Designers can either become drivers of business within their organizations, or they can create the businesses they want to drive. We’re entering an era of design entrepreneurship, in which some designers are realizing that they’re not just a designer employed by a business; they’re creative business people whose skill set is design. —The State of […]

Polar Vest
This down-filled vest is super soft and is guaranteed to keep kids warm and toasty. Your tween will flat-out refuse to wear it for no apparent reason other than “I just don’t like it,” even though it comes in what used to be her favorite color but apparently isn’t anymore.
Mountain Fleece Pants
These fleece-lined pants will keep the chill away on cold days. Unfortunately, your tween boy will opt for shorts even when it’s thirty degrees with a “real feel” temperature of twenty-four degrees.
Cozy Scarf
You might as well take your money and set it on fire because scarves are “cringe.”
Guns N’ Roses T-shirt
Your tween will wear this T-shirt but will not discuss Appetite for Destruction with you and will not entertain the idea that people who wear band shirts without listening to the actual bands are “posers.”

For the first time ever, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency’s longtime columnist Rowdy Geirsson has translated his extensive archival research of anonymously recorded, authentic Norse lore into English. This new scholarly edition of The Impudent Edda comes with extensive footnotes and photos and offers readers a highly accessible yet deeply poetic rendition of fun and classic tales ranging from Odin’s unprovoked murder of an ancient witch, to Freyja’s voluntary experiment as a prostitute among lecherous dwarves, to Thor’s drunken and petty act of larceny on the eve of Ragnarök, the final world-shattering battle of the gods.

EXCLUSIVE: The Chancellor is lavishing cash at areas under significant threat from Labour
The Tory government has done its best to undo almost every improvement to workers’ pay and conditions over the past 13 years, so it’s not often that we get to talk about organising as anything other than a defensive measure. But let’s change that. Let’s talk about organising for a four-day week. Recent progress towards […]

Three Palestinian college students were shot in Vermont this weekend by a long white man. They don’t know yet whether this shooting was a hate crime although it sure looks like a reasonable suspicion. There was no other apparent motivation. From what we’re gathering, the shooter was a self-described libertarian with some possibly radical views but there isn’t any evidence yet of a particular interest in the crisis in Israel. His mother says he is religious and reads the Bible but he isn’t a far right evangelical as far as we know. At this point his motives are a mystery since he hasn’t said anything to the authorities. The kids’ families are distraught, of course. They thought they were sending their boys to a safer place: The uncle of a Palestinian college student who was shot on a Vermont street over the weekend said Monday that his nephew left his home in the West Bank to seek safety in the U.S. as he studied. Now, that uncle says his family feels “betrayed” after Kinnan Abdalhamid was nearly killed as he walked on a street in Burlington, Vermont, with two of his friends on Saturday night.
