Bad times, hard times - this what people keep saying; but let us live well and times shall be good. We are the times. Such as we are, such are the times. — St. Augustine
This has got to be one of the funniest product explanation videos I’ve seen - in it, Kumail Nanjiani explains how the new Jet shopping club works.Side note: the idea of Jet is intriguing, and seems like online shopping is evolving.

Okay, this is amazing: paper 2.0 with Near Field Computing. Tap the card to load contact details, launch a video call, bring up a playlist, and more.Those folks at Moo were already cool, and their new Paper+ product just kicked it up to a whole other level.
Okay, so I really like this table. It moves, and yet it’s calming and balanced. It has energy, but is well directed. Now, if only it weren’t $2,500.(via Apex 64" Round Dining Table in Apex Collection | Crate and Barrel)

Fast and Slow do more than just describe a rate of change. They are shorthand for ways of being, or philosophies of life. Fast is busy, controlling, aggressive, hurried, analytical, stressed, superficial, impatient, active, quantity-over-quality.

It is about making real and meaningful connections— with people, culture, work, food, everything. The paradox is that Slow does not always mean slow. —

“Prayer in C” by Lilly Wood & The Prick.I don’t know what it is about this guitar melody and vocal that is just entrancing. I hit replay many times.It later got remixed by Robin Schulz to an electronic version, which is equally fascinating and carries a different but neat energy altogether. And I found Jean Blanc remix that sounds pretty cool too.
These Planned Parenthood videos speak for themselves. Things like, “If we alter our process, and we’re able to obtain intact fetal cadavers [to sell]…”And if you want to dig further and see the unedited versions and interviews with other PP leaders, just follow this link.We’re past ideology, this is biology.
Posting just because I like this. :)
