Enjoyed this review of James McWilliams’ Just Food. Reviewer Rebekah Denn gives credit for intelligent, challenging ideas which can be found in the book, but calls McWilliams on the flawed arguments, shallow support for assertions and patronizing tone.

I trust you need no further information from me on this. One of the rare non-product posts from Thrillist.
Sometimes it seems like I am always in a near-dustup defending the honourable pastime of Steely Dan fancying. So know, as you prepare your eye-roll or snarky reply to this post, that I have seen it all before and care not.
In case you can’t bear to tear yourself away from EVEN MORE LEGENDARY right now to get this sweet news, here is the upshot: they are performing classics Aja and Pretzel Logic in their entirety currently on the Rent Party tour.

These are *stencils*, brother, on concrete blocks in a warehouse. More magic from Germany’s EVOL, brought to me by the kind folk at PSFK. (Sure to see it in Wooster as well).

I don’t know if this is just f**kd, or if I love it and want one, or if the one thing inevitably leads to the other and I am in denial, or what. I can safely say you would not be wasting your time flipping over to Lost At E Minor to see the rest of them.

From the site: “The One Minutes were launched in 1998 and by now it has…an archive of 10000 video works…The One Minutes contribute to a rich and diverse picture of the world. ” Categories include city one minutes, wedding one minutes, train one minutes, etc. With a concept like this, I could have only hoped that the site would be noisy or inscrutable, enabling a clean getaway (to other online time wastage). Alas, it is irresistable. I read about it first on PSFK, natch.

Love UQ, with its utter simplicity (“every time an Adobe application misbehaves I upload the error message”) and clever subtitle (“you can’t spell crash without CS”). Love that I found it by searching for help on an Adobe error message.
“In November of 1998 AMFTSWKESR moved to the midwestern United States to be close to a curly haired woman he met in a chat room for people with a shared interest in a commercially unsuccessful science fiction film from the 1980s.”

In case you have not come across Significant Objects yet, the loveliness is:
Joshua Glenn and Rob Walker share an interest in arbitrary significance, if I can call it that. They’ve written books about it. Now they are curating a project in which they procure items from thrift shops, commission fictional accounts of the items’ pasts, and then auction off the items avec stories on eBay (proceeds to the author).
I have been contemplating related ideas since I was a girl, when tossing emptied pop bottles into the designated receptacle felt harsh. My longtime fave Cintra Wilson has contributed to the project. In other words, I think I love these guys.
