Photography Posing

McCormick and Schmick's

Were we smiling in this photo?
I thought we were doing a candid.
Did we discuss our photo posing technique!?!
I look like an even bigger dope than usual.
You two have these wonderful smiles and I look like a lush who can't even be bothered to put down his drink for a picture.

Yo Is This Racist?
A Tumblr that answers the titular question.

(via D.P.)

Q: Black History Month might be racist?

A: Oh word? That is a great point, here I was, blaming systemic racism in the education system for the corrosive under-representation of Black History in our History curricula, when actually it was the existence of Black History Month this whole time. Thanks for pointing that out, you must be some kind of goddamn genius.

Q: I'm feeling like I'm a racist for being proud that of all my 14 year old daughter's crushes, she's only ever been interested in one white kid - and she broke up with him to date a black kid. Not that there's anything wrong with white kids, but I feel like I'm doing my job if she's into everyone, not just the guys that look like her.  Am I overthinking this?


A: Yes, you are overthinking the shit out of this, in an almost creepy way.

Dropping the Bass: A Night With Skrillex
by Amos Barshad on Grantland

One thing about being 27 is that you’re definitely old enough to be allowed to flippantly dismiss things high school kids are into, but not necessarily old enough to want to flippantly dismiss things high school kids are into. Which brings us to last night, when Skrillex — the 23-year-old dubstep king beloved by a giant mass of those who are young and impetuous and full of life, to the confusion of sensible adults everywhere — played New York’s Webster Hall, and I was there.

A few basic facts crucial to any “what is this Skrillex kid all about” reportage: His trademark look is shoulder-length hair with one side of his head shaved, plus a pair of what are basically Rivers Cuomo glasses; his real name is Sonny Moore, and he played in a screamo band called From First to Last before going solo and electronic; and he is the most commercially successful, and to some people most sacrilegious, U.S. importer of dubstep, a dance-music subgenre born in London clubs a decade ago. Also important: according to Kanye, Benny Benassi’s “'CINEMA (Skillex [sic] Remix)' is one of the greatest works of art ever made.”
