Kid Rock Advocates For Detroit

By Orion on Mon, 03/07/2011 - 5:42am |

Back when I was about twelve or something like that, Kid Rock and Eminem jumped on to the scene. A rambunscious troublesome white kid in the Central District of Seattle, I instantly took with these two guys. They're both very different and have gone in very different directions with their music (which probably could not have been foreseen back then) but they both reek of loyalty to their hometown, Detroit, a city that is besmerched and looked down upon throughout the country.

Shadeism

From Deschamps: 

There's a really incredible phenomenon of discrimination within communities of color based on the degree of "shade." I had heard of this before but had never heard an actual term for it: shadeism.

"Armageddon or Hot Air?"

By Orion on Fri, 02/18/2011 - 10:15am |

From Deschamps:

This is very interesting. Over at Disinformation, they're rushing a bit towards the armageddon diagnosis: 

A massive solar flare could make for a beautiful night for people in the northern United States – provided it doesn’t knock the lights out.
