If it's not Raven, it's crap...

http://rabenteuerlich.tumblr.com/post/25642280226 The Thunder lost to the Heat last night (or early this morning, I guess) in the NBA Finals. Everyone back at home (OKC) was pretty much flipping their shit through the playoffs and the finals pretty much goes coo-coo bananas anytime there's a game. It's been this way since the team moved to town four years ago. And when I say everyone, I mean...everyone. Here's my Aunt Helen . with her official James Harden beard. My aunt is the one on the left. It's chameleon-like, really. Several thousand Thunder fans gathered at the airport to welcome the team back from Miami and to tell them that it's ok that they lost, because the city is still behind them. And it's true, the city has wanted a professional sports team (any kind of professional sports team). Remember that time that we "hosted" (and then subsequently tried to gank) the New Orlean's Hornets after Hurricane Katrina ? And that w

Perhaps that was the thought process behind Adidas’ unfortunate design for the new Jeremy Scott Roundhouse Mids, which come specially equipped with pastel-hued shackles that conspicuously resemble slave chains .” (Source: Ego Trip ) This feels like some kind of fake parody from the Confederate States of America mockumentary. Not real, right? I don’t know if it helps that I know that Adidas is a German company(?) Could it be a huge PR stunt? Is it the shoe equivalent of the Taco Bell hoax in the small Alaskan town ? That was actually kinda funny. At least only slightly tragicomic at most. This is just...no...no...nonononono. My brain just exploded for real this time…

I don't remember when Frosty first mentioned the German hip-hop collective Antilopen Gang to me. It was definitely a few years ago, quite possibly when they were still known as Anti-Alles-Aktion . And I'm pretty sure that I didn't really start to pay attention until I heard the first Danger Dan EP , which came out in 2008, but I didn't hear it until around 2010-2011. Over the last few years, I've become more receptive to hip-hop beats that veer off into electro/synthy beats territory. A lot of that is due to Frosty's influence (400+ Daily & Occasional Tight Songs will do that to you -- also, note to self: I haven't updated that list in awhile). That said, my ears overwhelmingly perk up for the more chilled-out, sample/analog instrument sound. That's why I feel like an old person in hip-hop ( No YOLO ). And that's basically also why Danger Dan is probably the most acoustically appealing member of the Antilopen Gang to me. Anyway, he

Ill Doctrine: All These Sexist Gamer Dudes Are Some Shook Ones from ANIMALNewYork.com on Vimeo . While waiting for ifttt to forward my tumblr re-blog to Blogger, I decided I'd just post this video right now. I've sung the praises of Jay Smooth many a time and this is no different. In this video, he responds to the harassment and trolling of Anita Sarkeesian and her Women vs Tropes in Video Games project ( which I mentioned in the previous post ). He's incredibly on point, as usual.

http://rabenteuerlich.tumblr.com/post/24984213417 I’ve never donated to a Kickstarter project before, but I dig Feminist Frequency and Anita Sarkeesian’s Tropes vs Women series (*coughcoughcough* watch them all). So when I heard about her Tropes vs Women in Video Games Kickstarter…I was all like, “Yes, please.” It could also have a lot to do with the fact that I’m a woman working in a sector of the video game industry. Specifically, I’m a woman working in a sector of the video game industry at the community level. So, it’s something that actually crosses my mind on the reg. At the game design and marketing levels, I often feel like my hands are tied. With online MMOGs, game development takes places at a near rapid-fire pace and we rely so much on community feedback to progress — it doesn’t matter how great you think your game is, if you don’t have any players. More often than not, Analytics run the show. The more that a point can be backed up with numbers, the stronger the

http://rabenteuerlich.tumblr.com/post/24683817246 An attempted and clever-in-theory petition campaign by the National Republican Congressional Committee to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was thwarted by the internet doing what the internet does best: taking the piss out of everything and being anonymous and plentiful with it. The NRCC invited the public to “sign” a petition calling for the repeal of the dreaded “Obamacare” and then the petitioners could watch their petition print out via the printer livestream cam. Because not why not waste a shitload of paper in the process too? Yea, Republicans! You can also watch some footage of the printer right before the NRCC realized what a terrible mistake they made in putting their trust in the citizenry of teh interwebz  to not make boner jokes. And this person made a best-of imgur gallery.
