- SFist questioned this footage showing a BART cop using (excessive?) force again.
- Bostonist’s outing to a Sonic Youth show was ruined by bad sound, so they came up with a plan for better rock shows in five steps.
- Chicagoist gave thanks for being alerted to the newest epidemic sweeping schools in the Midwest: ball-tapping.
