late capitalism amirite?
“His talk demonstrated, however, that just as Jersey Shore denizens have their own lingo, so do academics — a scholarly version of ‘Yo, bro’ and a fist pump. This ‘urban youth subculture,’ he said, is ‘associated with late capitalism,’ a second generation that ‘consumes commodified leisure styles,’ and has created ‘a bricolage of...

therearenofours on racism, guns, and the NBA →
I am actually trying very hard right now to think of something that interests me less than sports. Probably venture capitalism or something like that I guess. The point is that I hate sports. But this sports blog is fucking ON.
“The gun culture in the NBA isn’t an indictment of the moral fiber of the players; it’s an indictment of American society’s racial inequity. To see it as...

Aaaaand the are some amazing comments. The way the dialogue in Doom Generation was amazing. Except real life.

“This sounds to me like open borders advocates exercising the Rahm Emanuel axiom: ‘Never let a crisis go to waste.’ Illegal immigrants from Haiti have no reason to fear deportation but if they are deported, Haiti is in great need of relief workers and many of them could be a big help to their fellow Haitians.”

“People who cannot understand where to go ask (somewhat defiantly) “what would your world look like?” This question—while categorically separating the speaker from the queer—is generally asked as a way to make me/us feel bad or like over-romantic idealists.

“Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French … and they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, ‘We will serve you if you’ll get us free from the French.’ True story. And the devil said, ‘OK, it’s a deal.’ Ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after another.”

“And after my 4-year-old niece received the very hot Zhou-Zhou pet hamster for Christmas, I pointed out that the toy was essentially a robot, with some basic obstacle avoidance skills. She replied matter-of-factly: ‘It’s not a robot. It’s a pet.’”

lindsayrobertson:
1. Is it the same ball on all guys?
2. If no, is it correlated with dominant hand and/or “dress to” direction when being fitted for a tuxedo by an Italian tailor in his ’90s on a sitcom in the ’90s?
