“Watching a lot of television shortens your lifespan. A big new study out of Australia says for each hour of TV you watch over the age of 25, it takes 22 minutes off your life, at the end of life. Put in another way, one researcher said this puts TV in the same category as smoking and obesity. It can speed up a premature death by five years, if you’re a dedicated TV...

look what youngjerks has been making! they’ve curated a project called fifty and fifty, which:
…attempts to construct a handsome new way of looking at our country. fifty designers, one per state, will illustrate their state motto, creating something steeped in history but completely modern and unique: a kind of designer’s atlas.

what a great idea! clever and compelling ad campaign “become someone else” by lithuanian agency love. as they explain:

smitten with this island i saw in Dwell, and Abbey over at aesthetic outburst put it best:
