Free Wifi Tattoo?
"Did your tattoo say 'free wifi'?" asks a 21-year-old Craigslister of a girl he saw on the L train, adding that he "would really like to know."
Jizz Artist Will Wash Up
Remember Dash Snow, downtown it-boy artist who worked in the "Jizzing all over on NY Post headlines" motif? Yes well, he's been keeping busy making these: $62 limited edition t-shirts reading "LEFT ALL WASHED UP." Exactly as you would have guessed. [WeSoldOut via Animal]

Like a Hipster Silence of the Lambs
"Hello, Dad," begins Nate Hill, the leader of the Chinatown Garbage Tour, which encourages participants to build "monsters" out of dead animal parts found in the trash. "I thought you might like this piece that I made because it looks like African art, and I know how much you love African art." He then shows us the "head" part of "the E.V.E. Project, the life size female human being that I'm currently sewing together. It should be complete around September." Happy Father's Day!

When a Hipster Bar Becomes a Prison
Seriously, how wasted do you have to be to get locked in a Williamsburg bar? Pretty wasted! "Really wasted but super nice," one of the Trophy Bar's bartenders tells the New York Times. Anyway, he passed out in the bathroom around 4a.m. and everyone went home. He called multiple people for help, but they were total assholes about it:More »
The Family Of Man
How do you get 761 responses from the denizens of hipster messageboard Williamsboard.com? By asking them to "post the most recent picture you have of yourself." Interestingly, every single picture is totally unique. [Williamsboard]

Williamsburg Activity Guide Leaves Off 'Hating Everyone'
At least three staff members of the New York Observer live in Williamsburg, the Brooklyn neighborhood where every description was already a cliché like, ten years ago, dude. And they're determined to parlay their job at a somewhat relevant media outlet into some easy hipster sex this summer. So today they put together a long and infuriating package about living the post-college high life in "Williamsburg College." The two theses of the story are "Williamsburg does not blow!" and "it's not that different from college anyway." Only one of which is true. More »

Hipster Kickball Splittists Form Their Own Teams
From one of our kickball moles: "bklyn kickball was fun [last night]. i actually overheard a rumor that someone from Gawker must be on one of the teams, how else could they always know so much. maybe there will be a witch hunt! everyone was talking about the macy's pirate arrestee, again. no fights in my games, just some good old fashioned arguing and yelling at the umps. the styro-beers from Turkey's Nest were delicious as always... now, it seems there's some people left out, and they're turning to other leagues (gasp!) and forming their own teams... i guess what's great about it is that these kids are turning to their own resources outside of this exclusive Brooklyn league. they're almost like dissidents. if this was Singapore, they'd be jailed."

City Blog Comments Degenerate Into Lynch Mob
Gothamist.com, the NYC news-about-town blog, today posted a straightforward item about a 19-year-old woman who was raped in her apartment building in Soho last night. They described the suspect: "a black man, about 5'8" and 200 pounds, with a possibly pockmarked face, and he may be between 20-30 years old." Now, we were under the impression that Gothamist's readers are mainly drawn from the broad hipster demographic. So either our impression is way off, or many hipsters are thinly-veiled racist fucks (somewhat true, actually). Because the comments quickly turned into a call to throw black men off buildings: More »

Is Your Stationery Cool Enough?
Tired of seeing all those "cool" brand collaborations like "BAPE X FRESHJIVE X PUMA RAZOR T SHIRT WITH THREE LOGOS, $55," etc.? Well now collaborations are coming to the common folk! Cool hipster hip cutting edge Japanese retailer Beams is teaming up with your favorite store, 7-11, for a collabo-branded pack of stationery. We quote: "The latest collaboration by Japanese select shop Beams is with 7-Eleven, producing a stationery collection that includes pens, sketchbooks and sticky notes." Because co-branded stationery is not just a Tokyo thing any more. [Monocle via Hypebeast]

"Public Fighting is For Everybody"--Even Hipsters
And I Am Not Lying reports on a public Fight Club-type affair in Union Square last Friday, drawing a large crowd: "All kinds of people: old people, moms with strollers, skateboarding teens, foreign tourists throwing Euros around... A number of shirtless, scraped-up men paced the perimeter of the circle, alternately refereeing and answering questions. The rules were simple: find a partner, get in the ring. No face shots, tapping out ends the fight. No settling scores, just fighting for the fun of fighting." Our favorite fight? Two skinny hipsters! The accompanying video is sort of like watching a cockfight, if the cocks were scrawny, bobbing chickens. Which one will defend my honor at Hugs? [And I Am Not Lying]

Gay, Hipster, Yuppie Condo Party Degenerates Into "Shitshow"
At a new condo in the East Village in NYC, a volatile mix of summer weather, a rooftop pool, gays, hipsters, and wealthy young hedge fund yuppies conspired to form a party that resulted, predictably, in drinking, drugs, debauchery, and defecation. Disasters of this type never happened when all members of various disparate cultural groups stayed neatly separated from each other, in neighborhoods segmented by class, wealth, race, and sexual preference. A Curbed tipster gives a brief glimpse into this dangerous world in which ubiquitous money obliterates traditional social boundaries and brings together GayHipYups in search of intoxication: More »

Hipster Kickballer Distracted by Missed Connection Cutie
Aww! The weekly hipster kickball saga in Williamsburg is bringing people together, sort of. A sad Craigslist poster implores a certain cute with bangs to stop showing up on game days: "you're far too distracting." (Click to enlarge.)

Which Stripster Dude Would You Hit It With?
Hello! It's not fair that girls are the only ones photographically exploited on this website on a daily basis. Luckily, there's a whole herd of guys, from Junk Mag's photographer Brad Walsh, lined up and ready to take their clothes off. Stripsters? Whatever you want to call them! So we're going to vote on the cutest! Here's how voting works: photos are technically SFW. Also: it doesn't matter if they're your type or not. Just pick one. Pretend they're the last men on earth, if skinny tattooed dudes aren't your type. Pretend it's 3 a.m. and you're at Duff's. More »
