Gaza City zookeepers have found a creative way of drawing crowds to their dilapidated zoo – by painting their donkeys. The Marah Land Zoo’s only two zebras died of hunger earlier this year when they were neglected during the Israel-Hamas war. The popular animals were too expensive to replace, so the keepers decided to design a pair of donkeys with black and white patterns instead. Ahmad Barghouti says a professional painter used French-manufactured hair coloring to make the donkeys look like zebras.

„Retrevo discovered that those under 35 took the opportunity to tweet, text, and post to Facebook at times that might be considered inappropriate to an older generation. The most amusing statistic from this is, of course, the „after sex“ column—36 percent of under-35 users admitted to checking Twitter/Facebook/texts immediately after getting it on, while only 8 percent of those over 35 fell into this category.
It also turns out that men are twice as likely as women to engage in a post-coital social media update (honestly, we can’t even dream up an explanation for that one), and iPhone users are three times more likely to do so than BlackBerry owners. There’s no word on whether iPhone owners also fire up one of the many smoking-themed apps after sex.“

Der Begriff wird meistens mit dem Dresdner Elbtalkessel gleichgesetzt, zudem wurde – ebenfalls satirisch – der Begriff ARD als „Außer Raum Dresden“ interpretiert. Tatsächlich umfasste das „Tal der Ahnungslosen“ nicht nur das Dresdner Elbtal, sondern auch einen größeren Anteil Ostsachsens (insbesondere auch Teile der Oberlausitz) und Vorpommerns.
Here is a fascinating 3-D modelled flyby of Nazi Germany’s planned architectural makeover of Berlin. Hitler intended to establish a World Capital he called Germania (strangely, this is the Russian term for Germany) with some of the most colossal buildings ever conceived. The Volkshalle (People’s Hall) was designed by Hitler himself (read more about Germania’s planned monumental architecture here).

DIE ZEIT: Hat der von Ihnen festgestellte Wertewandel die ganze Gesellschaft erfasst?
Kruse: Unsere Studien geben exakte zahlenmäßige Antworten darauf nicht her. Aber es lassen sich einige Trends erkennen. Der kulturelle Wertewandel ist bei Frauen stärker ausgeprägt. Die Generation 50 plus wird noch etwas länger brauchen, um ihre Verhaltensgewohnheiten zu verändern. Der emotionale Wandel läuft dem konkreten Tun voraus. Und noch eines: Die junge, mit dem PC aufgewachsene Generation, die »digital natives«, wird sich vom Thema Auto nicht mehr so anfixen lassen wie frühere Generationen. Haben die Jungs erst mal aufgehört, Autoquartett zu spielen, ist die alte Bindung für immer hin.

Tesco has been accused of religious discrimination after the company ordered the founder of a Jedi religion to remove his hood or leave a branch of the supermarket in north Wales. […]
„They said: ‚Take it off‘, and I said: ‚No, its part of my religion. It’s part of my religious right.‘ I gave them a Jedi church business card.
„They weren’t listening to me and were rude. They had three people around me. It was intimidating.“ Jones, who has made an official complaint to Tesco, is considering a boycott of the store and is seeking legal advice.
Tesco said: „He hasn’t been banned. Jedis are very welcome to shop in our stores although we would ask them to remove their hoods.
„Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Luke Skywalker all appeared hoodless without ever going over to the Dark Side and we are only aware of the Emperor as one who never removed his hood.
„If Jedi walk around our stores with their hoods on, they’ll miss lots of special offers.“

Enrico Dini, Chef der britischen Firma D-Shape, hat mit seinem Team den größten 3D-Drucker der Welt entwickelt, der hausgroße Objekte am Stück ausdrucken kann.

Dyer describes the way that affective codes work “at the level of sensibility,”[17] by which he means, “an affective code that is characteristic of, and largely specific to, a given mode of cultural production.”[18] Non-representational codes, for Dyer, do have iconic resemblance, but it operates at the level of “basic structuration.”[19] The patterns of the artwork are analogous to the physiological patterns of sentience in the viewer.[20] Engaging the viewer’s perceptual system directly — within the codes and conventions of online production — OptiDisc is very present, functioning more like a felt sensation than a merely visual observation.[21]

Bin gerade durch Zufall auf die Agency for Unrealised Projects gestossen, ins Leben gerufen von Hans Ulrich Obrist & der Serpentine Gallery. Habe mich schon öfter gefragt, ob es so eine art „Friedhof der guten Ideen“ gibt – bzw, wie der aussehen könnte. Die Antwort liegt irgendwie auf der Hand: site under construction. Zu schön aber auch.
We used them to clarify the tone,

insecurity at the dawn of a new age.
But they died out as we got more confident, thank God.
Why are we talking about them now? Because they’re back.

Use a Tweet cheat sheet. When you’re new to Twitter, it can be intimidating to stare at a blank box waiting for you to fill it with 140 characters. Here are some topics you can tweet about until you get the hang of it:
- Current news as it relates to moms
- Something your child just said
- A one-liner on your life as a mom
- What you wish you were doing right now
- Your plans for today
