Undermining the learning process
Jas: Can we just get through this book?
Kid: I'm thirsty. I need a drink.
Me: I left my Cranberries CD in the quad. I have to get over there before someone snags it.

Speaking at a fashion industry event, Tumblr... →
shortformblog: Fashion is one of the platform’s most-popular industries, and they just got another major brand on the service today: Calvin Klein. Karp gave the keynote at the Decoded Fashion one-day conference. Next question: When will end-users get access to such analytics? I would call it shocking that Tumblr made the announcement that it will begin serving ads before being able to deliver...

Texas Couple Finds Foul Ball-Snatching Charges... →
inthefade: APOLOGY FROM MICHAEL KAY LOL. It wasn’t even a “real” caught foul ball! It was a foul grounder tossed into the stands! By a thoroughly mediocre player! In the late innings of a semi-blowout in April!  What the hell were they going to do with it, put it on their mantle? It is basically the worst conversation piece ever. Unless it is an historic homer...

Hey neighbor, please think long and hard before you go for that ride across the river at sunset. I am sure it is beautiful, but when it is time to come home it will be dark and I will have VIRTUALLY NO WAY OF SEEING YOUR GODDAMN HORSE; and also WHERE THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT ME TO GO ON THE GODDAMN BUDDY COLLINS MEMORIAL BRIDGE WHEN YOU ARE SWERVING AROUND THE DOUBLE YELLOW BECAUSE YOUR GODDAMN...

– Our Editor-In-Chief Tina Brown writes that “any discussion of a ‘woman’s role’ has become a cultural third rail” in this week’s editor’s letter. Our cover story, if you’ve perhaps missed it. (via newsweek) cul·tur·al third rail: 1. A cliche way to express admiration for one’s supposed...

– National Review writer Jonah Goldberg • Throwing his fellow National Review writer under the bus for his most recent article, which is, to put it mildly, the worst article to be written on race in a long time. Gawker puts it best: “It’s baffling—how can such an ill-conceived work of unadultered...

skybarn: Maybe, in the future, no one who has held elected office in Massachusetts should be allowed anywhere near the presidency. Wait, Elizabeth Warren! Based on the little I know, I sort of hope she is president someday. Or do you distinguish between “in Massachusetts” and “representing Massachusetts”? (OK, I’ve totally put her cart ahead of the...

So when Marty McFly changes the past thus affecting all subsequent events, the physical artifacts from those subsequent events (newspapers, photographs, low resolution faxes from 2015) are altered to match the new reality. But why doesn’t Marty’s BRAIN change too? WHAT ABOUT HIS BRAIN?!?!
