Make Your Thing → transom.org

dangurewitch:

A well-written treatise filled with advice for people who make things, on how to make good things, and how to make money off those good things, in the complex media world we live in today. Many of my friends have been sharing it, and for good reason - it’s a worthwhile read.

It’s so beautiful.

Singaporean Bechdel Test

I’d like to propose applying the Bechdel test to Singaporean English media. The next time you watch any local media in English, ask yourself these questions.


1. it includes at least two people of a minority race …
2. who have at least one conversation…
3. about something other than a Chinese person.


And to add Feminist Frequency’s condition on it -
4. …for more than 60 seconds.

Interested to hear any responses since it’s been a long time since I’ve consciously watched local television.

Someone actually studied it, and it turns out that rich people are more likely to steal candy from children. May all research be this useful. → washingtonpost.com

shortformblog:

And Ezra Klein brings the kicker:

Bloomberg has more details on the findings here, including interviews with the authors. They also note that the study isn’t alone. It “builds on previous research that has shown wealthy people are worse at recognizing how others feel and are more likely to be disengaged during social interactions than others.”

Of course, left unanswered is a key correlation/causation question: Are rich people more likely to be jerks, or are jerks more likely to get rich?

You guys wanna try answering Ezra’s question?
