on mayor bloomberg implementing a compost program for nyc. which is awesome. i remember when paper and plastic was annoying (still is), but now it’s mostly one of the few good habits I have.
New Slaves
Kanye West
I strenuously enjoy this final 1:25 or so of “new slaves” on yeezus. this feels like the gooey center of pop-hip hop’s sweet spot right here. some echoes of old school going-to-church kanye. also reminds me sensibility-wise of this grizzly bear loop, and that part in temecula sunrise, amongst other somesuch…
Frances isn’t rich. By economic and social terms, she is absolutely poor, but addressing the harrowing nature and implications of this situation becomes increasingly difficult, as she admits, when confronted by her vague love interest and roommate, that she cannot be poor, essentially because she is educated, art-minded and white. →

NOAH, PLEASE JUST CALL ME. I’M SORRY FOR WHAT I SAID ABOUT MARGOT AT THE WEDDING. BUT WE NEED TO TALK. YOU KNOW IT, I KNOW IT. DON’T FORGET I WAS CLASS PREZ AT CHOATE, GRAD SPEAKER AT POMFRET. I KNOW ALL THE THINGS WE NEED TO KNOW. WINK WINK. ALSO I THINK MY TWELVE YEAR OLD CLASS PREZ CAMPAIGN SPEECH SHOULD BE IN THE NEXT WES ANDERSON MOVIE OR, IF NOT NEXT BUT WHENEVER HE DOES ONE ON CHILD/KIDDY INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIPS AT A SLEEPAWAY CAMP? (BUT TWEE, DON’T WORRY), I MEAN I KNOW I KNOW THAT MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE MORE TO BE FINAL-FINAL GREENLIGHT, BUT LET’S DO THIS WITH YOU AND ME SOON. I’M READY TO GO NOW. NO MORE HEM HAW. WE’LL JUST SLAM IT OUT. ONLY THING IS I MIGHT NEED TO SEE GG BOOBIES? I MEAN, WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT LATER WHATEVER. (BUT LIKE WE NEED SOME FRICTION RIGHT?) ALSO MAYBE I CAN TALK TO ARMOND WHITE FOR YOU, WE SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE WINK WINK. SORRY TO WINK TWICE IN ONE CONVERSATION,THATS EW NASTY. PLUS REALLY ITS FOUR TIMES ALPHA TYPOGRAPHICALLY BUT UHM UGH OK SO MAYBE US HANG OUT A BIT SOON BIIIIiiiiiyeeeee…
ok, wait, fffff, nevermind that, what I meant to say is I haven’t seen the movie yet, but this Frances Ha review distills the essential components of baumbachian privilege to be “educated, art-minded, and white” which hunh, hmmm? …it’s inexact phrasing, but I wonder if he’s on to something. it leaves me sort of hoping for Baumbach + color. what if jack black from margot at the wedding was craig robinson? what if craig was like, NOAH, PUT ME IN THE HAMPTONS, MAKE ME A STAR. and did a nice little song on his keyboard. with reggie watts poppin’ out the bushes? aww sooky sooky now. would that totally decimate your vision, dahling? ok. sorry about this, btw.

HOW THEY GONNA KNOW ABOUT OL DIRT OR LYDIA DAVIS WHEN THIS N PUTTING OUT BULLSHIT. WU TANG FOR THE KIDS. LYDIA FOR THE COWS. JONAH LEHRER BOOKS SHOULD BE SPRAYED ON SIGHT… SICK SAM B… THIS N ON SOME FAKE TECHNOLOGY →

It’s comical, but no real surprise, that pop-science plagiarist and fabricator Jonah Lehrer appears to have lifted someone else’s work for his new book proposal. Lehrer has established by now that he is a pathological fraud. The question on the table is: What kind of a fraud is Jonathan Karp, the publisher of Simon & Schuster, which bought the book?

Specifically, he was once a pimp. Lipton, 86, explained that in the 1950s he held that position in the Paris sex trade, thanks to a recommendation from a prostitute friend of his…
“The French mecs didn’t exploit women. They represented them, like agents. And they took a cut. That’s how I lived.”
I ALWAYS KNEW THIS WAS TRUE
