Every so often, an idea comes along that is a real game changer. That shifts paradigms. That blows your freaking mind. It’s an idea that is certain to become a part of the cultural zeitgeist by blurring the lines between advertising, marketing, technology, and brain washing.
This is one such idea. And it will improve your creativity by at least 23%.

Rappers, sorted by the size of their vocabulary.
35,000 words covers 3-5 studio albums and EPs. I included mixtapes if the artist was just short of the 35,000 words. Quite a few rappers don’t have enough official material to be included (e.g., Biggie, Kendrick Lamar). As a benchmark, I included data points for Shakespeare and Herman Melville, using the same approach (35,000 words across several plays for Shakespeare, first 35,000 of Moby Dick).
I used a research methodology called token analysis to determine each artist’s vocabulary. Each word is counted once, so pimps, pimp, pimping, and pimpinare four unique words. To avoid issues with apostrophes (e.g., pimpin’ vs. pimpin), they’re removed from the dataset. It still isn’t perfect. Hip hop is full of slang that is hard to transcribe (e.g., shorty vs. shawty), compound words (e.g., king shit), featured vocalists, and repetitive choruses.
hide yo’ self .. they be snapchatting errbody’ up in here.
A high school teacher’s reaction to the latest Snapchat update.
In 16 years of teaching I can’t think of anything that has ever disrupted my classroom more than today’s @snapchat update.

Schroeder told Business Insider that while she’s usually “pretty lenient” about students using phones sparingly in class, yesterday’s Snapchat update was too much to handle:
Today was the first day in a long time I actually took phones away. I have no idea what all was included in the update, but you would have thought it was crack. They seriously could not keep away from it. I even had one girl crawl under the table with her phone.
At that point I took all the phones away and we had a little reminder chat about when it was appropriate to use your phone and when it was not. Also that it was rarely appropriate to hide under the table.

Love this idea.
Not all experiences are through an app and there really isn’t an app for everything.
More than 25 years after Jean-Michel Basquiat died of a drug overdose, at 27, his most devoted collectors, Lenore and Herbert Schorr, are sharing their treasures.
When I start romanticising any functionalist building because it reminds me of the Eastern Block
Here’s looking at you HSBC Building. So ugly it’s good.
This is the building that is being talked about:
Call me a hopeless romantic but when I hark back to the Eastern block, this building (Auckland Council) is a better marker of those days - in form, and function.
