Godmorgen. Håber du har haft en god dag i går og nu er klar til en frisk dag. Den lover jo smukt, jeg kan i hvert fald se ok med lys her fra mit vindue. Nu er der Morgenpost:
____________
Nyt nummer med Action Bronson. Jeg synes, han er god. Nummeret er med på hans nye plade, der kommer i næste måned.
____________
IKEA anerkender, at deres møbler kan være lidt svære at samle, og har skabt en række dårligt sammensatte plakatreklamer. Kløgtigt.
____________
Meet the rooftoppers
"The practice of scaling skyscrapers to take dizzying photographs has been hit by security crackdowns and arrests. Shouldn’t these thrill seekers have the right to take risks?"
Interessant artikel om urban explorers og deres (ulovlige) færden på toppen af byens tage.
____________
What does it feel like to kill someone?
"I don't recall when his eyes stopped moving, but they didn't close. He was still breathing, slower, but not trying, not here anymore. I realized his hand was completely limp at that point, more so than when you're just asleep. My internal dialogue just repeated over and over: You've had my back my whole life, and I've got yours until the end, and then finally, I'm really going to miss talking with you."
Vice har skrevet en artikel om, hvordan det føles at slå nogen ihjel. De har snakket med fire forskellige personer, der alle har det tilfælles, at de har liv på samvittigheden. Det er virkelig god læsning (og meget lidt makabert, FYI).
____________
How to live forever
"My secret to a long life has been staying away from men. They're just more trouble than they're worth. I also made sure that I got plenty of exercise, eat a nice warm bowl of porridge every morning and have never gotten married."
Verdens ældste kvinder om opskriften på at blive rigtig gammel.
____________
Love Advice from Three Old Dudes
"We speak to each other every morning. I got her an apartment next door to me. She has supper with me some nights. She cooks, I cook. My daughter cooks. We dance with each other when we go to parties or weddings. You love each other in a different way when you're older. I told my girlfriend, "If you're looking for marriage in this affair, it's not going to happen. I was married for 50 years and don't want anything to change that.""
Ok, så skal vi også lige have den fra mændenes side, men denne gang om kærlighed i en meget sen alder. Det er ret sødt.
____________
En timelapse af favelaer i Rio de Janeiro i 10K. Stærkt.
____________
The Guardian har samlet nogle af litteraturredaktionens favoritcovers. Virkelig smukke forsider.
____________
The Shape of Things to Come
"One morning at Apple’s headquarters, a few weeks earlier, Ive recalled how, in 1997, the company seemed to be dying around him. “Every story you’d read, every morning before coming to work, started with the phrase ‘The beleaguered computer maker, Apple,’ ” he said. Ive was then thirty; after five years at the company, he had become its head of industrial design. “There was a Wired cover that had a big Apple logo with a crown of barbed wire, as thorns, and underneath it just said, ‘PRAY.’ I remember this because of how upsetting it was. Basically saying: either it’s going to just go out of business or be bought.”"
Jeg indrømmer, at jeg endnu ikke har læst den, men The New Yorker har skrevet et laaangt portræt af Jonathan Ive, der med tiden er blevet Apples bedste varemærke.
____________
Og lidt mere New Yorker. Hvert år markerer magasinet sin fødselsdag ved at have en version af maskottet Eustace Tilley på forsiden. I år fylder magasinet 90 år, og så skal der selvfølgelig laves ni forskellige forsider. På denne side diskuterer forside-art director Francoise Mouly projektet. Det er sgu sejt.
____________
Og det var så alt for i dag. Tak for din tid. Pas på dig selv. Spis noget mere shawarma.
Peace.
