I prefer to do it all right there in the Safari browser.
Saw episode one last night and had to check to make sure it was actually the premiere. This show throws you right into it and makes me wish I had the horse betting/riding/rigging background.

I’m going to make a bold claim and say that last night I saw one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen, Pina, which is playing at BAM in 3-D.
As someone who knows very little technically about dance- I have not been able to stop thinking about movement since I left the theater. Each shot of this movie was amazingly well art directed with an incredible use of light, space and color. The tribute performances to Pina, which take place all over the German city of Wuppertal, each feel meticulously contained but yet explode with energy.
More info about the talented late Pina Bausch here.
Basically a must-see in 3D.
John Jeremiah Sullivan and Wells Tower In Conversation | The New York Public Library
Former CSW Fellows John Jeremiah Sullivan and Wells Tower discuss the art of the essay in light of Sullivan’s new book, Pulphead.

I agree that the pie-chartness of this is rather confusing.
John Jeremiah Sullivan’s Pulphead should be hailed not simply as a fabulous piece of writing but as a landmark debut of a new genre, invented by others but perfected here.
Is a no brainer when I live up the street. It’s my favorite theater in NYC (and not just for proximity). Get it!

Just because you’re going to have to need to read this.
The trend towards oligarchy in the polity is already clear. There are 250 millionaires in Congress. Their median net worth is $891,506, nine times the typical US household. Around 11% are in the nation’s top 1%, including 34 Republicans and 23 Democrats. And that’s before you get to Romney, whose personal wealth is double that of the last eight presidents combined. All of this would be problematic at the best of times, but in a period of rising inequality it is obscene.
The issue here is not class envy, hating rich people because they are rich, but class interests – cementing the advantages of the privileged over the rest. The problem is not personal, it’s systemic. In the current climate, it means a group of wealthy people in business will decide which wealthy people in Congress they would like to tell poor people what they can’t have because times are hard.

I had to reblog this.
Last night’s was ridiculous in many ways.
