1. Don't waste your readers' time. 2. Writing a book is like describing a building. Look at the first brick and write all about it. Repeat this process for every brick. 3. When you are starting out, consistency beats quantity. Find a schedule which works for you and stick to it. Slow momentum is better than no momentum. 4. Write something every single day. Do not ...

Donald Trump has a bully's nose for the vulnerable and the defenseless, and he sees the American media as both.

It's common to feel tired after a long day at work or to need a holiday after a month-long sprint to finish a new feature. But sadly it's also common to feel tired all the time. To lack enthusiasm about your work. To feel cynical and disengaged from what you do. These are all symptoms of burnout, which is becoming more common as our work lives become busier, more demanding and more stressful.

If you're watching Snap's stock ticker, stop. The company that makes Snapchat, the popular photo-messaging app, has been having a volatile few days after its rocket-fueled initial public offering last week.
But Snap's success or failure isn't going to be determined this week or even this year. This is a company that's betting on a long-term trend: the rise and eventual global dominance of visual culture.

After analyzing how Facebook shares on videos have changed in a year, we decided to dive into what's making these videos so successful. One consideration that comes up again and again is the length of a video.
We last looked at the length of Facebook videos in September 2015. We analyzed five publishers' top 10 shared videos for the average length of a successful video, and found that average video lengths varied from 24 seconds to 90 seconds.

What do you see when you open Twitter? Until a year ago, the answer was straightforward: With minor exceptions, you'd see every tweet from every person you followed, in chronological order, with the most recent at the top.
In February 2016, word leaked to BuzzFeed that Twitter was planning a move that would change everything. The company was introducing what insiders called an "algorithmic timeline."

That bogus story about Donald Trump your uncle posted on Facebook? It's still staying on Facebook.
But now it's going to get a warning label. Eventually. Sometimes.
Facebook has started pinning a "disputed" tag on fake news, as it promised it would back in December, as part of its "we're going to fight fake news but there's only so much we can do" campaign.

At 24, Mara Menahan has noticed something that most people miss their entire lives: That bar of chocolate, the pomegranate on your salad, the cup of coffee — all these familiar victuals begin life as a flower.
Or as vastly different and complex flowers.
Menahan recently signed off as the U.S. Botanic Garden's first in-house botanical illustrator in modern times, arriving as a Truman Scholar.

In 2011, a now widely published study from the United Nations offered a startling storyline for the future of human population growth — by 2050, 75% of the world's population will reside in cities. For our part, 90% of Americans will live in cities by 2050 compared to about 80% today. But what makes a city a city?

News outlets are having the time of their lives as people are flocking in to subscribe, but what if you want to read more than one news outlet? You could keep a giant stack of subscriptions, or you could reach for Discors.

This morning, I got a piece of well-intentioned advice from someone I've never met. I get advice often. I also get great tips and links from you readers, notes about my math errors and typos (of which there are far too many), and all sorts of marvelous things.
I also get well-intentioned, if wrong for me, advice. This particular piece of advice is one I get monthly, sometimes weekly.

As I walked my youngest son, Keaton, to the local drum shop to sign up for lessons I thought, "The noise will drive me bonkers." He was already whacking a big bongo drum and shaking maracas as I filled out a form and paid.
Sitting outside the studio for the first couple of drum lessons, I thought, "Wow, that's loud." But I also caught my feet and hands moving to the beat.
