“Sometimes she did not know what she feared, what she desired; whether she feared or desired what had been or what would be, and precisely what she desired, she did not know.”

A Photo Tour of San Sebastián

Once a great whaling port, San Sebastián was transformed into a splendid resort town in the mid-1800s, after the newly throned Queen Isabel II made the first of many visits there to plunge into the protected salt waters of the Bay of Biscay as treatment for a skin condition.

Greatest place on earth.

The Borowitz Report: A Letter to Verizon Customers

newyorker:

1. Will I be charged extra for this service?

I’m happy to say that the answer is no. While the harvesting and surveillance of your domestic phone calls were not a part of your original Verizon service contract, the National Security Agency is providing this service entirely free of charge.

OK Go: A Tiny Desk Concert In 223 Takes

We needed to figure out the best possible way to move NPR Music’s Tiny Desk from our old headquarters to our new facility just north of the U.S. Capitol. So we had OK Go perform “All Is Not Lost” hundreds of times, as we transported the Tiny Desk from one home to the other.

““A meritocracy is a system in which the people who are the luckiest in their health and genetic endowment; luckiest in terms of family support, encouragement, and, probably, income; luckiest in their educational and career opportunities; and luckiest in so many other ways difficult to enumerate — these are the folks who reap the largest rewards. The only way for even a putative meritocracy to hope to pass ethical muster, to be considered fair, is if those who are the luckiest in all of those respects also have the greatest responsibility to work hard, to contribute to the betterment of the world, and to share their luck with others.””
