Earl Sweatshirt: Taylor Swift Video Perpetuates Black Stereotypes
by Andy Cush
Watching the video for Taylor Swift's new single "Shake it Off" for the first time—like seemingly any pop video in 2014—feels kind of like a waiting game: Okay, this is nice and all, but when does the twerking start?http://gawker.com/taylor-swifts-new-pop-album-is-for-the-players-and-th-1623510469

To You Internet Misogynists
To You Internet Misogynists:
Perfect.
First of all, fuck you. It’s always been like, you know, an irritating thing that you’d attempted to co-opt the language of feminism and other civil rights struggles to cloak your sexist ideas in bullshit like “Men’s Rights” and calling this sexist garbage “activism.” And for a long time, I think…

Step 312: Not all voices are equally relevant in a conversation
BRDear white men ("progressive" et al),
Heed this advice.
Sincerely,
All your non white, non male friends
Remember:
If you are a member of a group that has privilege, and someone who does not have that privilege is good enough to be explaining their experience to you, just be quiet for a second and listen.
Really! Just for the duration of this conversation, you do not need to relate their experience to yours, or take apart what they are saying based on your own opinions, or dissect what this means to you or for you. It’s OK! You will survive without interjecting yourself and your thoughts on race/gender/sexuality/ability whatever into what this person is trying to tell you.

In the past, there's been a certain ceremony to the public sexual awakening of pop divas.

A new study says that reports on "hook-up culture" have been exaggerated.
by Rich Juzwiak
BRI NEVER know what people mean when they talk about this.
A new study says that reports on "hook-up culture" have been exaggerated. Although college-aged people aren't having more sex than their predecessors, they're more likely to do so with a casual partner, and the phrase "hook up" is more likely to be used to describe it. Hook-up culture is dead, long live hook-up culture.

by Taylor Berman
BRthis baby was born vaginally...THIS GIANT BABY was born VAGINALLY! As in, OUT OF THE VAGINA!! This title could also read "Woman with strongest and Now Largest Vagina Births Giant German Baby". Lastly, if this has anything to do with this baby being of German descent, Kyle will remain childless.
Meet Jasleen, a giant baby born in Leipzig last week. At 13.47 pounds and 22.6 inches, Jasleen is the largest-ever baby born in Germany.

Make the Most Bacon-y Burger with the Bacon Weave and Other Tricks
by Melanie Pinola
If you're going to indulge in a bacon cheeseburger, you might as well go whole hog (sorry for the pun) and get the most bacon flavor out of it. Serious Eats shows us how to do that.
The first part of the puzzle is how to arrange the bacon for the most coverage and stability (no bacon-less bits or valuable pieces falling off your burger). Comparing several methods, including the simple X shape, triangle shapes, parallel placement, and the bacon quilt, Kenji Lopez-Alt found weaving the bacon before cooking it is the best solution. (We mentioned this technique before for BLTs.)
Don't just stop at topping your burger with bacon, though. For more bacon flavor that surprisingly doesn't overwhelm the burger taste, sear the meat patty in the bacon fat, toast the buns with a layer of it, and also add a dab of the rendered bacon fat to your special sauce.
Hit up the link below for the full guide and a step-by-step slideshow to take your burgers to the next bacon level.

Video of Violent, Rioting Surfers Shows White Culture of Lawlessness
by Cord Jefferson
BRnoted without comment
A frightening and violent mob swept through the normally quiet seaside community of Huntington Beach last night following a surfing competition in the area. Businesses were vandalized and looted, portable toilets overturned, and brutal fistfights waged right out in the open. It was an ugly display and a sad day for California. But more than that, it was a reminder that we must begin to seriously consider the values of our thuggish white youth.

Repurpose an Aluminum Can into a Camping Stove
by Eric Ravenscraft
BRNote to self: keep pop can, pocket knife and rubbing alcohol with me at all times.
Camping is all about packing light and minimizing bulk. When it comes to cooking, it doesn't get much simpler than a lightweight stove made from an aluminum can and a bottle of alcohol.
As the video above demonstrates, you can create this simple stove with any size aluminum can, a pocket knife, and a bottle of fuel to burn. The stove can be used to cook food in a small pot or to boil water. For a small thing, it can burn pretty hot and as the video shows around 6:30, the flames can get pretty high so be sure to follow the instructions very carefully when constructing your stove.

Smoking in Europe Is No Longer Cool
by Hamilton Nolan
Once upon a time in the Good Old Days, "Europe" was a sophisticated land across the sea full of jazz musicians and sexually adventurous women, and all of them were smoking cigarettes sexily like there was no tomorrow. Those days are dead now. Europe is on its way to becoming just another sanitized smokeless place that sells chocolates.
