‘Transparent,’ TV review  - NY Daily News  

"None of the “Transparent” characters hits us up front as particularly likable. They seem less representative of a conflicted world than simply self-centered." 

ONLY SLIGHTLY LESS AWFUL THAN LARRY DAVID

“Happy Valley” and “Transparent” Reviews SEPTEMBER 29, 2014 ISSUE  

"there has been a set of excellent series recently, from Sundance’s “Top of the Lake” and “Rectify” to the BBC’s wonderfully quiet British seaside thriller, “Broadchurch.” " 

DIDN'T MAKE IT FAR INTO TOP OF THE LAKE AND BROADCHURCH DISAPPOINTED IN THE END BUT RECTIFY WAS GOOD 

"the show has mildly funky pacing: like “Girls” and “Looking” and “Louie,” it’s part of the new school of indie-inflected TV, a set of lyrical outliers that stop and start, using music and montages to suggest ideas without fully explaining them." 

YES 

"As a member of the tribe, Soloway is free to critique a certain generational strain of urbane self-obsession, one that merges self-love with self-loathing." 

SHOW IS GENERALLY VERY JEW-Y FOR SURE

Catcalling video: Hollaback's look at street harassment in NYC edited out the white guys.  

"He wrote, “we got a fair amount of white guys, but for whatever reason, a lot of what they said was in passing, or off camera” or was ruined by a siren or other noise. The final product, he writes, “is not a perfect representation of everything that happened.” That may be true but if you find yourself editing out all the catcalling white guys, maybe you should try another take." 

I DID WONDER ABOUT IT BUT I HAVE TO SAY WHEN I WAS A REDNECK KID LIVING IN CHICAGO AND TAKING THE L DOWNTOWN EVERY DAY, I WAS ASTOUNDED BY WHAT (BLACK) GUYS WOULD SAY TO WOMEN ... AND WHAT APPALLED ME WAS THAT NONE OF THE WOMEN (USUALLY BLACK) WOULD CHOOSE TO SIT NEXT TO ME, I ALWAYS HAD AN EMPTY SEAT ON BOTH SIDES (and I went to charm school!)

Beijing’s Subway Fare Reform: Good, But Not Good Enough | David Feng  

" a majority approved changes that would see starting fares a la Shanghai (CNY 3.— instead of CNY 2.—). The rates being proposed are not cheap! 

Starting fare: CNY 3.—, good for 6 km 
Mileage between 6 km and 12 km: CNY 4.— 
Extra CNY 1.— per 10 km for distances from 12 km to 32 km 
Extra CNY 1.— per 20 km for distances from 32 km onwards 
This is all way too complex, and no rider will have an idea how much money he or she will have at the end of the trip." 

STILL DIRT CHEAP

Katz’s Delicatessen: How the iconic deli stays in business against the odds.  

"The fundamental problem facing every remaining deli, Katz’s included, is that the gargantuan sandwiches for which they are known aren’t very profitable. Rather, they’re a legacy of the early 20th century, when brisket (used in corned beef) and navel plate (the fattier, bovine belly meat Katz’s uses for pastrami) were considered cheap trash cuts and hundreds of Jewish restaurants could compete for immigrant clientele with rock-bottom prices. But the days of inexpensive navel and brisket are long gone—thanks in part to the national love affair with Texas-style barbecue—and delis can only raise their prices so high before turning off customers."
