I’ve always enjoyed when bloggers make posts of links they found interesting on the internet. After all, isn’t the distribution of information the point of the internet? These links brought me to places I wouldn’t have otherwise found on my own.
How metropolitan these bloggers are, I thought, that they check out all these different publications and share the best of the best!
The links displayed here, at least for the time being, are all found by me by way of my internet habits: Tumblr, email newsletters, crazy memes shared on The Squad’s groupchat, you name it. My theme is “The world is a curious place, might as well share it.”
Dogs are good and pure and everything you could possibly want in a pet. Some are intelligent, some are . . . not. Madison Magazine published a list of the 19 least intelligent dog breeds on their website, and every last one is such a good dog, yes they are!
I am a fan of Mincing Mockingbirds, a series of painted birds with oddball captions like the one featured here. The artist behind these magnets is Matt Adrian, a painter based in California, whose website features a lot more bird paintings with the best titles ever. My personal favorite: “Writing Novels Solely for the Dedication Page Drama.” The rest of his website is worth browsing too, if only for the humor behind everything.
Hedy Lamarr was an actress and communication technology pioneer. She was also Hollywood’s secret weapon. Smithsonian.com spoke with movie director Alexandra Dean about Lamarr’s legacy.
This news may be from last November, but the charm is not. BBC News reported last year that cockatoos chewed through $1000 worth of broadband cable in Australia, making the country’s already slow internet speed even slower. Darn birds, amirite?
Maintaining an image to keep family off your back is a pain, but several companies in Japan allow you to hire an actor to pretend to be your boyfriend, girlfriend, fiance or, in this particular case, the fake father of a teenage girl. The Atlantic speaks with one such actor, and it’s as fascinating as it is disturbing.
THIS MONTH IN SPACE saw the passing of Stephen Hawking, known for his revelations about the universe and sense of humor. He died peacefully on March 14 and will be missed by the scientific community at large. According to Science Alert, his final resting place will be Westminster Abbey in London.
We finish things with a fun video, because the internet is too large to not share at least one. This month we feature Star Wars as a silent movie. May the force be with you.
