New Yorker: The Perfect Cartoon →
Last time, I made the case that the pursuit of happiness and the pursuit of perfection are mutually exclusive. I could use psychological literature to support this point, but, instead, I ask you to imagine a person you know who is a perfectionist. Are they smiling? Neither am I, because I’ve been searching for the perfect New Yorker cartoon. There are tens of thousands to choose from—more than...

Support this great Kickstarter project from my old Co-working space!  http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/naa/nospace For the last 7 years No↔Space, managed by Not An Alternative, has functioned as a base for art and activism in NYC. A few months ago, a staggering rent increase (240%) forced us out of our Williamsburg home. But that didn’t slow us down: we’ve happily found a new space in...

AP: Chick-fil-A is suing Vermont's "EAT MORE KALE"... →
In a letter, a lawyer for Chick-fil-A said Muller-Moore’s effort to expand the use of his “eat more kale” message “is likely to cause confusion of the public and dilutes the distinctiveness of Chick-fil-A’s intellectual property and diminishes its value.” (via Josh Brodey)

MAYOR VILLARAIGOSA'S LETTER TO OCCUPY LA
November 25, 2011 To Occupy Los Angeles: This summer our national political conversation was consumed by debt ceilings and deficit reduction. Our national leaders were single-mindedly focused on cutting spending and cutting services. Issues of social justice and economic equality sat neglected and ignored on the political sidelines. You have changed that. In seven short weeks, you have...

The most provocative moment at my Thanksgiving...
Was when I lambasted my mom’s “sexy Persian optometrist” and his girlfriend’s boujy paleta shop. I told her that I was sticking to Dr. Garza on Sunset and that the lady’s five dollar popsicles were unfair competition to the bomb-ass gelato shop across the street. I later apologized, but I will NEVER GO TO AN OPTOMETRIST IN THE VALLEY and will continue buying my...

Animal Collective Soul Asylum →
I like when you Google a funny string of words that you just thought of, and discover that another person also thought up that same sentence. The childhood mystery, wondering if anyone else on the planet is thinking the same as you, gets solved more easily. So I was having a conversation with a fellow print making / graphic design friend from Portland today and she reminded me about the “soul”...
