Mark Visser surfing a 35-foot wave at Jaws IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. Seriously, it’s 2:00am and he has submarine lighting technology strapped to his body with a wall of water behind him. Balls.

“It is my duty to study… the arts of legislation and administration and...”
– John Adams, in a letter to Abigail.

Thank god for John Hughes. Without him we would not have this documentation of what life was like for overprivileged white teenagers in the suburbs of Chicago in the 80s.
They were such angst-y times!
Ahh, the class struggles of high school/sometimes college. Will over-privileged Molly Ringwald end up with a lower class boy? Will underprivileged Molly Ringwald end up with an upper...

I think we should start giving people taglines.
Like, Ryan Gosling: He can wear a suit.
David Brooks on the new sciences of human nature
Help comes from the strangest places. We are living in the middle of a revolution in consciousness. Over the past few decades, geneticists, neuroscientists, psychologists, sociologists, economists, and others have made great strides in understanding the inner working of the human mind. Far from being dryly materialistic, their work illuminates the rich underwater world where character is formed...

I'm in the middle of the Doctor Who revival,
just ending season 2, to be exact.
David Tennant is absolutely fantastic. I have more than a little crush on him.
But the thing that strikes me most when I watch him is how gangly he is. Always throwing his feet up on desks, hopping up stairs, swinging around poles. I’d say he looked like he hadn’t grown into his body, but it’s more like he has. He has, and he loves it....
That moment when you're reading a book and you...

We once tried to convince our English teacher that we should get extra points on a test if we used the title of the book. Conveniently, this was right before we were to read Jane Eyre. (Worst book, by the way. I booed the trailer last night before Somewhere.)

How do you accept condolences on behalf of someone you hardly knew anymore? How do you explain she used to be your best friend? That you were the straight man to her wild child and that that tired routine quickly grew exhausting for the both of you? That you never saw her suicide coming because you hadn’t talked to her for weeks, or was it months, which doesn’t really matter as much as...
