Pensavate che il problema fosse Facebook? Non avete visto ancora niente, dice Doc Searls, perché il vero problema è che tutto il mondo dell’editoria digitale funziona così. Tutti i giornali. Tutti i siti. E ne vedremo delle belle.

Two volumes of found amateur photographs show early and midcentury German women posing in trees. Idra Novey wonders what might lay behind their expressions of canned mischeviousness.

What studies reveal about the good and the bad of loving a sports team
I governatori non se li ricorda nessuno (forse). Eppure cambiano la realtà delle cose. In questo caso, l'attuale governatore della California Jerry Brown è veramente mitico (e questo articolo spettacolare).
Money quote: "Brown turns 80 in April. First elected in 1974 at the age of 36, he was one of the youngest governors in California’s history; today, he holds the distinction of being its oldest. What’s left of his hair he wears buzzed close to the scalp, his thick eyebrows gone to white. He cultivates the look of a professor emeritus — striped Oxford shirts and crew-neck sweaters, dark boxy suits and black slip-on loafers. A Fitbit adorns his left wrist. His face, thicker now, has lost its boyishness, and there is a scar on his nose from a procedure he had to remove a cancerous growth. His gaze, though, remains unchanged, by turns puckish and withering."

Money quote: "When citizens of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union in June 2016, most observers were stunned. The polls had predicted a victory for the “Remain” campaign. And common sense made it hard to believe that Britons would do something so obviously contrary to their self-interest. But neither common sense nor the polling data fully accounted for a crucial factor: the new power of social platforms to amplify negative messages."
