As the white father of an African-American son, I am keenly aware that I never face the suspicion and indignities that my son continuously confronts. In fact, all of the men among my African-American in-laws—and I literally mean every single one of them—can tell multiple stories of unjustified investigatory police stops of the sort that not a single one of my white male relatives has ever experienced.
WORLD ORDER - PERMANENT REVOLUTION
World Order - “World Order in New York”
I just love these guys. So coordinated, tight, and talented. And the music’s not bad either. I also love that they filmed in New York, one of if not the greatest city in the world.
I’m still mad at Will I. Am. and Justin Bieber for ripping these guys and Daft Punk off.

WORLD ORDER - IMPERIALISM
The morning of machine civilization
akai tate kage mayoi
haiiro no fuku matoi
rizumu ni torawareta asa
itsumo to onaji shunkan
tomenai seisan rain
nanika ga kakete'ru
In the twilight of machinery
In the morning of machine civilization,
lost shadows, behind their red shields,
wrapped in their grey uniforms,
are imprisoned in the mechanical rhythms.
It's always the same scene everyday,
where production lines march on nonstop.
However, something is missing
in the twilight of machinery.
Where’s the world going
Won’t somebody tell me
Are these thoughts illusion
Are we all one
kono sekai wa kawareru no ka
kono omoi wa maboroshi ka
Where’s the world going?
Won’t somebody tell me?
Are these thoughts illusion?
Are we all one?
Will this world be able to change?
Are these thoughts illusion?
People find work to be done
hito wa hataraki tori utau
nemuri ni ochita yume
me o samase kare sakebu
itsumo to onaji shunkan
kono setsuna ni ikiru
itsuka kakumei motome
In the twilight of machinery
People find work to be done.
Humans work, birds sing,
and then they fall into a deep slumber.
“Open your eyes!” He shouts.
It’s always the same scene everyday,
and we live in this brief moment.
Someday we’d surely want a revolution
in the twilight of machinery.
Where’s the world going
Won’t somebody tell me
Are these thoughts illusion
Are we all one
kono omoi o kaerareru no ka
itsumo yume ni waraikakeru
Where’s the world going?
Won’t somebody tell me?
Are these thoughts illusion?
Are we all one?
Will we be able to change these thoughts?
We will always smile to our dreams.
(Are these thoughts illusion)

Are these thoughts illusion?
Are we all one?
Will we be able to change these thoughts?
We will always smile to our dreams.

“They took YouTube and fucked it in the ass” — wow, this is good. Eases the pain a little, somehow.

Hari Kondabolu on the Late Show with David Letterman. I think I might be the first standup comic to say “race is a social construct” on late night television.
HARI ON LETTERMAN!

Ask MeFi: Best New Yorker articles of the last 2 years?

I have a digital subscription to the New Yorker. I love it dearly when I make time to read it. I haven’t made the time in… about two years… and I would like to read the best articles I’ve missed in that time. So: which articles published in the New Yorker in 2012 and 2013 are absolute must-reads?
Once we made it to the lobby, Ross and Lebenthal reassured me that what I’d just seen wasn’t really a group of wealthy and powerful financiers making homophobic jokes, making light of the financial crisis, and bragging about their business conquests at Main Street’s expense. No, it was just a group of friends who came together to roast each other in a benign and self-deprecating manner. Nothing to see here. … The first and most obvious conclusion was that the upper ranks of finance are composed of people who have completely divorced themselves from reality.
Go ahead, say it out loud. The internet is a utility. There, you’ve just skipped past a quarter century of regulatory corruption and lawsuits that still rage to this day and arrived directly at the obvious conclusion. Internet access isn’t a luxury or a choice if you live and participate in the modern economy, it’s a requirement.
“But we just had Indian food yesterday!”

I’ve never understood this argument, which is sometimes cited as a reason to go to a non-Indian restaurant on a given day. How should people cope who live in India? They have Indian food many, many days in a row, and often (not always, by any means) poorer Indians are choosing from a less varied menu of that food than Americans who visit Indian restaurants. Would it be so terrible to eat only Indian food, whether at home or in restaurants, every day for a week? Every day for a month? I don”t see why. So how about two days in a row? Or two meals in a row? Three? What if you had Indo-Chinese food somewhere in the middle of the sequence? Momos cooked by Nepalese immigrants?
Until a group meal yesterday, I had Korean food five days in a row, three meals a day, much to my joy. I bet some Koreans, in Korea, did the same.

Police thwarted by goat stuck on roof who ‘only respects one man’
He told the story as-is, but instead of the whole notion of the intergalactic thing which was too hard and too silly, he maintained that the existence of Doctor Manhattan had changed the whole balance of the world economy, the world political structure. He felt that THAT character really altered the way reality had been. He had the Ozymandias character convince, essentially, the Doctor Manhattan character to go back and stop himself from being created.

Google Street View Uses an Insane Neural Network To ID House Numbers
This neural network—which you can read about here, basically it’s a computing network modeled on animal nervous systems—has eleven layers of neurons, which makes it possible to ID millions of house numbers a day from the Street View raw image data. “We can, for example, transcribe all the views we have of street numbers in France in less than an hour using our Google infrastructure,” write the engineers in a new Arxiv paper about the project.What about the numbers that are too blurry for this giant brain to make sense of? No prob—those are identified by humans as part of a second generation CAPTCHA program. So you may have already contributed to the cause, without even realizing it.
In 1955, a crowd gathered in a hotel ballroom to watch as feed salesmen climbed onto a scale; the men were competing to see who could gain the most weight in four months, in imitation of the cattle and hogs that ate their antibiotic-laced food. Pfizer sponsored the competition.
