Help name a fur seal pup! The New England Aquarium took in this tiny fur seal pup months after he stranded on a California beach. He’s eating well and already playing with his trainers. But now he needs a name! Do you have any suggestions?

I put in my suggestion (‘Mark Wahlberg’)

I’m going to suggest Cameron Poe or US Marshal Vince Larkin

A great idea to connect the future with the past, seal your digital secrets with an old-school wax-sealing. The Top secret usb.

Super classy, and super brilliant.

Dark wings, dark tidings

About 69 % of our trash goes immediately into landfills. And most landfill trash is made up of containers and packaging – almost all of which should be recycled, says Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Edward Humes, (via nprfreshair)

I know, right?

And making methane powered electricity plants that sends power into the grid.

(via phantomphoner) Good point. There are currently about 500 such plants out of the over 10,000 landfills across the US. That is 5%. (via un)

But are less efficient than just burning the trash while also producing less methane.

Maybe I’m just a weirdo**, but I love eating alone in restaurants. (Preferably at the bar, preferably with a good book.) I guess I haven’t internalized the horrible social stigma of doing so. One of the best things about New York is that you can go somewhere and be around people and not have to talk to any of them! So if you happen to see me sitting at the bar with a glass of wine and a paperback, just avert your eyes and pretend not to notice, and I’ll continue to be oblivious to the ensuing waves of pity for my obvious desperation and loneliness.

** I realize that’s not entirely a hypothetical.

People who are worried about (A) eating alone in restaurants or (B) eating at the bar freak me out. 

Man, I go out of my way to plan evenings when I can go to a restaurant and either take up an entire booth and have the most leisurely of book readings with my (probably) 3 appetizers or go sit at the bar and read in a more appropriate amount of time.

Sometimes you gotta make an entrance.

Also BANANAS FOSTER!!! ARE THEY IN NEW ORLEANS?!?!?!

Everything Chris Klein Says in “The Legend of Chun Li”

In case you forgot that this exists, I’m reminding you. You know how some people have airbrushed shirts with the twin towers and 9/11 and NEVER FORGET? That’s how I feel about this. A tragedy that sticks with you. A tragedy that changes you forever.

Ed Ruscha, Miracle #64, 1975

From the National Galleries of Scotland:

This work is notably different from many of Ruscha’s works of the same period, most obviously in its exclusion of text. Yet Ruscha has created a bold image, with as much drama as his striking text works. A bright beam of light entering a black space has been created in pastel and zinc oxide, a whitening agent. An overall glow is created by the black pastel not being completely opaque, allowing the paper to shine through. In both subject matter and the title, there are obvious references to religion. However, it is also possible to relate the image to film, an important source of inspiration for Ruscha. He commented: “‘Hollywood dreams’ – I mean, think about it. Close your eyes and what does it mean, visually? It means a ray of light, actually, to me, rather than a success story.”

I find it interesting that this is about the Hollywood dream and it also looks like it could be a passing road divider line thingy (what do you call those?) because LA is such a commuter town.
