It's a few years old now, but this is great advice from Jay Smooth about keeping behavior and being separate in arguments. This advice doesn't just apply to conversations about race, I think it's good to keep in mind for any disagreement.

Lots of good advice in the thread too.

Jesse and Adam are back again talking about the benefits of dressing well for work with Paul Feig. It's relaxed and funny. They also added a great new segment with the blogger behind Nerd Boyfriend where she dissects a classic look and finds modern versions of the clothes. More nice work from Put This On.

I don't have an XBox, but this atmospheric game called Limbo looks like another fun design experience. It's the first console game I've seen in a while that I'd like to play:

(I found this last trailer via the consistently excellent video site Devour. Check it out if you haven't seen it. Looks great on an iPad.)
