One of our editors (who happens to be a superfan of George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series) decided she was breaking up with Jon Snow. Read her “Dear Jon” letter here.

Here’s an excerpt:

“Please don’t come after me. Though, you know where I will be for the next dozen or so Sunday nights. On my couch, watching “Game of Thrones,” and trying to figure out how to ship a carton of 5-Hour Energy to George R.R. Martin so he can hurry up and finish book six. And when you’re ready, I have a nice girl I’d like you to meet. She’s a widow who lives pretty far away, but she has stunning hair and some awesome pets. I think you will like her a lot.”

I broke up with Jon Snow.

Jane is chill I suppose but WTF was up with those dudes, Mr. Rochester is THE WORST (Jane, OK Jane, leave. Jane! Where are you going Jane! Stay! Jane, I thought you were leaving. Jane, stay here!) and St. John is basically the SECOND WORST, jeez. Also I was amused how she constantly mentions how ugly everyone is. Austen FTW, sorry Char.

(via Amanda (Brooklyn, NY)’s review of Jane Eyre)

Goodreads never woulda sold if they knew it was gonna lose them gold like this.

I didn’t like Jane Eyre, sorry guys.

My secret shame is that I loathe Jane Eyre. I’m not alone. Mr. Rochester is legit the worst.

Let’s all go here tonight after work and celebrate the fact that Bloomberg’s ridiculous test of executive power (which would not have had any impact on our ability to buy big gulps due to the fact that supermarkets and convenience stores are regulated by New York State and not City anyways) failed!

Please BYOOpinions on Lena Dunham and SXSW. Guests welcome!

shame on bloomberg for fighting to lower taxpayer health care costs or attempting to limit major corporations’ ability to sell and market totes inappropriate portions of sugar water

the decisions a politician makes right before leaving office often say the most about them. do they pardon homies and sneak in appropriations? or do they tackle an issue so huge no one else has even bothered to address it

the legislation was flawed. the logic wasn’t

I don’t disagree with you about how the last decisions made in office are indicative of the character of a politician, but Bloomberg has been actively trying to police New Yorker’s health for almost the entirety of his tenure as mayor. Salt, drinks, diabetes, smoking, obesity - these are not new issues to our man. And for the most part, I didn’t mind them. Take cigarette tax hikes, for example - forget about the fact that they are not proven to lower smoker rates, that the initiative cost the city $500,000, or that it was, in my opinion, goading tobacco addicts with an insane, unavoidable tax - it at least provided an estimated $735 million to research on “cancer and tobacco-related diseases.” As far as his obesity-related causes, I think that his awareness campaign was an extremely good idea and has definitely made me, personally, rethink the way that I intake calories. Where I start to take issue, though, is when he feels it necessary to actually enact legislation that has no $735 million-dollar silver lining. In an era with an already-struggling economy, creating a new health tax would be weird enough. But to regulate the way that businesses are allowed to sell their products is not just stupid, in this case, it’s impossible to oversee. Forget for a second that the ban, commonly called the “Big-Gulp” ban, has never affected big-gulps. What would he do next? Try to ban the sale of 2-liter bottles? Oh wait, yeah, he did. Cool so now families who want to stock up on soda will have to order 16 ounce bottles, which will, again, cost them more and create a lot more plastic waste?

Sometimes an issue is so huge that no one else has wanted to address, but other times an issue is so… inconsequential, economically (and sometimes environmentally) wasteful, that it’s never worth addressing in the first place.

Also lulz-worthy recent Bloomberg priorities: Banning carafes of mixers when you order bottle service and spending $250,000 on a new campaign to combat loud headphones.

Take a quick second and remind yourself that this is the same Mayor who, just a week ago, and four months post-Sandy, was booed by the citizens of Rockaway. Now, I wouldn’t go so far and claim that all of this makes him a bad mayor. But if you are looking for a big issue that isn’t being addressed, start with people in need. Once you solve that, then feel free to do a tour of all of the internet companies in NY and get on your high horse and start telling us what we’re allowed to eat or drink.
