wearethe99percent:

I have done awful things to make my mortgage payments…including selling my body.

But I am no longer willing to sacrifice my remaining shreds of dignity on the altar of a faceless institution that gave me an ill-advised loan to begin with.

Are you guys really THAT greedy?

D.I.Y. Homemade Glitter!

There is always a time, place, and need for glitter! Why make a trip to the craft store when you can just make it at home?

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350. Place salt (table salt/sea salt) into a small bowl. Add drop of food coloring and mix with the salt. Spread mixture onto a baking sheet in one layer. Bake in oven for 10 minutes. Let cool, then transfer into a storage container for use.

This is incredibly cool.

The Kasper Stromman Design Blog: The big milk report: colour of packaging versus fat content:

kasperstromman:

Everyone knows that if you want some nice, regular milk with a fat content of 1.5 % you reach for the blue carton in the supermarket. Right? At least that’s how Finnish cows want – no, demand – their milk to be packaged.

But wait a minute! Should you find yourself in Sweden it’s like the…

A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O’Connor

This is a recording from 1959 of Flannery O’Connor herself reading A Good Man is Hard to Find at Vanderbilt University.

Probably one of the coolest things in the world right now. Also, it’s included in the special features of John Huston’s film version of Wise Blood, recently released in the Criterion Collection.

Life’s a Riot with TARP vs Tarp

Some years ago, the Mayor of New York started the tradition of hosting an annual holiday party at Gracie Mansion for the media, mostly City Hall beat reporters (Room 9‘ers), that has the unspoken code of being kinda-sorta off the record. One could argue, though I wouldn’t, that there’s no real harm or impropriety in these things. (See: White House Correspondents Dinner.) But this year is different with Bloomberg. Very different.

After the NYPD’s recent treatment (obviously sanctioned by the Mayor’s Office) of the media covering Occupy Wall Street raids and protests, which included the “NYPD aggressively blocking journalists from doing their constitutionally protected work and in some instances is even targeting journalists for mistreatment,” it is highly inappropriate to yuk it up at a holiday party and give gag gifts at OWS’s expense.

Todd Maisel, the NY Daily News photog who took the photos above, tweeted “Mayor has great sense of humor” which is supposed to make things OK? I guess if I was a billionaire with a private army, I’d be laughing too. As I said before, when you’re talking about rising poverty and eroding First Amendment rights, the joke’s not all that funny.

I’m shocked this story and these photos haven’t gained more traction. Why aren’t local media outlets talking about this? Problem is, the ones who should - the ones who normally Tweet every breath out of Bloomberg’s mouth and are usually the finest examples of journalism - are the ones who were in that room and they’re not saying much.

Access and influence, same old bullshit. You get to eat it.
