Super Bowl Art Bet! →
The Milwaukee Art Museum and the Carnegie Museum of Art have agreed to a Super Bowl bet! Even better: The museums have put major works by major artists on the line. The bet continues an annual tradition begun last year when MAN instigated a wager between the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the New Orleans Museum of Art.

Oh, Portland. →
weworkhere: Does no other city inspire such helpless feelings of envy and self-projection from the medium-sized cities of America? Bicycles, coffee, literacy, food trucks, streetcars, indie rock, strip clubs, punk-rock doughnut shops. Did you know Andy’s friend moved there after college and got a job as Sleater-Kinney’s babysitter? It’s true. Your friends moved there after college, too, and have...

Frank Chimero: Whiteboard Accounting →
viafrank: I’ve been freelancing for about 7 years now. In that time I’ve had my fair share of successes and failures, and I’ve started to figure out what works and what doesn’t. I’ve made a few inventions: odd ways of doing things that seem to work for me and might work for a few other people too. I… I absolutely love this idea.

Shakesville: Let's Get This Straight →
Both sides are, in fact, not “just as bad,” when it comes to institutionally sanctioned violent and eliminationist rhetoric. An anonymous commenter at Daily Kos and the last Republican vice presidential nominee are not equivalent, no matter how many ridiculously irresponsible members of the media would have us believe otherwise.
