I would have thought sunglasses inside Target would draw attention, not deflect, but I guess not. That and having AP photographers following you. http://tumblr.thedailywh.at/post/10821790025/fi...

Magic mushrooms are magic. http://sjot.it/phiHRA

Glow in the dark cats aren't quite as cute as I expected, but they may fight AIDS. I wonder what a day in the life of a glow-in-the-dark lab cat is. I hope it's nice and not super lab ratty. http://sjot.it/r3Zen1

Usually it's annoying when weather warnings are written in all caps, but this seems appropriate: FILL THE BATHTUB WITH WATER IN CASE THE TAP WATER  BECOMES UNAVAILABLE AFTER THE STORM. THIS IS FOR CLEANING AND  FLUSHING PURPOSES. DO NOT DRINK IT.

A planet made of diamonds, you say? I've seen that movie! Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Brite_and_...

Ah. "Because Earth's crust on the East Coast is not as fractured as in California, there are fewer faults to break up the seismic energy. The result is that the quake is felt over a much wider area." http://lat.ms/p69y6x

Awwww...volunteer flower girls in Brooklyn today. http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2011...

Everything is broken. "Long-term authority for the FAA expired in 2007. Unable to agree on long-term funding legislation for the agency, Congress has kept the FAA operating through a series of 20 short-term extension bills." http://t.co/YpiZfPy

True story of unexpected horror: http://t.co/wvGPMz0 "I want to reassure the public that, as disturbing as it is to think about being in the pool, there are really no health risks associated with [a dead body in the pool for 2 days]"

I keep thinking those headlines about fracking are cursing at me in a pg fashion. I guess they kind of are.

From the Wall St Charging Bull yarn bomber: "The street is an extension of the gallery. Not everyone’s work deserves to be in public.” http://nyti.ms/mLoAI0. Funny thing to read on the same day as @ninaksimon's blog entry: http://bit.ly/iGbAlX

Police can now enter homes without a warrant if they smell marijuana on grounds that drug evidence is being destroyed. The ruling stems from a 2005 case concerning a crack-cocaine sting operation. That makes sense. I feel safer. http://t.co/va9VN24

Actress found mummified in her home, may have died as much as a year ago. How does that happen??? Maybe the space heater mummified her faster, but how long does it take for mail in a box to yellow? Something doesn't add up. http://lat.ms/jFSFgj

People are strange creatures: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/05/the-r...

"They gorged on pork pies in the park, and drank bitter Pimm’s and Lemonade. Why? Because that’s how the British have fun." http://t.co/yFK9ly0

The royal wedding coverage is surprisingly compelling. It's like a dressed up history lesson. TV news coverage could make watching grass grow interesting. "In 1924 there was a chipmunk infestation and they had considered replacing the yard with sod."

Hmmm, I think if this were true, I would never cough: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6699-pers... (via boingboing via amanda palmer)

SFMTA posted pics of the 1906 earthquake on Flickr. Wow. http://uptownalmanac.com/2011/04/sfmta-releases...

"We want the corner office as much as we want clean water to drink." Hmmmm... http://t.co/TRneesd

Why are severe weather advisories written in all caps? So hard to read.

Great typo: "In stark contrast to those of Murdoch’s existing American papers,The Daily’s politics will be centrist and pragmatic—Bloobergian, if you prefer—according to people close to the project." http://shar.es/3W42e/

States now have to illicitly acquire the drug they use to lawfully kill people. Probably too much to hope it means the end of the death sentence, but at least it might prevent states from enforcing it for a while. http://bit.ly/hyoJnU
