Following up yesterday's post: here is the same view of Varick Street by the Holland Tunnel, as seen today (Friday) at 5pm. Normally at this time my office is filled with a symphony of horns honking and traffic managers screaming at drivers. To see this and hear mostly silence at 5pm on a Friday would have been unthinkable even a week ago.
Needless to say, I am 100% sold on congestion pricing in New York City.
Have some people’s jokes gone too far? Yes. Are some people being craven and cruel? Yes. Are some people irresponsibly calling for more violence? Yes.

“…160 journalists and media workers have perished at the hands of Israel. This is the largest number of journalists killed during a war *in recorded history*. By comparison, 69 journalists were killed during World War II, and 63 journalists were killed during the Vietnam War.”

"Hi, hungry. I’m Dad."
There's an example of the beloved form of humor: The Dad Joke.
But what makes something a dad joke instead of just a corny joke? We've got two folklorists answering that question and looking at the history of the 'art' form. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there, funny or not!
Leave a favorite #DadJoke in the replies, so we can all groan together
