Upon moving to New York, I see this all the time – pull downs that have New York out of alphabetical order with the other states. What gives.

…p. I’m sorry, this won’t work. The people most vulnerable to having their wealth transferred to the wealthy, via predatory bank fee policies, are the least receptive to education and have the fewest options. Far simpler is to have the government step in and prohibit the predatory…
But there is moral value. The unreceptive to education will be punished! This will make the wise more receptive toward education and provide a mechanism for bleeding resources from the unwise. Such social mechanisms have immense value – they put resources in the hands of wiser people. Who also happen to be really greedy!
I love that you two continually are hashing out the oldest, most profound political problem on the planet. It’d be awesome if a NEW WAY spawned from Tumblr debates! Marx, Engles, Keynes and Friedman WILL MEET THEIR MATCH WITH THE INTERNETZ.

Pitchfork: POV Concert Series :p. This is pretty cool, though as much as I love Broken Social Scene, all six angles are pretty much the same. Also when you are in the “all” view I wish I could just click on a view to zoom it.

p(formspringmeAnswer). Tom Waits impressions, hands down. Vocals only, at least without practice. I used to be able to play “innocent when you dream” on the piano but that was a long, long time ago.
I’d probably do “Cold Water,” or “Down in the Whole” or “Downtown Train” or “Come On Up to the House.”
Or maybe “Franks Wild Years” or “The Ocean Doesn’t Want Me Anymore” so I could do it A Capella.
Oo! Oo! No! I’d memorize the entire CD of banter from Glitter and Doom and do that.

“I’ve become rather engrossed with Photoshop in my own work. My first reaction is the same as yours: “My god – with these tools, the whole look of design should have changed. Why hasn’t it?” The answer is generally that, as with all computer-based things, the technology filters out most of the interesting people, and forces them to wait. It takes immense amounts of time to trawl through the dreadful manuals and engage in conversations with the addled numbskulls who get enthusiastic about this crap. Only nitwits make it through (with enormous exceptions, of course), since only they have that kind of time to spare.”

Wired 3.05: Gossip is Philosophy
OH MAN. If you haven’t read it, I cannot recommend strongly enough A Year With Swollen Appendices , Brian Eno’s Autobiography. He keeps a journal for a year – I believe it’s 1995 (He’s working on U2, the Cranberries and James, mainly) – and spends an insane amount of that year playing with photoshop and “enlarging women’s bottoms.” It’s amazing.

Why I want a daughter while I’m still young?
I want to hold her hand
And show her some beauty,
Before all this damage is done
But if it’s too much to ask
If it’s too much to ask
Then send me a son
In other news, the Arcade Fire’s lyrics site is pretty clever in it’s artsy anti-copy/paste methods.
