It’s approaching that time when a new iteration of a thing, in this case Arrested Development, suffers blowback, handwringing, and skepticism from its legions of fans who’ve built up a skin of cynicism protecting their taste—a questionable sense that they’d call discerning and I’d call entitled—from the pain of disappointment.

It’s easy to say everything sucks, or will suck, or at this very minute is sucking. These are the kind of opinions that get compared to assholes. Perhaps cynicism is a byproduct of irony.

Whatever happens with remakes or reboots or continuations doesn’t really matter since the source material is still there. So as a fan it’s only important to be right. To hedge your bets by claiming something new will suck. Optimism makes you vulnerable. This way, if it’s bad you can partake in the “told you so” JO-brag. If it’s actually good then you just pretend its bad and focus on some esoteric aspect. “It’s only funny when you don’t know Will Arnet and Michael Cera”. It’s more fun to be elitist than actually enjoy something that was made for you. Because enjoying it admits that your treasured indie darling has been co-opted for profit and you’re no longer a curator of marginalized pop culture but a targeted demographic.

Was one of Brooklyn’s finest in Harlem in 1939? This Sid Grossman photo of “Harlem Loiterers” from the Prints Collection at NYPL’s Schomburg Center for Research In Black Culture has created quite a stir since being posted to the Center’s Facebook page the other day. Why? Because the man on the right looks a heck of a lot like Jay-Z (for evidence, check out these photos of Jay-Z when he visited The New York Public Library in 2011). Cue Twilight Zone music, right? Schomburg’s Curator of Digital Collections Sylviane A. Diouf found the photo while researching an exhibition, and said, “I was immediately struck by the similarity to Jay-Z and actually laughed out loud … I still hope somebody will tell us who that you man really was.”

So is Jay-Z a time traveler? Is this someone else - anyone know who? What do you think?

I really like this.

“

Laudanum is a tincture of opium containing approximately 10% powdered opium by weight (the equivalent of 1% morphine).

It is reddish-brown in color and tastes extremely bitter. Laudanum contains almost all of the opium alkaloids, including morphine and codeine. A potent narcotic by virtue of its high morphine concentration, laudanum was historically used to treat a variety of ailments, but its principal use was as an analgesic and cough suppressant. Until the early 20th century, laudanum was sold without a prescription and was a constituent of many patent medicines. Today, laudanum is recognized as addictive and is strictly regulated and controlled throughout most of the world.

For those who, like me, needed Pete Campbell’s joke to Bert Cooper explained.

“So when you say you want Apple to stop creating skeuomorphic interfaces – you really don’t mean that. What you want is for Apple to stop having bad taste, and you want Apple to make their interfaces communicate more effectively.”
