Time roughs up presidents. Photos of Barack Obama on Election Night 2008 look like they were taken much longer ago. Now his face has deeper creases and crow’s feet, while his hair has turned white. “You look at the picture when they’re inaugurated and four years later, they’re visibly older,” said Connie Mariano, White House physician from 1992 to 2001. “It’s like they went in a time machine and fast-forwarded eight years in the span of four years.”

The Washington Post has an awesome interactive timelapse of photos of President Obama.

Texts from Hillary: TTYL:

Going out on top. I respect it.

textsfromhillaryclinton:

It’s been an overwhelming—and hilarious—week for us here at Texts from Hillary (TFH). What started as a joke at the bar between two friends turned into a national conversation about Secretary Clinton and went as far as talks about 2016.

After a week that included 32 posts, 83,000 shares on…

Just North of Something Important: Aggregation is content

Just North of Something Important: Aggregation is content:

barthel:

Publications have always done mostly aggregation, after all. Unless something is a scoop (or “exclusive” in modern parlance I guess) everything in a newspaper or magazine is that publication’s take on old information. A beat story consists of taking information available to anyone and writing it up with a particular body of knowledge to provide readers with insight about the world around them….

The important thing with all of these examples is that the aggregation or curation exists side-by-side with other kinds of information.
