Week Around the Ists
- Gothamist watched a series of civil disobedience events, protesting the Sean Bell shooting verdict, unfold across the city--over 200 people, including the Reverend Al Sharpton, were arrested. Somewhat related, on behalf of a black freelance reporter for the NY Post, the NYCLU sued the city and NYPD for racial profiling.
- Phillyist took a look at how city employees are bankrupting Philadelphia. Not that they need more cops on the streets there or anything.
- Seattlest wondered what it means when we see shoes flung over power lines.

Week Around the Ists
- Bostonist went to ROFLCon, a semi-academic conference about the internet and its enthusiasms, and ended up with a Brawndo hangover.
- Seattlest opened the floor to a few local hip-hop artists who were stirring about Reverend Wright’s controversial comments.
- Gothamist was amazed to hear that an NYU student decided to eat a muffin found in a classroom--only for the muffin to be filled with razors, leftover from a different professor's class ("ideas in absurdism and randomness," etc.). Well, if you're spending nearly $50,000/year tuition, you've got to learn some lessons.
