This is absolutely further proof that Jurassic Park is going to come back soon in a big way.
Look At These F*cking Archaeologists
Apparently Williamsburg fashion circa 2009 comes straight out of the Badlands circa Jurassic Park. Note the sunglasses, plaids, high-waisted denim jeans, messenger bag, and the mullet haircut on the dude in the back. Even the guy working the dino ultrasound is sporting one of those Gestapo-style buzzed-on-the-side-parted-on-the-top haircuts that tall hipsters in my neighborhood like wearing.

Stream The Mynabirds Album
A quiet evening kind of album. Gospel-infused, 60’s-influenced Rhythm and Blues, produced by Richard Swift.
Plus you can buy the album at that link!

My daughter asked that I wear the “green one, with Thor and Spiderman and two other guys.”

Stream Tame Impala's New Album
Tame Impala are a new (?) psych group from Perth, Australia. And they’re fantastic. Pitchfork is going crazy for this one, and it’s sure to be Best New Music when it is released. They’re touring with MGMT and they’re very compatible with the new MGMT sound (psychedelic rock, as opposed to the old neon-Animal Collective-pop sound) but a bit more driving and straightforward.
Right now, though, it’s perfect music for a sunny spring day. Get into it!

I never think of Jay-Z as anything other than a modern rapper. This old-school picture is like going back in time—like seeing your parents in high school.

In some families, you grow up with the expectation that it’s OK to ask for anything at all, but you gotta realize you might get no for an answer. This is Ask Culture.
In Guess Culture, you avoid putting a request into words unless you’re pretty sure the answer will be yes. Guess Culture depends on a tight net of shared expectations. A key skill is putting out delicate feelers. If you do this with enough subtlety, you won’t even have to make the request directly; you’ll get an offer. Even then, the offer may be genuine or pro forma; it takes yet more skill and delicacy to discern whether you should accept.
All kinds of problems spring up around the edges. If you’re a Guess Culture person — and you obviously are — then unwelcome requests from Ask Culture people seem presumptuous and out of line, and you’re likely to feel angry, uncomfortable, and manipulated.
If you’re an Ask Culture person, Guess Culture behavior can seem incomprehensible, inconsistent, and rife with passive aggression.
Obviously she’s an Ask and you’re a Guess. (I’m a Guess too. Let me tell you, it’s great for, say, reading nuanced and subtle novels; not so great for, say, dating and getting raises.)
Thing is, Guess behaviors only work among a subset of other Guess people — ones who share a fairly specific set of expectations and signalling techniques. The farther you get from your own family and friends and subculture, the more you’ll have to embrace Ask behavior. Otherwise you’ll spend your life in a cloud of mild outrage at (pace Moomin fans) the Cluelessness of Everyone.
