Over two years ago Muck Rack launched the definitive list of journalists on Twitter. Now we’ve assembled a list of journalists on Google+ by going through the 500 most followed journalists we’ve verified on Muck Rack. It so happened 140 (an omen?) of those 500 were on Google+….

“You know, I’ve not been holding on for like 90% of the time.”

“Yeah, you pretty much know how to ride a bike now. Dude. This is HUGE. Congratulations! You don’t seem very excited though. Why’s that?”
“You know, lots of people who have Aspergers don’t like change. I need a little time to get used to this.”

In 2008, with over $14 billion in sales, antipsychotics became the single top-selling therapeutic class of prescription drugs in the United States, surpassing drugs used to treat high cholesterol and acid reflux.
Once upon a time, antipsychotics were reserved for a relatively small number of patients with hard-core psychiatric diagnoses - primarily schizophrenia and bipolar disorder - to treat...

americanmccarver:
Over the past five years I’ve heard people say “Oh, you’ll love it. It’s not REALLY about football.” I’m guilty of having said it myself a couple of times, in the hope that it would get my Whole Foods-shopping Prius-driving NPR-pledging friends over their fear that they might be caught…

Sorry about the multiple posts but Tumblr's acting...
My last post, via Instagram, didn’t show up in my mobile feed. So I posted again. Went to desktop site where they both showed up, but now won’t let me delete the duplicate.

Nice shirt though.

heinley:
I came across this quote today from an interview with Dieter Rams, legit design dude, who was quoting Corbusier.
“We don’t register the chaos; sometimes, yes, when we are in the middle of traffic or running late, we discover that everything is chaotic around us… —it’s what Corbusier used to say…

In the late ’90s, predating their web archive, The Onion ran an occasional column called “Walken in L.A.”. I can think of no better way to cap off The Fourth than with a link to his masterpiece on hot dogs:
When I make a movie, my hot dogs are my co-stars. If, in the
middle of a scene, I decide I want to consume a hot dog, I do so.
I waste the director’s time and...
