"We have art in order not to die of the truth.": My dog is a behemoth. He is an American (U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!) Bulldog...

My dog is a behemoth. He is an American (U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!) Bulldog and weighs as much as a 12 year-old boy. It is wired in his DNA to be ferocious and imposing and a rock of strength. I love him, but he is possibly the worst security guard ever.
A conversation:

(After 15 minutes of watching…

This is hilarious. (x

Made me burst out in laughter.

You tell me why someone’s bottle is worth eighty dollars and mine’s worth two dollars. Do you get forty times the pleasure from it?

poptech: New York starts turning payphones into free Wi-fi hotspots The hotspots are initially coming to ten payphones in three of the boroughs and will be open to the public to access for free. You can see a list of sites here. Users just agree to the terms, visit the city’s tourism website and then they’re up and running. Currently, there are no ads on the service, but there could be in the future. The effort is part of the city’s larger goal of providing more digital inclusion for residents. And it’s also aimed at helping figure out the future of the city’s payphones, which are a source of complaints from many residents because they attract crime or are just plain ugly. The payphones have been outfitted with “military grade” antennas, that provide service up to 300 feet away. The $2,000 installation is being provided for free by Van Wagner Communications, which owns many of the city’s payphones. The plan is to eventually spread the Wi-Fi hotspots to more of the city’s 13,000 payphones with the maintenance and ongoing costs paid by the payphone companies.

newyorker: Abortion has been a flashpoint of American politics for so long that it can be wearying to think about it. There is always a temptation to think that it will, somehow, fade away as an issue. But it doesn’t and it hasn’t. And, in 2012, abortion remains—more than ever, in fact—the biggest and clearest difference between Republicans and Democrats. The G.O.P.’s Abortion Problem: http://nyr.kr/N3Rcjf
