• Rip off those condoms, boys! The FDA proposes to sell the morning-after pill over the counter for women 18 and older; we encourage you to try Plan B just once, if only because the woman in its advertisement looks so damn serene. Inner peace comes from knowing you knocked that would-be zygote out of commission. [Plan B]
• Why would alleged perv Jeffrey Epstein donate $30 million to Harvard? Almost all of the university's students are of legal age. [Crimson]
• In the midst of all of Mel Gibson's anti-Semitic fun, Hollywood Jew-bashing Gregg Easterbrook is back on ESPN.com. Coincidence? Not when he's got advice from Jesus for Phil Mickelson. [ESPN]
• Haute Living, the bible of those who like to live haute, will launch a NYC spin-off version, to be found in "400 luxury buildings where the average price of an apartment is $4.2 million." Just what New York needed: rich fucks reading about their rich fucking lifestyle while lounging about their rich fucker apartment. [The Real Estate]

• Life & Style to get bloggy. [FishbowlNY]
• Poor Lower East Side. You've tried to stand tall throughout the climbing rent prices, overcrowded bars, and impossibly expensive boutique shopping. You even kept your cool when Starbucks set up shop. But now the line has been crossed: a gym, an actual area promoting fitness, is headed for Ludlow Street. A moment of silence, please. [Curbed]
• So with the biblical heat outside, how long until people start losing power? We're setting the over/under at 18 hours. [NYSun]

>>Rip off those condoms, boys!
Err, please note that Plan B does not protect you from HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases.
(Apologies for this moment of seriousness. It won't happen again.)
"But now the line has crossed: a gym, an actual area promoting fitness, is headed for Ludlow."
Oh please. That line was crossed as soon as the first LES Starbucks opened. It's the new yuppie central. Move to Brooklyn or East Broadway if that's an issue.
Hey Kirker, at least the Starbucks is on the north side of Delancey - we Lower-Lower East Siders are still relatively safe!
(Also, I've biked by the place more than once and seen 2-3 homeless people camped out on the couches so at least they are trying to keep it real, right?)
Also, I gotta confess I'm excited about the new gym. Trekking to the East Village to work out is getting pretty damn old.
