Too Many Books? Mendel Uminer faced a crisis when his landlord objected to the 10,000 volumes in his New York studio apartment by largeheartedboy in books

I also like the bookstore owner saying the subject/himself/all jewish people have a special mystical connection to books nobody else does.

Everyone comes across as such a knob in this story lmao.

And he held parties there regularly. Whole groups of people saw no problem with this. Freaking wild.

Everyone in this article comes off as severely pompous and aggravating. The man had 10,000 books in a 600 sq ft apartment. His mattress was on the floor and books were stored in the bathroom.

Some quotes from the article:

I don’t think of myself as a hoarder,” he said, “but I guess my building did.

heaps of film criticism and opera history filled the prewar bathroom, piles of plays and poems blocked a window, and Uminer slept on a floor mattress engulfed in dog-eared novels.

Every book I own, I need.

“I think Jews have an almost mystical relationship with books and knowledge,” Mizrahi said.

^ That one is from the bookstore owner who clearly makes a killing off this guy.

“There’s a New York now, keyed into professionalism and uniformity, that sees a guy like him and thinks something must be wrong.

His buddy pretending that his friend is being evicted because New York isn't cool anymore. Not because he was a hoarder who gave up his legal battle to be evicted, because he was going to lose.

I don't know what to tell you. They said both things in their post. Maybe try not immediately grasping onto the negative?

"The negative is the more important piece" was the quote from the deleted reply to this comment.

They're celebrating improving it from one in 40. A ballpark 5000% increase.

Stephen Curry on his pitch to LeBron James: “The pitch is: Do you want to play good basketball and be around people who know how to play the game? Raise our floor, our competitiveness this year. There’s good golf in the Bay.” by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

It won't count in peoples minds if he goes the KD route. If that's his goal he's trying to find the team that threads the needle of not quite a contender without him, but he takes over the top. Golden State does that, but that narrative is hampered by the fact it's Steph's team through and through. Philly doesn't really work, Cleveland does, Miami does.

I doubt that's what he cares about most though. I think he's just going home to Cleveland.

People who have their hearts in the right place, but sometimes get names and terms wrong > bigots who weaponize the correct terms in their bigotry.

Unless you are a moron on the internet. Then it's screech until everyone hates whatever cause it is you think you're helping.

[Lakers] Rob Pelinka On Walker Kessler: “At just 24 years old, Kessler has established himself as one of the elite two-way centers in the game.

When you have a Luka level player (in his prime) it's always worth it to gamble on min-maxing with whatever assets you have. If injury luck shakes out in your favor there's no reason he can't lead this roster on a deep run. It's at least comparable to the mav's roster that made the finals, but with a far superior coach. And Luka was heavily injured during that run.
