It is so nice that the New York Times terminated its "Times Select" service, where one had to pay for certain chunks of its content. At first I didn't mind this since I never really had any interest in reading all the bits that were denied me, the cheapskate. But then I realized Judith Warner was writing opinion columns, and I really did find her book Perfect Madness interesting if not wildly revelatory.
Anyway, I neither became a Times Select subscriber, nor did I pull any scams or beg friends and relatives who are subscribers to let me read their copies. I just sat and stewed until... well until the Times decided that the "Select" service wasn't working so well anymore and gave the world access to all the content previously unavailable.
So, when you have a moment, it's worth checking out Warner's Op-Ed pieces. Most recently she wrote about how the movie Thelma and Louise is much more depressing than she remembered it being (I actually always felt that it was a bummer of a picture and sort of interesting for being so sunny and bleak at the same time). She also has interestingly blunt editorials about the endless work and family tug-of-war. The things she writes are not always revelatory but just having someone bleating regularly about things that are so obvious they become invisible is quite helpful.
