David Lynch on how NOT to watch a movie (on a telephone!)

CRAZY AMAZING shot of the International Space Station in orbit. I want to go visit!
Sorry I don’t have more info on this pic—there wasn’t anything with it where I got it from on Tumblr.

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing solves problem of not being able to afford such a big city--take out 25% of it! Does this make any sense?
Detroit Mayor Dave Bing Plans to Keep City Viable by Bulldozing 25% of It, 10K Homes
Battered Detroit wouldn’t have to struggle to pay for services in the vast areas of the city that are essentially abandoned if they didn’t exist—so it’s going to bulldoze them. Mayor Dave

It’s always great to see an elected official freak out on the media (or anyone else who deserves it), but while the TV may be focusing on Massa, the actual *press* isn’t. There’s plenty of text-based coverage of politicians “doing
