I'm reading a "Mini-Vows" column in the NYT: "She Gave Dates 30 Minutes. This One Clicked in the 27th/Erin Lee Carr, the daughter of the former Times reporter David Carr, 'can’t do small talk' — and didn’t on her first date with Michelle Bruton."
Erin Lee Carr came across a striking photo on Hinge in August 2023 that she could not scroll past. It was of Michelle Toni Bruton, who’d had top surgery in 2018, shirtless on a horse.
“I’m going to kiss this person,” Carr told her friends.
Here's a Vulture article about Carr from 2 years ago, "Erin Lee Carr’s Criminal Mind."
“Criminal mind” = She works in the field of true crime documentaries.Her late father is quoted there: "Erin is a reflexive bright-sider and a bit of a sensualist. When we went for a ride in the car when she was little, she would say, 'I love this world because there are so many things I love in it.' She is a kid, by now a person, who has always seen the glass as half full, and when it’s empty, simply finds a way to fill it herself."
Some of her father’s best advice, according to Carr, was, “be as ambitious and bold as you want and don’t let other people tone you down,” she says. “I had a very progressive dad. Very pro queerness. I was in love with my best friend in high school and everybody knew it and they were like … ‘Do you know it?’” She laughs as she scoops up noodles into her mouth with chopsticks. She knows it now.

That last paragraph is poorly written.
…are either of them part of the productive economy or no?
OK, so two weirdos found each other.
Sounds like the foundations of that marriage are quicksand and Elmer's Glue. I estimate 2 years tops before the polywannacracker divorce/overdose/broken chopsticks.
If you’re an old fart like me, there’s nothing new in this. Hippie era nonsense repackaged with a serious sounding name. Remember the Jefferson Airplane tune (I think written by David Crosby), “Triad?” This shit keeps popping up every generation, and every generation thinks it invented the crap, and it always fails. Like communism.
I also laugh as I scoop up noodles into my mouth with chopsticks and can think of no better way to do so.
….any of them, I guess…
Really? Love the banality.
Foundation being laid is stack of rubble pushed together without any thoughts of how the world or the humans who live in it work.
ahh! how sweet!
two slutty women, decide to just be slutty with each other (for a while).
do i have that right? or did i read it wrong?
"I also laugh as I scoop up noodles into my mouth with chopsticks and can think of no better way to do so."
I'm so cliche, I prefer to laugh with salads.
By and large, people enjoy sex. Also, people enjoy disapproving of other people's sex lives. The pleasure is not so intense, but it's definitely pleasurable. This couple offers a fertile, multidimensional field for disapproval.......They're not like that nice young couple in Duxbury, Mass. You remember that nurse who recently strangled all her kids., She really had a bad day, but up to that time they were just the kind of people you want to see get married and raise a family.
"OK, so two weirdos found each other."
If a queerdo catch a queerdo, comin' thro the bi.
Shouting Thomas - yep.
I wish for everyone that they're able to find love and to be able to build a life. Life can be hard and cold, but it also can be joyful and satisfying.
Reading the New York Times, one would think that 80% of the U.S. population is homosexual.
A couplet, a multiplicity of trans.
Some persons believe they can abort the baby, cannibalize her profitable parts, sequester her carbon, and have her, too. Others are in a relationship without a burden of state or mind by design. Progressive: one step forward, three steps backward armed with a liberal license.
Baby you can drive my Carr...
More than 80% of NY is.
Althouse posts this dribble because she knows it's so triggering for you people. Does the name Pavlov ring an enabler?
"On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: 'The Wages of Sin is Death'."
These are no mundane Ronco scissors. "But wait, there's more!"
Maybe she posts it knowing that you will be triggered by seeing 'you people' triggered.....
See, we don't talk about "decadence" anymore because it's all around us.
Just eat your biscuit, Howie.
The pictures in the article suggested to me that Briton’s “top surgery” was (or was closely related to) a double masectomy. So why not call it a double masectomy? Ah! Trust Google to have the answer: “top surgery is technically a form of subcutaneous mastectomy (removing breast tissue), its primary goal is gender affirmation and aesthetic chest contouring rather than treating or preventing cancer.”. So it’s mostly in WHY upu indergo the surgery, not what the scalpel removes.
If Erin Carr were the child of talk radio's Howie Carr, that would make for one great sitcom.
Loving the world is great. But this feels like she's basically a dog who loves anything without depth. Just pure feeling. Which is fine. Dogs are great in that way. Can help anyone be supported. But it's neither deep nor free as suggested here. That dad never helped his daughter grow up. She's still the little girl but with adult-coded desires.
It's also a sign of a bougie grasp at sophistication, with the noodles and chopsticks closing exemplifying that.
But privileged folks have privileges and sometimes that includes being celebrated by similarly untethered bougie columnists. Celebrate celebrating!
Being the spawn of David Carr, she’s Effed for life.
We all love mismatched couples. In the rom coms we watch, it's always oddball relationships that work out. We don't expect a couple like the one in Pretty Woman to live happily ever after, but we're happy they hook up in the movies.
But this nonsense Professor Althouse references? I don't like it and, honestly, it's sad.
"If Erin Carr were the child of talk radio's Howie Carr, that would make for one great sitcom."
Presumably her mother is a Carr too, so that could make for some other wacky sitcom misadventures
'...Presumably her mother is a Carr too, so that could make for some other wacky sitcom misadventures ...'
Jerry Van Dyke would like a word.
I do not disapprove. I yawn.

Big Mike.
I was thinking about that just yesterday.
How the left will likely (if not already) use mastectomies as their excuse to vilify those who oppose "gender affirming care" for minors and teens - in the breast removal department.
"gender affirming" mutilation is not the same as fighting for your life because you have breast cancer.
This garp was in a newspaper? The mind boggles.
One of them is the daughter of a NYT reporter. I'm not surprised. No wonder she's mentally ill.
The world is lesser without Jerry Van Dyke in it.
In a culture that makes any sexual desire possible, the aphrodisiac of novelty will lose its force ever more quickly.
BTW, the journalists that I've known ( maybe half a dozen) have had terrible judgment in their personal lives.
Howard: “Althouse posts this dribble because she knows it's so triggering for you people.” I think you mean “drivel.” She posts it because it’s thought provoking. For example, when I was young and chasing women I thought of myself as a “player.” Now, I realize I was a “polyamorist” or “polyam.” Without Althouse I might never have realized. LOL!
"80% of New York (Times' staff and readers) are." FIFY
"Oh, you don't have to call me Mr. Johnson. You can call me Ray, or you can call me J, or you can call me R J, or you can call me Ray Jay, or you can call me....."
30 minutes later.
"....or you can call me Ray J Johnson Junior or you can call me....hey where did she go?"
To use a phrase popularized by Rick and Morty, polyamory seems to be the same old effing around but with extra steps. Why the participants don't see it that way amazes me.
The outrage net is cast so wide these days that even even evoking a yawn can engender white hot anger.
Everything I've seen indicates one of those "extra steps" is finding a hambeast with low standards.
@Hombre, I’m sure you’re right about Howard, but consider the possibility of autocorrect changing the correct word “drivel” to the wrong word.
OTOH, if Howard expects conservatives to get up in arms over a lesbian marriage he’s apt to be disappointed. For myself, I have a relative who is in a lesbian marriage and they should be doing their silver anniversary soon — which compares well with many heterosexual marriages. Thirty yesrs ago, when I lived in Maryland, I knew two lesbian couples living together in long term, affectionate relationships. No problem.
But when I think of male same sex marriage I cannot help but think of William and Zachary Zulick and what they did to the two young boys they adopted.
Lesbians have some of the highest domestic violence rates among all possible pairings. You're lucky to know ones that 'beat' the odds.
"Why the participants don't see it that way amazes me."
Much of the progressive movement is a lot like old timey cultural religion. They want to maintain a kind of moral vision and are sensitive to being seen as moral, but in order to keep doing what they want to do, they have to shift and stretch how they are talking about what they want to do that still sounds "moral." Just effing around is immoral. Having a coherent sounding description with packaged relational commitments makes it sound just like marriage but with enlightened (supposedly) expression.
It's the oddest thing, people can't just throw out morality after all, and become more and more fundamentalist in defending the new fangled framework they've built to avoid being called immoral.
But it's just effing around at the end of the day. Just like all the homeless and poverty fighting measures they support tend to just be abusing or dehumanizing the poor but with institutional coverings.
If top surgery is a turn-on that provides new hope for those of us afflicted with gynecomastia.
We have nothing to lose but our moobs ...
Isn't nice when Howard chimes in to express just how much better he is than the rest of us?
*The world is lesser without Jerry Van Dyke in it.*
Indeed. Not only was he great in 'Coach,' he had several appearances in an under-rated sitcom 'Yes, Dear.'
(along with Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence and Dan Hedaya)
"he had several appearances in an under-rated sitcom 'Yes, Dear.'"
That was a decent show. I also liked his appearances in The Middle. His last television role was a episode on that show where he reconciles with his brother, played by Dick Van Dyke.
