In bed that night I invented a special drain that would be underneath every pillow in New York, and would connect to the reservoir. Whenever people cried themselves to sleep, the tears would all go to the same place, and in the morning the weatherman could report if the water level of the Reservoir of Tears had gone up or down, and you could know if New York is in heavy boots.
— J.S. Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

The internet loves this photo (and so will you)
It shows people waiting to catch a glimpse of actors in gangster biopic Black Mass arriving for the film's premiere at the Corner Theatre in Brookline, Massachusetts.
It may look fairly innocuous, one of hundreds or thousands of similar photos to be taken of cheering crowds, who could have been waiting in line to be seeing pretty much anything. But this weekend it went massively viral. Why? Take a closer look at the woman third from the left in the foreground.
Did you see it?
She is the only one in the photo not looking at her phone.
Other people praised the woman for "actually taking the moment in", instead of living life through the lens of a smartphone.
✔️A timely reminder to live for the moment.
Look at the bright side.. At least Mondays only happen once a week. Have a good day!
