Or, if you prefer you can fly down a pore through which water molecules normally flow across cell membranes.” – How Minecraft could help teach chemistry’s building blocks of life

- “These fleeting online occurrences can make an already difficult grieving process even more complicated and bizarre—mainly because it’s more difficult than you might expect to decide, finally, what to make of these things, or what to do about them. My Street View discovery was the best, but it was also the worst. ” – The Ghosts in Our Machines
- “An article will contain a narrative about the event that is currently occurring but also will contain more evergreen information such as background context, key players, etc. But the reliance on the form of the article as the atomic unit of news means that all of that information has essentially been treated as ephemeral. ” – The Future of News is not an article

It is about masculinity, yes, but also about Britishness, about whiteness and about heterosexuality, about the loss of certainty in all of these in a changing world.” – The tragedy of James Bond
