16 days left NYC public schools! Then I can finally relax for a few weeks. :D

Dear co-teacher,
If you are going to label objects in the room for which shape they are please know what those shapes look like. Do not label random buckets of Legos as “sphere.” Do not label cups as “rectangular prism.” Do not get mad when I move your labels so my students can learn what the actual shapes look like!

Is this for reals??

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday rejected the Corn Refiners Association’s bid to rename its sweetening agent “corn sugar.”

Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people.

Unlike most of the party games you’ve played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends.

The game is simple. Each round, one player asks a question from a Black Card, and everyone else answers with their funniest White Card.

And it is distributed under a Creative Commons license, meaning it is not only free to play, but remixing, and changing the game are more than just encouraged.

The official hard copy has been sold out for a while now, but a PDF of all the cards, and instructions distributed by the creators for making your own deck can be found here.

You’re welcome, and enjoy!

#omg it’s like angsty apples to apples

NO NO NO OKAY THIS GAME IS ACTUALLY THE BEST REAL TALK

I love this idea and I want this very badly.

Best game ever. I cannot recommend it enough.  

CAH?

FOREVER REBLOG.

25 abandoned Yugoslavia monuments that look like they’re from the future

“These structures were commissioned by former Yugoslavian president Josip Broz Tito in the 1960s and 70s to commemorate sites where WWII battles took place or where concentration camps stood. They were designed by different sculptors and architects, conveying powerful visual impact to show the confidence and strength of the Socialist Republic. In the 1980s, these monuments attracted millions of visitors per year, especially young pioneers for their ‘patriotic education.’ After the Republic dissolved in early 1990s, they were completely abandoned, and their symbolic meanings were forever lost. From 2006 to 2009, Kempenaers toured around the ex-Yugoslavia region with the help of a 1975 map of memorials, bringing before our eyes a series of melancholy yet striking images.”

Looks like Mitt Romney is running for President of the United States of “Amercia.”

In an embarrassing blunder, Romney’s campaign misspelled the word “America” on its new “With Mitt” iPhone app, launched Tuesday.

The app has a transparent skin that allows users to take a photograph and superimpose the slogan “A better Amercia” on the image.

The presumptive Republican nominee is taking heat on the Internet for the error.

“Whew, I hear Mitt’s updating that misspelled Amercia on his app. He’s just going with Untied States now,” read one tweet.

“Does Mitt Romney believe that Obama was born in Keyna,” another tweeter jabbed.
