An influencer threw a cheesesteak at Pat’s. The Internet threw it right back.
The man who filmed his encounter at Pat’s King of Steaks was charged with harassment. “How brazen are you to assault somebody and then post it?” owner Frank Olivieri said. “Thank God for stupidity.”

Guys Angela Duckworth has really cracked it this time www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
From New Yorker review article on willpower, re: Duckworth's new book, SITUATED:
