meme - NYTimes.com

This story is about how, you know how that lady wrote that book, and she was all like, "Lean in"? Well, we saw some other people saying "lean in" also, including some bumblefuck right here in our very own office creating an annoying, if not outright hostile, workplace by walking around asking his female coworkers if they were leaning in today. (Correct answer: "My fist is getting ready to lean into your face, tiddlywink.")

Kale Salads Are Hot in Manhattan Social Circles - NYTimes.com

This story is about how kale salads are extremely hip and with-it with today's hip and with-it youth. You can tell this is a trend piece because it is a story about kale salads with no instructions of any sort for making a kale salad.

Also don't miss the final line:

Perhaps kale’s fashion moment was best explained by Kate Moss, who once said, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”
