The Rise of the NBA Nerd: Basketball style and... →
A look into the expansion of black style into formerly shunned prep. West had done what 15 years of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Family Matters could not. He ushered in the chic of the black nerd. He cleared a safe space for narcissism and self-deconstruction; for singing rappers with names like Drake, J. Cole, and Tyler, The Creator; for the Roots to be Jimmy Fallon’s house band; for...

I’m making it a goal to write things down more in order to better organize my thoughts. I’m already good at writing to-do lists down, as the article also recommends, but need to work on the below: One thing that reliably helped very smart students with major test anxiety was writing about their anxieties to “off-load” them. And that was very specifically noted as...

Device Turnoff on Airlines May Be Unnecessary, But... →
NY Times: Surely if electronic gadgets could bring down an airplane, you can be sure that the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration, which has a consuming fear of 3.5 ounces of hand lotion and gel shoe inserts, wouldn’t allow passengers to board a plane with an iPad or Kindle, for fear that they would be used by terrorists. I’d like to think that...

Paramilitary Policing From Seattle to Occupy Wall... →
A comment on recent police actions on protesters from the man who was Police Chief in Seattle during the “Battle of Seattle” in 1999. Everyday policing is characterized by a SWAT mentality, every other 911 call a military mission. What emerges is a picture of a vital public-safety institution perpetually at war with its own people.

Rage Against the Machine’s Zach de la Rocha wrote a poem dedicated to the Occupy movement. The beginning spills through city veins  Into the arteries  And under powers poison clouds  We move like the shadows  Through the alley ways  Through nightmares bought and sold as dreams  Through barren factories  Through boarded schools  Through rotting fields  Through the burning doors of the past ...

Drake: The Long Way Home →
Complex Magazine cover story I know you hate him because he’s soft, but I’m sorry that it can’t be guns and cars all the time.
