The Hold Steady lyrics for $1000

"and young women - beautiful young women - come up to me, with tears in their eyes, and say to me, 'Ms. Weiss, that was the best party I've ever been to'"

The sunk cost fallacy of time spent. But also, yeah, parties with lots and lots of money can probably be something.

“Seth and Amy threw the greatest party on Saturday—everybody had a blast. I DON’T CARE IF YOU JUDGE ME.”

But the party stopped instantly with a noise complaint, so you know it must have been crazy. Honestly the number of times reading through it I had my mental alarms go off was kind of impressive. Like, the author hints 3 times that they hope to date/marry out of -this specific pool-? Yikes

No way was this written by someone with the last name “Sulkin” come on man

The simulation is getting lazy

She’s inadvertently revealing unfavorable ideas people have of people like her are completely true. E.g., she’s blown away by a Catholic and a Jew debating. She is marveling at youth having fun together as she didn’t think it possible. So she IS like a 70 year old homebody who only watches Fox News.

Bari Weiss: We're throwing a white party! Me: Cool... I need to find some white pants tho Bari: Not that kind of white party

Skimming the article I just kept thinking “those are the best pictures they could get?”

Also....... who gives a shit???

This stuck out to me. Jesus, does anyone have any fucking self respect?

No

Next question?

Wait was that published IN the FP

Third place guy on the podium meme is strong with this one

“you know who throws the best parties? the people paying me to write this, that’s who”

If the party were any good, the only defense would be the 5th Amendment.

Breaking News: People With Similar Interests and Values Enjoy Socializing Together

Imagine the barn-burner of a column we have in store if this writer ever gets lucky.

"I Touched a Boob Last Night, Now the Woke Left Is Triggered"

"I don’t care if you judge me." yes, you do, kid.

“and second of all, i’m not mad, don’t put in the newspaper that i got mad”

I always think of the House episode where he's interviewing interns or something and an interviewee with tattoos says they doesn't care what people think of them and House points out that the people who don't care what people think of them tend to be disheveled weirdos, not cool hipsters.

people who genuinely don't care what other people think of them don't worry what other people think about them enough to ask the question, much less find an answer for it (much less write an article in the Free Press about it)

That headline is just kind of pathetic. Like... *That* was the best night of your life? A press party? Good god; the gentry need to go out and actually live.

And mix with the proles? Scandalous!

There aren't any actual things going on at a press party, no matter Free or not, that could possibly be actually something that would make a real human being's "best night" list in 2025. It's not like those mother fuckers are doing near as much blow as they used to...

An article in the free press glazing a free press party? That seems kinda shameless

"Come work at the Free Press! We promise you'll get laid!"

The Sunsphere!

You mean the Wigsphere

That has to be the most boring party I have ever seen!

Other articles on that website read exactly like that

Needs to get out more.

"People" is you brother. Stop saying this about yourself..Definitely don't make it our problem..

I've a strong belief that NO ONE has written about the "the best party ever/night of my life" Nope Studio 54 wasn't the best party ever. How do I know? Too much written about it The best parties aren't captured in minute detail by some erudite observer- there are no wallflowers at the best parties

"As I said when I got into work the next day: It was the best night of my life." If you go to work the next day, it was at best an ok night.

"The best sex of my life was Rohypnol assisted sex. And I don't care if you judge me."

I can’t follow the supposed cultural grievances any more, they come and go so fast. What are they assuming I’m judgmental of? Parties? Young people? The free press? Media people in general?

Normal people are pretty tight lipped about the best night of their lives

"the best night of my life was a work party" is definitely the kind of person whose ideas I want to hear because they obviously have a lot of valuable life experience

Right now we’re at this weird place where too many dipshits who never got invited to parties at all in high school or college found each other via social media and go to a party together where they can complain about all the people that didn’t invite them because they are weird and annoying af.

My life is cool, amirite!? Am I right!? Well, fuck you then !

They found the only bar that still allows smoking. Neato! And college was rough for the author because of her ideals and values – but she's now found her peeps at the Free Press.

That reads like a homeschool kid’s college essay

What's a free press?

A nine figure valuation from Skydance, apparently.

The most boring humblebrag ever

and their life really HASN'T ever been that interesting... lol

Ok, clearly we were all super cool when we were 29, but rather than just waving it away perhaps there are some implicit things to learn here. Frankly I can't imagine how much it must suck to be 29 compared to my 29. Ok, sure, much better than the 1930s but we also all compare against peers

If you read the article it is immediately obvious that the author has had a sad, lonely life and it is entirely believable that this really was the best night of their life.

And so insistent about interjecting their repulsive politics into everything that it destroyed their college experience immediately.

Imagine being so unpleasant that it killed every friendship at the place in American society the most dedicated to making friends.

Under-30 parties? Did they ask for ID at the door?

Because no one invites me to other parties, I’ve decided my work party is the best party ever.

looking at the pics, it was also 100% white, so that may be why she enjoyed it so much.

You have to work hard to get a party that white in NYC
