PBS Origins on Black pirates, specifically, why so many pirates named Black Caesar?<\/a><\/p>

The excellent K.C. Mead-Brewer has an excellent new story in The Rumpus about Rapunzel and the terror of moving to a new place, something I\u2019m familiar with lately (plus I need a haircut): \u201cRapunzel House\u201d<\/a><\/p>

Blistering flash from Kathy Fish in The Masters Review: \u201cPraise Rain\u201d<\/a><\/p>

Behind The Bastards this week on why the rent is so damn high: Part 1<\/a> | Part 2<\/a><\/p>

The \u201ccrime is up\u201d narrative drives me nuts, especially after some vengeful real estate dorks<\/a> conspired against Chesa Boudin<\/a>.

Another one for the Baltimore\/DC homies: Zach Lowe on the Washington Wizards\u2019 new cherry blossoms courts<\/a><\/p>

More NBA aesthetics, this year\u2019s City Edition jerseys<\/a> are out. Why the Bulls ever do white jerseys is beyond me. <\/p>
