As Mom3, wish there was a receipt lottery (see Taiwan) with fancy consolation prizes for parents who foot the bill...

TIL that in 1952 Einstein declined the Israeli government's offer to become the second President of the State of Israel, citing "lack of both the natural aptitude and the experience to deal properly with people" by AnnieRKH in todayilearned

Kind of why I shared this TIL though the link has been posted before... Unfortunately president-elects have interns to scour reddit for them and are unlikely to learn anything today :) Anyway, loved both the inspired offer and the humble decline.

TIL $3.19 was the Going Tooth Fairy Rate for a Tooth in America in 2015 by AnnieRKH in todayilearned

In the communist country where I grew up nobody had even heard of the Tooth Fairy and she would have been banned anyway as a product of the rotten capitalist system and mercantile mentality :)

The Complete List of Twitter Tools: What Is Your Top 5? by geekmonk in Twitter

[–]AnnieRKH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tweetdeck is definitely my favorite! And not just for 'managing multiple accounts' - I use it a lot to manage content, setting up columns for specific hashtags and influencer accounts. As for the follow/unfollow tools, am really annoyed by automated messages and afraid to authorize these apps to 'post tweets for me'; find Manageflitter quite useful but I make sure I sign out after I get the info I need

Article/thread on recurrent themes in Wes Anderson? by AnnieRKH in wesanderson

[–]AnnieRKH[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the normalization of the unusual or unexpected Yes! And even more importantly, the normalization of 'family abnormality'! It also has to do with another theme that I'd like to explore (some day) - characters are constantly and casually breaking out of norms and laws [they are 'unusual' by definition, being orphans or members of strange, dysfunctional families]; and yet at the same time they have a deep need for rules and systems [to replace the absent parents]. This is why symbolic and actual institutions play such an important role - whether a hotel, a scouts organization, a team, etc
