In the 90s, Time gave the Gen X’ers the same treatment as the Millennials.
An older generation calling the younger one lazy and self-absorbed, HOW ORIGINAL.
Reality bites, you guys. Let’s listen to some motherfucking Lisa Loeb.I love the self-congratulating tag line. The absurdity of Boomers calling anyone else narcissistic…
Music supervisor Anton Monsted has been working with film director Baz Luhrmann since the 1990s. Hear him discuss the alt-’90s aesthetic, and the unexpected success, of the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack.
And, oh yeah, you can also hear him talk extensively about hip-hop, jazz and The Great Gatsby here.

Awesome post from a very manly blog. Beyond the gardening plug, if you’re a guy or you have a man (or boy) in your life you should check out this site.
Last week I talked about design dilemmas common with the quintessential rectangular urban yard, and space (or should I say, lack thereof), is usually at the top of the list. From inspiration to DIY’s, tips on products available on the market and where to source them â this post will surely have you dreaming up new ways to best utilize a small footprint in the garden.

Marcel Duchamp, Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2, 1912. Oil on canvas, 4’ 10” x 2’ 11”.
The Armory Show introduced European modernism to America. Duchamp’s figure moving in a time continuum owes a debt to Cubism and Futurism. The press gave it a hostile reception.

Cost Of Birth Control Higher In Some Low-Income Neighborhoods Than In Wealthy Ones
Researchers focused on the price of seven commonly-used contraceptives — including various forms of the pill as well as transvaginal options like the ring. They cross-referenced the price information across various counties with median household incomes from the 2010 census.
Nearly every prescription contraceptive was more expensive in low-income zip codes, the researchers found.
In most cases, price differed by just a few dollars. For two of the contraceptives, the cost was significantly less in the wealthiest zip codes.
Researchers said they don’t know the reason for the price discrepancies. Certain neighborhoods may not have a large, chain pharmacy that offers lower prices and runs specials, Zite speculated.
“There is other research that has shown that a lot of needs for health, like fruits and vegetables, are more expensive in lower-income neighborhoods,” Zite added.
uh oh is this going to start another fight that healthy food isn’t actually expensive and poor people just dont try hard enough to eat well because “duh my family eats sooo many veggies with little money, so everyone is able to do it!”
wut? people are systemically kept in poverty?!
but but american dream and upward mobility and and…. bootstraps!

Even Candy Land Isn’t Safe From Sexy
When our kids play with toys that we played with, we assume that they are the same as they were when we were younger. But they aren’t. Not at all. Our girls (and our boys) are now bombarded from the get-go with images of women whose bodies range from unattainable to implausible (Disney Princesses, anyone?).
Note from rp: I used to play the second version when I was a kid.
