The Fucking Hipster Show Anthony Galluzzo brilliantly breaks down the construction and mythos of the hipster within the narrative of gentrification. “They” are just part of the cycle in Power-elites “renovation” of economic and social space.

Why I Don’t Talk About Race Steve Locke masterfully articulates why for many of us (people of color) speaking about race is a chore we no longer need to be (or feel) responsible for. The stupidity of the comments section only reinforces his point.

“Michael was more likely to break through his attackers with power and strength, while Kobe often tries to finesse his way through mass pileups. Michael was stronger, with bigger shoulders and a sturdier frame. He also had large hands that allowed him to control the ball better and make subtle fakes. Jordan was also more naturally inclined to let the game come to him and not overplay his hand, whereas Kobe tends to force the action, especially when the game isn’t going his way. When his shot is off, Kobe will pound away relentlessly until his luck turns. Michael, on the other hand, would shift his attention to defense or passing or setting screens to help the team win the game” Phil Jackson points out the differences, as he sees it, between Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant in an excerpt from his forthcoming book Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success.

“Growing up in New Jersey, Bruce Springsteen was so important to me, because listening to him you didn’t feel like a loser. You felt like a character in an epic poem about losers.” Jon Stewart, talking to the crowd before tonight’s taping. (via jsmooth995)
