Here's another one of my favorite student interactions regarding Hamlet, a play that always brings out the most human moments:

A student said he wanted to "go back in time and take Shakespeare's quill" so he couldn't "write anything"—because "that guy doesn't speak my language."

I said, "Let's sit down and talk about it."

The student said he was frustrated by his inability to express exactly what was in him, that he could never write any papers or poems or stories he was happy with, that he could never "understand literature."

"Maybe you don't need to start by understanding it," I suggested. "Maybe it already understands you."

The student shook his head. "Nah. They're just words."

"Words, words, words," I said. Then I pointed to where Hamlet says this in frustration.

The student cracked a smile. Together, slowly, we read some more of Hamlet's words:

"I do not know
Why I yet live to say, 'This thing's to do'"

"I have that within which passes show"

"in my heart there was a kind of fighting
That would not let me sleep."

After about fifteen minutes of passing the text back and forth, reading passages aloud, the student looked up and said, "That...that's how I feel."

"Write about that," I said.

His paper, which earned an A+, began, "Shakespeare speaks my language."

@LondonBreed Can you make 6th street more safe south of Market? It’s not safe walking there with all the homeless people crowding the sidewalks

I’m fully convinced that this is the best part of the US to live in

Blackthorne: I'm a Tokyo-based freelance translator who blogs about Japanese current affairs. I've been here for a few years now, but I want to start streaming and make content full-time as translation isn't what I want to keep doing.

"Tell your Lord that I have a degree from Harvard and have worked with Google, Microsoft and Apple.”

"The Anjin says he took a 2-week finance course at Harvard Extension School and uses the G-Mail and Excel apps on his iPhone.”

Anyone else love a luxury lawsuit?

Hermès was recently hit with a class action over (what else?) their iconic Birkin bag.

To really understand the lawsuit, you need to understand the bag.

It's a story of how luxury brands think about—and create—value.

Let's dig in:

Wow this is awesome
