A lovely summer weekend before the rain and the start of the ”rentrée”

A green park with tall trees is situated in front of a distinctive multi-story building.A person is holding two cans of Yeo's drinks, one lychee-flavored and the other soy bean, in front of a refrigerated display stocked with various beverages.A narrow street with modern, angular buildings on both sides and an arched structure at the end under a clear blue sky.A green iron bridge stretches over a canal beside modern buildings, with a mural and a café visible along the waterfront.A weathered brick wall features a wooden door and a street sign labeled ‘Rue de Crimée’ with a building in the background.A vibrant mural depicts a hand using chopsticks to pick up pieces of sushi, set against a graffiti-covered wall with barbed wire above.Two people wearing sunglasses are outdoors, with one pushing a stroller near wooden structures.A plate of fried appetizers with dipping sauce is set on a wooden table alongside glasses and someone preparing to eat with a knife and fork.A quiet street lined with classic European-style buildings basks in the bright sunlight under a clear blue sky.Urban landscape at sunset with buildings and trees against a colorful sky.

So far, after the first 3 episodes, #AlienEarth has been one really cool ride! Love that they’re expanding the world & universe of the show like that!

🔈🎸 The new All Time Low song “Oh No!" that dropped today is so freaking good! Can’t wait for the album to be released and to see them live this fall!

Honestly truly didn’t need a study to confirm this, but I guess it’s always good to have data to back up street-level facts…

A young man wearing earbuds reads a book while standing in a hallway with blurred people and posters in the background.

…The study did not answer the question of why Americans were reading less. But the authors suggested some possible explanations, including **increased use of social media **and other technology, or more time spent at work because of economic pressure.

The decline in reading could have implications for Americans’ learning, relationships and overall well-being, the researchers said.
“Even though reading is often thought of as more of an individual activity, when we read stories, we actually form connections with characters”

🏀

John Wall’s speed, with or without the ball, registered as a whole other thing, something uncanny and exhilarating and miraculous. (…) John Wall was fast more or less the way Steph Curry is good at shooting three-pointers. (…)

…The sound of the team’s in-arena announcer’s drawn-out JOHHHHHNNNNN WALLLLLLL is the backing track to some of the most fun I ever had watching professional sports in person. Basketball as a whole, too, benefited from having in it a guy who, for a time anyway, could break games more or less the way the Road Runner broke Wile E. Coyote’s traps, by sprinting straight through them at the speed of sound.
