And they had both faced harsh criticism. “There’s a lot of criticism about. You know what I’m talking about?” Bush said, looking Zuckerberg straight in the face.

Tired and emotional →
bestofwikipedia:
Tired and emotional is a chiefly British euphemism for being drunk. It was popularised by the British satirical magazine Private Eye in 1967 after being used in a spoof diplomatic memo to describe the state of Labour Cabinet minister George Brown, but is now used as a stock phrase, possibly because of British slander and libel law.
“Mr. Soros was in Toronto to accept his award as Globalist of the Year”

Now that’s an award!

Earlier this year like, what, a few months ago when everyone went bananas over Facebook getting in on this “segment”? Does cooling down mean “seeing increased rates of adoption and, as improbable as it might seem, clever ways to monetize”?
Oh, wait, I think I know....

Men now constantly read stuff off their cell phones while using public urinals. Will toilet makers gain big as venue owners get pressured to add capacity to offset protracted pee timelines?
Well, if nothing else I imagine these folks aren’t thrilled about this development
“Cars already exist,” said Mahfouda. “As a designer, the most responsible thing...”
– There’s a great piece about Weeels at Grist by Sarah Goodyear, which hits on a lot of reasons why smarter transportation is both desired and important right now, from the need for faster and more efficient ways to get around our cities to the need to cut back on waste.

War games! Always war games! These were already getting tiresome for most boys, but Adolf would always find someone to join in, especially if they were younger.

Four-year-old conjoined twins, sharing a linked thalamus:
Adding to the conundrum, of course, are their linked brains, and the mysterious hints of what passes between them. The family regularly sees evidence of it. The way their heads are joined, they have markedly different fields of view. One child will look at a toy or a cup. The other can reach across and grab it, even though her own eyes...
THE KEYS WERE RETURNED TO ME BY LARRY FROM THE IT...
It seems I managed to just drop them in the hallway?
(This was not achieved by looking at the contents of the USB drive)
Really just terribly stupid
I lost my keys, I am not sure how. I have a USB drive on my key chain, just in case I have to move a presentation file/to be cool. I don’t think there is anything stored on it that would give any nice persion who might happen to find my keys any way of contacting me. If I never find my keys I will be forced to conclude that the main reason (aside from losing them in the first place) is that...
