I know it's not the NYT's fault that the Biden administration doesn't commit impeachable offenses every other minute, but just look at this headline.

Sad to hear the Standard Hotel on Sunset Strip is closing. From a motel to a nursing home, to a high-end hotel. Just hope this original mid century structure doesn’t get torn down. Here’s a few incarnations of the property starting in 1962. pic.twitter.com/ELq9meMzIa

What a shame to read that the original Standard Hotel in WeHo closed today. Although my dream was always to live in the (212), I left a piece of my heart in the (213)/(310)/(323) after living there in my 20s -- and the Standard West Hollywood became my go-to home away from home whenever I visited the West Coast and pretended to be bicoastal. This one truly hurts.
