paperbeatsscissors: Triple Red Shell I know it seems like the King Shell is the obvious choice as a weapon from Mario Kart, but if I was really honest, I’d have to say that the Triple Red is my most desired weapon to get on Mario Kart… unless I’m playing Double Dash. The TRS is awesome because not only do you have three chances to annihilate other racers with homing shells, but before you use them they circle your kart like a shield, AND you can pick up another item! Surely you can see my point, no one. Good, I’m glad we agree.

Triple Red Shell

I know it seems like the King Shell is the obvious choice as a weapon from Mario Kart, but if I was really honest, I’d have to say that the Triple Red is my most desired weapon to get on Mario Kart… unless I’m playing Double Dash. The TRS is awesome because not only do you have three chances to annihilate other racers with homing shells, but before you use them they circle your kart like a shield, AND you can pick up another item!

Surely you can see my point, no one. Good, I’m glad we agree.

"People — particularly young people — just have this self-centered view of art. If they like something, it’s not a preference. It’s true or false."

Mike Doughty, on his fans taking sides with his Soul Coughing discography vs. his work as a solo artist. From an interview in Slate.

"New York has closed itself off to the young and the struggling. But there are other cities. Detroit. Newark. Poughkeepsie… New York City has been taken away from you… So my advice is: Find a new city."

Patti Smith, correctly answering if it is still possible for a young non-trust fund artist to thrive in New York City.

This found via this quote from David Harvey about Bloomberg’s demolition of any semblance of a “City” in New York City:

“The billionaire mayor, Michael Bloomberg, is reshaping the city along lines favourable to developers, Wall Street and transnational capitalist-class elements, and promoting the city as an optimal location for high-value businesses and a fantastic destination for tourists. He is, in effect, turning Manhattan into one vast gated community for the rich.”

"When you grow up you, tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world, try not to bash into the walls too much, try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money. That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader, once you discover one simple fact, and that is that everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again."

Steve Jobs, from a 1995 video interview for the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association. [via Curiosity Counts]
