Interesting video for those just graduating/stuck in the daily grind.

The first two paragraphs of David Firestone's "How to Weaken a President" sort of nail it.

The first two paragraphs of David Firestone's "How to Weaken a President" sort of nail it.:

Republicans came up with all kinds of convoluted and made-up explanations for voting against gun background checks, and some are starting to do the same for the immigration bill. A few are even using the Boston bombing as an excuse. But for many lawmakers, the real reason is depressingly familiar. They don’t want to give President Obama anything he wants.

It doesn’t really matter how many business groups say the immigration system has to change, or how many suburban voters are disgusted by the easy access to guns for criminals. For these Republicans, the visceral hatred of the president is their only guiding star, and they are absolutely convinced the voters in their districts feel the same way.

A government in gridlock is a government that doesn’t work. (ht Connie Schultz)

““When the deepest part of you becomes engaged in what you are doing, when your activities and actions become gratifying and purposeful, when what you do serves both yourself and others, when you do not tire within but seek the sweet satisfaction of your life and your work, you are doing what you were meant to be doing.””

- Gary Zukav

Hoping this is why I chose medicine.

“Under current laws, if a background check reveals that your name is on the national terrorism watch list, you’re still free to walk out of a gun dealership with a firearm in your hands — as long as you don’t have a criminal or mental health record.”

Anna Kendrick | ‘Cups’ (New Radio Version)

With the success of the film ‘Pitch Perfect’ - rumor has it that Universal is releasing a new radio version of the fan favorite ‘Cups’ by Anna Kendrick to radio stations. This new edit has a sound very similar to Phillip Phillip’s ‘Home’ or some of The Lumineer’s music. It’s still catchy as ever and will probably find even more success now that it has a proper radio edit.

NICE.

““Your 20’s are your ‘selfish’ years. It’s a decade to immerse yourself in every single thing possible. Be selfish with your time, and all aspects of you. Think with shit, travel, explore, love a lot, love a little, and never touch the ground.””

Coldplay has been turning its audience into interactive participants at recent concerts by handing them Xylobands, LED-illuminated wristbands that can be activated using a radio signal. (x) (x)

YES. This concert was FANTASTIC.

humansofnewyork:

I think MLK was so effective because he balanced idealism with pragmatism. He captured the public’s imagination with lofty aims, yet focused his energy on small changes. I think it’s beautiful that our most celebrated social activist began by targeting the policy of a single city’s bus system. He changed the world by focusing on the problems in front of his face.

On this MLK Day, let’s remember to think big.

And keep our feet on the ground.

“Being a scientist requires having faith in uncertainty, finding pleasure in mystery, and learning to cultivate doubt. There is no surer way to screw up an experiment than to be certain of its outcome.”

How true this is.
