Skybarn: Are New Yorkers suddenly starting to... →
Are New Yorkers suddenly starting to believe that they are angry even though they are not, in fact, angry. It reminds me of my twins when they were infants. One would cry and then the other would cry because they thought they were the one that was upset. It’s no fault of New Yorkers who have never…

All My Friends Are Dead →
A kids’ book for budding curmudgeons. (via Laughing Squid) If you’re a dinosaur, all of your friends are dead. If you’re a pirate, all of your friends have scurvy. If you’re a tree, all of your friends are end tables. Each page of this laugh-out-loud illustrated humor book showcases the downside of being everything from a clown to a cassette tape to a zombie.

LCD Soundsystem's last stand →
rubenfeld: Klosterman takes on LCD Soundsystem. “‘I actually want to write a treatise in defence of pretension,’ he says. ‘I think the word pretension has become like the word ironic – just this catch–all term to distance people from interesting experiences and cultural engagement and possible embarrassment. Pretension can lead to other things.’” ...

Contesting Jobless Claims Becomes a Boom Industry →
With a client list that reads like a roster of Fortune 500 firms, a little-known company with an odd name, the Talx Corporation, has come to dominate a thriving industry: helping employers process — and fight — unemployment claims.
