On Being a Hipster Is an Excellent and Wonderful Thing!
This article confuses me in the way that it defines "hipster." It seemed to me, in the "good 'ol days", that hipsters were essentially just poseurs -- people who moved to Williamsburg and other parts of Brooklyn because it was cool, not out of economic necessity like those who settled there in the 90's to live in commercial spaces with three other people for $900 a month. They were actually anti-bohemian, in that they wanted to appear blasé about nearly everything, especially money, when they needn't. This is where the derision and contempt arose from. "Bohemian" seems like such a malleable concept nowadays anyway -- how is someone in this day of technology and gadgetry bohemian enough to be deemed a real hipster and not a poseur?

On Sweden's Got Problems, Too--Hateful Problems
About one in four of Malmo's population are immigrants (many from North Africa), and it's not uncommon to see drunk aryan looking guys beating up on people of color. It's disgusting. They have a definite problem, and I don't see what they're doing about it.
