Happy First Day of the NYT Paywall

On this unhappy first day of the NYT paywall, I bring to you dorky links. 

• On the un-hipness of the OED:"Listen, Oxford English Dictionary. You are the Oxford English Dictionary. Do you know what that means? That means that you are never, ever going to be invited to the hip afterparties, no matter what you do or how many asinine "initialisms" you say are words."

• Poetry is coming back to the subways. Too bad I don't take the subway. Also, it's too bad that the headline of that article is a pun.

• Also, now that the NYT costs money, I thought I'd start reading the Washington Post. Except that its new website is hideous.
