Perhaps the best illustrated public intellectual type speech I’ve ever seen.

“Who Profits From the Poor”

“The poor pay more for everything.” Or, as DeNeen L. Brown put it, “You have to be rich to be poor.”

"It’s okay to not be looking at what everyone else is looking at all of the time."

Life is like a box of chocolates

Some people enjoy the really gross pieces.
Your dog could get really sick off of it.
It’s a lazy gift at best.
Is this leftover from Valentine’s Day? Jesus. Come on.

Kurt Braunohler raised $6,000 on Kickstarter to “hire a man in a plane to write stupid things in the sky.”

Perfect.

New frontiers of skywriting right here.

This is still one of my favorite things.

Myths, Misconceptions, and Superstitions About Spiders

Wed, 15 May 2013 09:24:25 -0400

Myths, Misconceptions, and Superstitions About Spiders:

Myth: Some spiders are deadly.

Fact: There is no spider species anywhere that can properly be called “deadly.” Obviously, a few people have died from spider venom, but I know of no species anywhere on earth capable of causing death in humans in as much as 10% of cases, even if untreated. If the person bitten obtains medical aid, death from genuine spider bite (“mystery bites” falsely blamed on spiders don’t count) is almost unknown in North America and a decided rarity worldwide.
