8 New and Necessary Punctuation Marks. Stupid Calculations. The 5 Best Tumblrs for Foreign Policy Nerds - By Elizabeth F. Ralph. Monday's news that struggling Internet pioneer Yahoo!
Bought popular blogging site Tumblr inspired us to find the best foreign policy-related Tumblrs -- loosely defined -- on the ‘net. Several great ones that have come and gone deserve a mention, including the one-time-only Vladentines Day and the sadly obsolete but viral Texts From Hillary, but we chose to focus on those accounts that are (for the most part) still active. Scroll away! Kim Jong Un looking at things The only real glimpses the rest of the world gets into North Korea are through state-released photos of Kim Jong Un -- photos, more specifically, as this Tumblr duly noted, of Kim Jong Un looking at things, a.k.a. providing "on-the-spot guidance," just as his father did before him.

The final debate among 115 voting cardinals was held earlier this week before the first secret ballots were cast yesterday, leading to our first glimpse of the fabled black smoke. As is the tradition, the winning candidate – who needed to earn 77 votes – was announced via white smoke from a copper chimney, with the smoke itself generated by the ballot papers being burned. Before there was white smoke, there was mostly no smoke. In between that, not a lot (bar our look at the sporting world’s Top 10 Popes and what all the stylish Cardinals are wearing this season), but where there’s a major news event, there’s a live blog.

How is this even possible? Because science, my friends. Brusspup’s (previously) latest video explores what happens when a stream of water is exposed to an audio speaker producing a loud 24hz sine wave. If I understand correctly the camera frame rate has been adjusted to the match the vibration of the air (so, 24fps) thus creating … magic zigzagging water. Or something. Run the rubber hose down past the speaker so that the hose touches the speaker. Brusspup did a similar experiment last year where it looked as if the water was flowing in reverse.
