Breaking News: The Times discovers that Williamsburg has a "gritty" south side

September 26, 2013 By Robert Lanham

We’re not quite sure how the divide between north and south Williamsburg is news. When we started this site, the Bedford avenue stop was called “The Northside.” (See the image from our premiere Geocities issue above.) In fact, our friends at the L Magazine, even have a annual festival called The Northside Festival. The only […]

The Times printed a 1000 word smear piece on de Blasio accusing him of being a thoughtful leader who listens to people

August 26, 2013 By Robert Lanham

Given the Times‘ disappointing endorsement of Christine “no specific plan to require the richest New Yorkers to pay more in taxes” Quinn for mayor, this odd piece on de Blasio is hardly surprising. It’s central premise suggests that the mayor of New York can only govern adequately by being a narcissistic prick, like Bloomberg or […]

Some people make everything complicated

January 9, 2012 By Matt Flint

Joseph Herscher is an artist who makes Rube Goldberg machines. Recently, The New York Times did a write-up on him and his impractical contraptions. “I’m trying to make it as absurd and useless as possible,” he told the Times, which seems like it could sum up a lot of the pursuits of ourselves and many […]

Growing Tobacco in Brooklyn

February 25, 2011 By Matt Flint

Move over rollies. New trend: growies. Apparently the new hotness is growing your own tobacco. As an act of rebellion against the government taxing cigarettes, Brooklyn residents are growing their own plants in their own backyards. “They’re using the power of taxation to coerce behavior. That’s not what taxation is supposed to be for,” Audrey […]

Das Racist bigging up their brand

December 8, 2010 By Matt Flint

I get the feeling that Anthony Bourdain is a dude who Googles himself all the time. Searching the internet and finding the Das Racist song “Ek Shaneesh” that mentions his name is the only reason I can think of why Heems and Victor would show up on his holiday special. For some reason they are […]
