The figures don't tell the story of all of the burroughs. Can you convince a cab to take you to the Bronx after 10 pm? I've had quite a few drivers tell me that they refuse to go there. Btw, the 'mourning old New York'

Manhattan has increasingly become a gated community since the city neared bankruptcy in the '70s and the banks slowly negotiated more power in running things (as explained in Adam Curtis' 'Hyper-normalization' video essa

I find it difficult to understand when you say "it was a sentiment I was not at all exposed to in real life, ever". Even if I were extremely mollycoddled by my parents, I fail to grasp how I would not be exposed to such attitudes

I think you may be subject to a cognitive bias where you overestimate how representative racist, sexist, etc people are of the larger population. Anonymous communications technology that enables avatars are always going to attract these kin

While the fast paced editing and tone of these videos are good at seducing the layperson into the looking under the hood of a popular film, they rarely venture beyond the last 30 years of Hollywood film-making. I'd argue that videos li

Great queation. I guess I just enjoy the creative potential of recorded music, and take an active interest in seeking out tracks that are sonically progressive or further the canon of a certain (sub)genre. This probably stems from a belief

Interesting how prescient the final comment would come to be some 20 years later. A pretty decent summation of the modern critique of social media's 'like' mechanics and their lack of ability to create change: "The Net

The idea of Bubba the local beat cop packet-sniffing my smartphone and arbitrarily detaining me "because encryption" is a mortifying thought. Hopefully it remains nothing more than a far-fetched concern here in the West, but I wo

I think you're correct about stage, but great cinema to me relies on a director's unique point of view. The meaning derived from cinematic storytelling lies entirely in where the camera is placed at that specific moment of the na

This was my thought too. I use these nightly and sleep like a baby. I'd argue that it's also past the point of being a placebo, as I have done this for over a year and have only found a couple of tones that are actually effectiv

Funny, the "brand equity" of The Pirate Bay is really something. After over 10 years of use, there's almost a nostalgic bond to the site for me now which makes the downloading of material a familiar ritual with only positive

Very sweet. I'm interested particularly in the 'growing back together' caveat. I'm soon to marry, and hope to keep to the path of open communication. But it seems easier said than done once responsibilities pile up an

What's probably crucial to understanding this favourable appraisal of Bezos is the "reply-all" gaffe that he mentions before the war story. After speaking candidly about Bezos as a control freak and a tyrant in the original p
