When GoPro films will be able to be viewed/experienced in an oculus, I suspect filmmaking could be upended in really fun and interesting ways.

This Crazy Phone With Two Screens Is One Of The Coolest Gadgets I’ve Seen In A While
This Crazy Phone With Two Screens Is One Of The Coolest Gadgets I’ve Seen In A While
The YotaPhone 2 comes with both a regular screen and an E-Ink display, which means it can double as an e-reader and a smartphone.
This is clever, I’d love to see what the camera looks like on this screen.
The more I read from creationists, the more I think they’re not anti-evolution. They’re anti-some crazy version of it their pastor taught.

When I say “boys are dumb” what I really mean is “boys have been raised in a patriarchal society that forces them into masculinity that not only forces them to strip away valuable virtues from themselves, like patience and gentleness, but also forces them to view and treat women in unhealthy ways that devalues women as people and makes them into objects purely for a man’s benefit”
but it’s a lot faster to say “boys are dumb”
boys are pretty dumb.
This is a GIF of how I make coffee every morning.
Pour over for the win. I might also have to add some googly eyes to my grinder as well.

American painter Richard Estes has made a career out of fooling the eye. His canvases look like photographs — but they’re not.
“You can’t see my paintings in reproduction,” the 82-year-old artist says. That’s because, in reproduction, the paintings — especially his New York cityscapes from the late 1960s — look like photos. He’s called a photo-realist, or hyper-realist — an intense observer of the built environment. But he doesn’t paint the view from his apartment window.
“His window is a photograph,” says Jessica May, co-curator of Estes’ current show at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.
Estes uses photography as a starting point for painting. He goes out and takes dozens of photographs of the same thing from different angles — street corners, diners, reflections on plate glass windows — then he cuts, pastes and manipulates »
Walter is my cousin’s dog. He really has a thing for swimming.
That experience was goddamn magnificent. Was like a fairy riding it to battle.
The sound of the splashing ohh
This is the best. Dogs rule forever.

Why we’re reporting on Sony’s leaked info
What’s the difference between being the first to publish information from the leak and merely reposting it? The contents of the leak are already public; they’re just not in a very user-friendly format until a news outlet decides to amplify a piece of it. Which means, one could argue, that the press is merely drawing lines of best fit through a dataset. It could also mean that the press is essentially finishing what the hackers started.
It’s not a matter of whether Sony now “deserves” to be cyberterrorized or not, but rather whether the value of what we have learned outweighs how we learned it. We decided that it was important for you to know how the MPAA plans to influence how you experience the internet, and by extension, how they intend to shape the future of the information marketplace; we »

Solidarity against online harassment | The Tor Blog
We write tools to provide online freedom but we don’t endorse online or offline abuse. Similarly, in the offline world, we support freedom of speech but we oppose the abuse and harassment of women and others. We know that online harassment is one small piece of the larger struggle that women, people of color, and others face against sexism, racism, homophobia and other bigotry.
Communities that builds things can sometimes forget that their actions in creating the tool are not justified by the goals of the tool. It’s important the process of building tools for freedom of expression be informed by the same philosophical goals it’s aiming to empower other people to have. I’m happy to sign this, and I hope it will help tor, as well as the rest of the »
No one wanted to eat pizza before Roger Goodell
No one wanted to eat pizza before Roger Goodell
Late into the night on Sept. 10, executives in the NFL conference room brainstormed over ways to prove the commissioner wasn’t covering up for Mr. Rice. Pizzas arrived but no slice was taken until Mr. Goodell ate. He never did, and the slices turned cold in the box.
This proves two things. The culture at the NFL is clearly unhealthy, and it also proves I could not work at the NFL.
Young African-Americans are leading the Portland protests against police violence in Portland. But can they make a real difference?
Isaiah Spriggs, a 23-year-old in-school mentor at Franklin High School, leans across the table: “A lot of people are like, ‘What is marching going to do?’”
Waco replies, “What is doing nothing going to do?”
You gotta start somewhere.
