doree: Prime Meats, I hate myself for loving you, but there it is: The staff is exceptionally well trained and efficient, a crew of handsome men and women dressed as if ready to ride horses back home to Bushwick, where they trap beaver and make their own candles. And a meal in the restaurant proceeds with all the jollity and good manners of something scripted by Laura Ingalls Wilder and...

Love for Books Leads to a Life in Stacks - In a... →
housingworksbookstore: It says something about the nesting habits of certain bookish New Yorkers that when a shopper took a wrong turn out of the Strand one day, he wandered into Hank O’Neal’s apartment and mistook it for an annex of the bookstore. He was looking for the rare book room, but he took the wrong door, which led to the wrong elevator, which opened directly onto Mr. O’Neal’s front...

Against The Fetish Of History →
So when I hear people dismiss today’s new ways of being, when I hear them confess their ignorance of the new ways with no humility, when I hear them say, “I can’t be bothered to understand this, but I’m going to dismiss it anyway,” I have an instinct to speak for those kids out there who see something in Grand Theft Auto that may not. Ta-Nehisi Coates on...

– An old but great takedown of The Economist by James Fallows. I don’t subscribe to The Economist, mostly because it’s too expensive and I don’t have a subway commute (and of course, why get a magazine when you could read the internet?), but Fallows makes an interesting point about...

Defrost the Chicken: Greatest Blog Comment Ever
shutupfoodies: No one else needs to comment again. It’s done. In response to a piece on the rise of fast food chains in France (KFC will have 300 stores there in a few years): Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners and military jets all travelling at maximum velocity. The idea was to simulate the frequent incidents of...

newsweek: southpol: James Fallows: The point of terrorism is not to “destroy.” It is to terrify. And for eight and a half years now, the dominant federal government response to terrorist threats and attacks has been to magnify their harm by increasing a mood of fear and intimidation. That is the real case against the ludicrous “orange threat level” announcements we hear every three...
