Billy Corgan at the Rubin Museum for the Carl Jung “Red Books” talks (click photo for VV report from Corgan session). Man, I wish i remotely cared about anyone else who is doing these (who there’s actually tickets available left for). Podcast/video for this one seems to be not available yet.

Walked past a grimly stalking Joel Meyerwitz yesterday - recognized him by the slightly concealed Leica slung around his neck at belly height. Wonder if i got shot.
Gave this guy a buck for making my night. Before taking up this position, he padlocked his amp to the center pole (at which point I said out loud, with glee “Oh this is going to happen?”), tuned up with a little Korg tuner, and made an announcment that he was a professional musician. He then proceeded to cue up his Discman and play along to the CD (which only he could hear)

FW: ATTN: howsyrface.
okay, and another. This one reminds me of a Francis Bacon painting. If there were a screaming baboon in it.
Who's interested in a totally bizarre photograph of Randy Johnson?
I will see your Nolan Ryan and raise you one Big Unit.
(this isn’t even my favorite bizarre Big Unit photo; couldn’t find it)
Also, the person who put this poll together is racist against orange and is therefore not to be trusted.
Also, please do not forward photographs of any of these Unis to FIT students or this is what Brooklyn will look like next year.
Because HERE IT IS.
This is the photo used to represent the Houston Astros in UniWatch’s Worst Uniform Ever poll, a contest I will be watching verrrrrrrry closely.
My favorites (“favorites”) for each category are:
- MLB: the original Tampa Bay Devil Rays
- NFL: this season’s Seattle Seahawks alternates
- NBA: the 1995-99 Atlanta Hawks
- NHL: the Anaheim Mighty Ducks’ ‘Wild Wing’ alternate
- Short-lived: the 1999 Mets’ ‘Turn Ahead the Clock’ game jerseys
- Minors: the 1980s El Paso Diablos
- NCAA Div 1: Oregon football
- Soccer: the Caribous of Colorado
- Misc: the 1991-92 Orlando Thunder
I’m rooting for the Caribous of Colorado (fringe!!!) to take it all. What’s your least favorite jersey?
Good. I’m sort of glad these manufacturers of factoids and cocktail party banter for know-it-alls are getting pilloried. And that’s what it is, banter masquerading as deep thinking. They are basically “riff” on data, as far as I can tell, omitting values both personal and societal when convenient for their contrarian thesis. Unfortunately, they are more insidious than most pop-science overreachers in that they are decent writers, and not overly obnoxious/polemnical (there is a benign, gee whiz attitude at work that is endearing to the smart set). I only realized how dumb it was when (after reading that Taleb, of all people, respected these guys) I finally began reading it only to quit in disgust less than halfway through.
Man, FakeAPStylebook should be way more funny than it is, amiright? Slow down, kids.
