Gauguin masterpiece unharmed after attack at National Gallery:

The Paul Gauguin masterpiece that was attacked Friday by a woman at the National Gallery of Art “sustained no damage,” the museum said Monday, after conservators examined the canvas examined the canvas.

According to court papers, Burns told an investigator: “I feel that Gauguin is evil. He has nudity and is bad for the children. He has two women in the painting and it’s very homosexual. I was trying to remove it. I think it should be burned. I am from the American CIA and I have a radio in my head. I am going to kill you.”

“Elliot Schrage, who oversees Facebook’s global communications and public policy strategy, said it was a good thing that young people are thinking about what they put online. “We are not forcing anyone to use it,” he said of Facebook. But at the same time, companies like Facebook have a financial incentive to get friends to share as much as possible. That’s because the more personal the information that Facebook collects, the more valuable the site is to advertisers, who can mine it to serve up more targeted ads.”

At work last Friday, I had one of those headdesk moments when I felt overwhelmed by the unwieldiness, the inefficiency, the disjointedness of working without a process — When what you produce can never be that great because you built it with just a sliver of information and without first-hand knowledge of what’s at the core.

Don Music came to mind, banging his head on the keyboard. Also, Don seems like he’s voiced by Ben Affleck, though Ben Affleck was two at the time these segments started.

The Post-Birthday World: walk to your bookstore and get it now. Or your library. Either one is fine.

This book is in no way small. It’s a massive tome. Usually I hate the word tome — I think it sounds pretentious. But TOME is the sound the book makes when you set it down, however carefully. All of the pages kind of hum hollowly.

This is the first time in a LONG time, that I’ve stayed up past one to read, in the dark, with the booklight and only the gas fireplace on.

The Post-Birthday World has me in its teeth. I’d never heard of Lionel Shriver before, but thanks to Entertainment Weekly, I now do.

Who ever she is, she’s got it.
