This Week

"It has been more than two years since Floyd Mayweather has been released from prison, and his behavior—and his attitude towards women—seems little changed from before. And yet the media continue to treat him gently and deferentially. The failure of the sports media to ask any of the questions raised by his conduct, let alone hold Mayweather responsible for it, only enables a pattern of behavior to continue." - The Trouble With Floyd Mayweather (IronMikeGallego for Deadspin)

"The thing about hipsters, beyond the fact that they’re a poorly-defined amorphous blob of young people who sometimes wear funny hats, is that they want the same thing as you."- Lousy goddamn hipsters help 90-year-old bar turn a profit (David Colon for Brokelyn)

"Horse may not stir the masses the way pop stars and presidents do, but in the span of three years, the account has developed a following as arguably the most beloved spam robot on Twitter."- Happy third birthday, @Horse_ebooks! (Adrienne LaFrance for Medium)

"While there is beauty in perseverance, and while there are, of course, some things you shouldn’t quit, some things that are more than worth the long and arduous journey, sometimes the best thing you can do, in stories as in life, is let it go, and give yourself the freedom to begin again."- A Brief History of Quitting (Michelle Richmond for Medium)

"For some baristas, the most memorable stories come simply from watching their regulars live their lives. 'There was a customer who would come in everyday,' Nieto told me. 'He was a clean cut guy—always in a suit. He asked me one day what was in the back room. I told him, ‘That’s our record room. You can go back there and listen to records while you have your coffee.’ He came in one weekend and just hung our there for hours playing rock-and-roll records. Then he started coming in all the time and hanging out back there just listening to records. I started noticing that he was growing his hair out. To make a long story short, within several months he had long hair and a long beard. That was the most awesome metamorphosis I ever saw.'"- Tales From Our Baristas (Craig Cavallo for Narratively)
