💥 Read this trending post from The New Yorker 📖 📂 Category: Culture / Screening Room ✅ Main takeaway: One of the promotional images for "Two People Slobbering" is a black-and-white close-up of a woman, her face bruised, her nose bleeding, her eyes droopy with ecstasy. What are we to make of the feelings this woman arouses in us: the reflexive response to distress, and then to the more cultured, and therefore repressed, curiosity? What can hurt well? The film is a tale of intimacy and consumerism set in a dystopian version of Paris where romantic touch, especially a kiss,…

💥 Discover this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 Category: ✅ Here’s what you’ll learn: Cloudflare, the CDN provider, suffered a massive outage today. Some of the world's most popular apps and web services were left inaccessible for serveral hours whilst the Cloudflare team scrambled to fix a whole swathe of the internet.

The strange and changing role of the NFL punter

✨ Explore this trending post from The New Yorker 📖 📂 Category: Sports / The Sporting Scene 💡 Key idea: During a typical game, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Ethan Evans is synonymous with disappointment. All gamblers. No fan cheers when their team's players run down the field facing fourth-and-long. His job is to concede the ball, get the ball back into the opposing team's control, and put them in the worst possible position. Gamblers, historically, have had a somewhat shady reputation, with their uniforms not stained with grass. When a punter was drafted in the third round of the 2012…

🚀 Read this trending post from The New Yorker 📖 📂 Category: Magazine / Takes ✅ Key idea: As girls, we may find it difficult to imagine our mothers - especially if they were strict Caribbean mothers - as anything other than the poised ladies who were determined to mold us. We struggle to imagine that they were little girls, flying kites, climbing trees, and playing hopscotch and marbles with their siblings. As mothers, some of us are so afraid for our daughters that we issue long lists of instructions that we hope will protect them from a hostile and…
