Kony 2012: Buying Bracelets for White Man’s Guilt

March 8, 2012

The folks at Invisible Children released their Kony 2012 movie this week, and it’s been blowing up the twit machines, and the facepages. And basically, they Britta’d the entire internet. Unfortunately, Invisible Children is mostly a badly run propaganda shop. Foreign Policy breaks down the mis-truths and obfuscations in the movie, and why you should think twice [...]

Jacob Sutton’s LED Surfer is … Well it’s Pretty Great

February 20, 2012

This video, from fashion photographer and filmmaker Jacob Sutton, reminds me of what I always expect snowboarding to feel like. Ethereal, effortless, beautiful.

The War on Everything Looks Great

February 16, 2012

Over at Slate, AJ Dellinger has a piece comparing the idealistic youthful support for Obama in ’08, and the idealistic youthful support for Ron Paul today. It’s interesting, albeit too broadly drawn to be really [...]

Stewart, Romney, and Other People’s Money

January 27, 2012

This sentiment, expressed here by a random Facebook friend, seems fairly common. On Tuesday night Jon Stewart asked “How in the world do you, Mitt Romney, justify making more in one day, than the median American family makes in a year, while paying an effective tax rate of the guy who has to scan your [...]
