Dirty-Looking Hipsters Overrun By Actually Dirty Hipsters!
“‘Crusty Punk’ sounds fittingly like a euphemism for syphilis.”
a) I can barely tell the difference between emaciated cokeheads who spent hours making themselves look dirty and emaciated junkies who look dirty because they sleep in dirt. I suppose the nose will know(s).
b) “Gutter Punk” is so ’90s. “Crusty Punk” sounds fittingly like a euphemism for syphilis.
c) Williamsburg is not a “family neighborhood”.
d) Hilarious that the half-built luxury condos are now infested.
e) This is why I shun (and loathe) panhandlers. I have ever since living between the Upper and Lower Haight in SF. Fie on middle-class kids who don’t want to work but call me yuppie whatevs while simultaneously trying to wheedle money.

Though the love itself may fade, I do not know, The poetry you inspire ascends, ascending Becomes stars and you, who are so loved, Look [...]

Of Puritans and Labor RelationsWith Thanksgiving just a couple days away, it’s a tough business to realize that here in Southern California we’re gonna have a hard time finding a decent turkey with all the grocery peeps out on strike. So if you didn’t need a reminder, the days of “unions = bad” have very much come to an [...]
