Is it so fucking difficult to pick up your feet when you allegedly walk down the street? Has life got you so down that you can’t muster a single iota—a picogram—of self respect so as to stroll in glorious silence? Is this really to much to ask? I don’t think so, but then I am also of the mind that you should maybe not leave the house. Ever. If this cannot be done.
Also, walk a...

Cocaine Blunts » Best Rap, 2010 →
Well, that was depressing. Not the list so much so as realizing that I am stuck on a kind of idea of what Hip-Hop should be like instead of the reality of what it is. Hashtag rap some folk call it. It all sounds the same to me. 808’s. Snare Rolls. Orchestral Stabs. Soft Synth leads and those Bass drops. I love the bass, but a fair bit of these sound the same. The flow and cadence of most of...

This is a must-read.
A lot of good information in this article. It is refreshing to see an approach to this ugly car/bike debate without invoking the words Green or Sustainable while maintaining a decidedly un-polemic tone. There are some interesting points that I hadn’t really considered, or had, but didn’t know how to articulate.
The automobile’s capacity to...

In Search of Lost Paris by Luc Sante | The New... →
Most cities spread like inkblots; a few, such as Manhattan, grew in linear increments. Paris expanded in concentric rings, approximately shown by the spiral numeration of its arrondissements. Its Neolithic center was fittingly located in what is now the First (leaking into the Fourth): the islands, the Louvre, Les Halles, the Hôtel de Ville. It then spread east to the Marais, north to the foot...

How Rich is Scrooge McDuck? →
Carl Barks ,the creator of Scrooge McDuck, Duckburg, and the Money Bin, states that the Money Bin is three “cubic acres,” now an acre is a measurement of area and not length, but let’s assume Barks meant a length of 43,560 ft. The Money Bin would therefor have a volume of247,961,850,048,000 cubic feet, or roughly the size of three football stadiums stacked one on top of the other. The McDuck...

CENSORED NEWS: Wikileaks: Canada's unauthorized... →
jenniferanne:
OK so CBC mentioned the document in which some American diplomat complained that Little Mosque on the Prairie was “anti-American” but they didn’t mention this one? This is the most important leak about Canada that I’ve been made aware of so far.
I just tried to access this. Seems the Wikileaks site is down at the moment. No surprise there…
