Here, we must leave pure economics and ponder the toxic effects of too much wealth, too much power, and the new culture of American investment banking. Let us consider, for example, Jimmy Cayne. For those who might find what follows just slightly difficult to believe, I invite you to Google a phrase along the lines of “Jimmy Cayne helicopter Plaza Hotel bridge golf megalomaniac marijuana.”

The Morning Glory cloud is a rare meteorological phenomenon occasionally observed in different locations around the world. The southern part of Northern Australia’sGulf of Carpentaria is the only known location where it can be predicted and observed on a more or less regular basis. The settlement of Burketown attracts glider pilots intent on riding this phenomenon.

How To: Build An Awesome, High-Flying, Dirt-Cheap Rocket out of Stuff Lying Around the House(via @Gizmodo)

“Sometimes the whole,” wrote Aristotle, “is more than the sum of its parts.” Like, say, macaroni and cheese, or gin and vermouth. Pair the right two things together and the emergent combination is awesome.

Archie Burnett’s commentary to “The Complete Poems,” which aims to be exhaustive, is sometimes exhausting. In his notes on “The Whitsun Weddings,” for example, he draws attention both to John Osborne’s rather persuasive argument that the poem is in dialogue with Eliot’s “Waste Land” and to the gossip from one of Larkin’s colleagues at the Hull University Library that Larkin had told him that the line “I took for porters larking with the mails” contained “a punning reference to a student, Miss Porter, whom he professed to lust after.” No direct mention is made by Burnett of the pun, in “larking,” on the poet’s own name, or the possibility that the “porters” may just as readily refer to “Mrs. Porter and her daughter” from “The Waste Land.”

Philip Larkin, master poet, hero.

“We thought we’d showcase the fantastic new poster campaign from theBerlin PhilharmonicOrchestra – simply because we wish more advertising campaigns were this creative and high quality in their delivery. Their marketing department have created a series of macro photographs, shot inside the actual interiors of the musical instruments themselves. If you’ve ever wondered what the inside of trumpet or violin looks like – all is revealed. The premise of the campaign is to make you feel included and part of the musical experience, literally inside and out. We personally never thought that the inside of this musical devices would be so beautiful, warm and welcoming. Brilliant concept and we’re sure you’ll agree, wonderfully executed.” du holde Kunst, ich danke dir dafür #love
