New York gives homeless people a one-way ticket to... →

Let’s just set up IDP camps for the homeless in unpopulated areas and vacant lots. This is disgusting—as if homeless people don’t have ties to the cities they live in. abbyjean: Mayor Bloomberg’s solution to New York City’s homeless problem is to make families hit the road. The Guardian reports that under a new initiative by the Mayor’s administration, hundreds of New York City...

freesound →

pforu: I discovered this site a few months back, bookmarked it, and then promptly forgot it even existed. I had, for some reason or other, been looking for a searchable database of onomatopoetic words (I may have been undertaking some sort of misguided cross-cultural project, lyrically), and freesound provides not only those but a host of other noises, from field recordings to guitar riffs, all...

Kinetic typography and the writing of Kenneth Koch

seanmj: A clever video based on Kenneth Koch’s “You Want a Social Life, With Friends,” from a series of song lyrics he wrote. The audio (recorded over a phone?) is by Koch, who died in 2002. He’s one of my favorite poets.

igather: abbyjean: Shem Walker came out on his stoop in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn to find a man sitting on it. He apparently asked the guy to move. The guy didn’t respond. Walker apparently tried to move him with physical force. Turns out the guy was a cop. The cop shot and killed Walker. Clinton Hill isn’t what it was in the 80s, but I know the neighborhood, and I could easily see myself in...

Twitter

http://twitter.com/minorjive deltafoxtrot: Do you Tumblr folks use your Twitter account? Since opening up my Tumblr in 08/2007 I have simply neglected my other blog(s)- my ranking dropped and I don’t even care and because it’s so cool and superfly here. I fail to update my Twitter as well. Why bother when my Tumblrs (coolest folks on planet) can’t see it? - Yes I know we can put it in our...

Either way, somebody I love is fucked

claytoncubitt: On the one hand, Louisiana is proposing building levees to protect New Orleans and Slidell from storm surges, which will protect my relatives there. On the other hand, the proposed levees will send the same storm surges right over my mom’s town, Pearlington. Lovely. See also: fucked citizens of Pearlington to be offered low-ball buy-outs. Those that take the buy-outs will be too...
