#can we just appreciate the fact that the Queen agreed to be a BOND GIRL just for one night?

What I think is totally awesome is that Daniel Craig said that the Queen was supposed to look up straight away, but she improvised the letter writing and completely blanked him, so the awkward standing there was completely realisitic. The Queen ignored James Bond because she was ACTING.

You hear that? Our Queen is not just a Queen she is an actress, Bond girl, has tea and scones with Ten, and hired Sherlock Holmes.

Our Queen > whoever the fuck runs your country 

Should I point out that the Queen doesn’t actually run the country? Still a cool little tidbit though.

Just read it. Absolutely beautiful.

“This is how you healthcare. It’s care of those clinging to life and care of those spinning and reeling in their orbit, struggling to adapt to life in a new airless atmosphere, a place with its own physics. There’s no division. At one end, there is a malfunctioning heart, so you give it the right dose of the right drugs. At the other end is an exhausted relative, so you give her toast.

By now I am convinced that the NHS – and I hyperbolise, but only slightly – is the greatest achievement of humankind, the nearest we get to a benevolent deity, a goddamn superhero. It is an imperfect manifestation of a beautiful ideal – free care based on need, free care for all, without judgement, without reservation.”

How’s the air up there?

Urban Air is an experimental bamboo forest high above a Los Angeles freeway. 

Surrounded by concrete, bad drivers, and worse advertising, the LA commute feels like the ultimate environmental disconnect. Urban Air seeks to subvert that daily alienation — one billboard at a time. The idea is pretty simple: Take disused billboards, remove the commercial facade, and install a living, breathing cloud forest of bamboo.

Time to reclaim the asphalt jungle and score one for the trees — it’s our Project of the Day.

There should be more projects like this in the world.

How cool is this? This guy wrote a bot that buys him random items from Amazon.com up to a predetermined budget. I don’t think I’d be able to spend real money on truly random stuff, but it’s a cool idea.

Hi. I’m Darius Kazemi. Recently I’ve been making a bunch of weird stuff that randomly generates things. For example, there’s the Twitter account @metaphorminute, which tweets a random metaphor every couple minutes. There’s also OutSlide, which generates a slide deck from an outline that you…
