Now You’re A Man of the Day: It was 1992, he’d commissioned a custom screen-printed Madonna dress shirt, and it was his Bar Mitzvah — really, what could Shaun Sperling have done except bust a move to “Vogue”? 

No surprise here — Sperling grew up to be a gay activist and lawyer in Chicago.

thedailywhat:

Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: Ten-year-old Elijah Porter was ecstatic when Canada’s 4x100m relay team won bronze in London.
Then the team was disqualified for running outside the lane, and Elijah, devastated, wanted to help ease the pain for runners Justyn Warner, Gavin Smellie, Jared Connaughton, and Oluseyi Smith.
So he sent them a letter:

Dear Justyn, Gavin, Jarred [sic], and Oluseyi,
I’m Elijah Porter. I’m ten and I live in Newfoundland, Canada. When I heard what happened on Aug. 11, I knew it was wrong. The rules were not right. But, at last, I realized how good you were. We’re Canadians. We persevere. We create better lives for each other. The cold didn’t stop us from living in the north. We didn’t lose the War of 1812. We adapt and survive. We have earned our freedom. Someday, if I become a biologist, if I get rich, and, if I remember, I will donate money to the summer and winter Canadian Olympians. I hope you like the medal!
Elijah Porter

Elijah included with the letter his medal from a soccer clinic sponsored by Tim Hortons.

Does anyone else ever make tomato soup, pour in some goldfish, and then narrate in their best David Attenborough voice?
“Ferrous pollutants accumulated in the water to the point that the river now runs rust, and the fish whose habitat it was are now dying in vast numbers.”
Just me, then?
