Sometimes, we just have to be happy with what people can offer us. Even if it’s not what we want, at least it’s something.
Just a reminder

Last Wednesday, June 15, thousands of Vancouver Canucks hockey fans gathered in their city’s Rogers Arena to watch the final game of the Stanley Cup playoffs against the Boston Bruins. After the Canucks lost and the crowds poured out into the streets, some fans began rioting, smashing storefront windows, looting, and overturning cars. The following day, many volunteers gathered in downtown Vancouver to help clean up and repair the damage. They wrote thousands of emotional messages on the plywood covering storefronts, sidewalks, and police vehicles — messages expressing anger at the rioters, pride in the city, and gratitude toward police and emergency workers. The spontaneous display of sentiment on these sheets of plywood appears to be important enough to the history of the city that the Museum of Vancouver will be saving them once they come down.

Some believe iPads and laptops are the key to reigniting U.S. education, but these are simply new tools in an old system.

Ten Bizarrely Mistaken Beliefs Americans Hold About Themselves →
Last week, the Gallup Organization released a poll showing that Americans, on average, estimate that one in four people in this country is gay or lesbian. If that number seems high, it’s not just you. Calculations of the population vary, but most recent surveys place the percentage of LGBT Americans at around 3.5 percent.
Curiously enough, Americans made this wild overestimation even before the era of Lady Gaga and Glee. In 2002, the firm asked the same question and found essentially similar results: the average estimate then was that 21 percent of men were gay and 22 percent of women lesbian. Moreover, estimates of sexuality aren’t the only place in which Americans have trouble with numbers or massively overstate the role of something they see as memorableWhy yes, heliocentricity is in here.
Lol, gotta love Americans
