Re: “Comforting Thoughts: There's an NYC Gang Called "The Master Race" (Featuring Members of the FDNY!)”
The Most Respected... more than two of the tags you listed above from the the TMR crew were were not white...in fact by 1990 the crew had grown so large that the police from the local station(111 pct.) were out numbered like 3 to 1 and more than half the crew was non white... it was a graffiti crew plain and simple!!! all this bullshit about TMR the pot growing crew is just that bullshit!!! what the members of the crew grew up to do or become has nothing to do with what was done as a bunch of roudy teenagers(most of which have gone on to do positive things),it's more about the feds trying to turn old freindships into organized crime rings so that they can justify there own existance...yeah pat was a fireman and yeah he got caught growing pot and yes he was a part of the crew back in the day but if him getting caught growing pot makes every member of the TMR crew a pot grower then everymember of the FDNY must be pot growers also cause that was the crew that pat was a part of when he got caught...sounds pretty stupid huh??? yeah...whats even dumber is that he's gonna spend 7 years in prision for doing something thats legal in at least 18 states in the country for medicinal use and legal for recreational use in 2 states so far...one nation indivisable under god my ass!!! DON"T GET IT TWISTED PEOPLE...

"Chelsea is very central." I figured she was talking about art... maybe she was trying to make a sly Booth Jonathan reference.
Re: “Full Price at the Metropolitan Museum is a "Tourist Tax"!”
Yo yo pa is right. Suggested admission doesn't exist to subsidize New Yorkers.
That said, we should keep in mind that the Met is acquiring the Whitney's old building and unlike The Met and Cloisters that won't be on public land. That building may retain its admission price.
Re: “Full Price at the Metropolitan Museum is a "Tourist Tax"!”
I don't think they can ruin it, necessarily.
Your comment presumes that the Met instituted that policy out of the goodness of their hearts. Not so. They get millions of dollars a year from the city and the museum sits on public land, so free admission is part of a deal. Most of their money for operating expenses comes out of their monster endowment, so the admissions fees are a minor part of their finances anyway.
Re: “Snapchat: Bad for Sexting, Good for Art”
I agree with this article totally. To add on, an artist can use this app to engage customers. Spontaneous moments can be combined with sharing the artists' process via videos and pictures.

Re: “Why City Composting Should Start in Brooklyn, NOT Staten Island”
The curbside pilot in SI isn't about Bloomberg or DSNY making an effort to expand composting, it's a three card monty to ease SIers and elected officials (most who have been kept in the dark by technocrats) to the idea of re-importing "waste", which DSNY has illegally been doing with material collected from farmers markets in boroughs other than Staten Island for over a year now. While SI deserves green initiatives just as much as any other borough, this top-down, "we know better than you" approach that is a signature trait of many NYC administrations does very little to empower communities to take composting into their own hands.
Also, the author states that SI is the least "green" borough, which may be valid if measured by the number of residents that are convinced of their own self-righteous accomplishments in achieving a smaller environmental footprint (Brooklyn and Manhattan would probably be contenders for the top spot). If measured by the amount of undeveloped open space vegetated by native plants, capacity to sequester carbon, absorb rainwater, air quality, and noise pollution, SI would come up on top as "greenest".
