Happy Hour

Let's take a moment for the victims of September 11, 2001.

Know This:

• A bar patron with a license to carry shot a homicide suspect on a rampage in Pennsylvania.
• A handbag that charges smartphones actually exists.
• Blink-182 made fun of One Direction 11 years before the boy band existed.
• It's National Preparedness Month -- are you prepared?
• A (possibly stoned) NASA scientist wonders if maybe we do live inside a computer?

Read This:

• From Hypervocal: "Let our reflections on 9/11 be only a brief pause."
• From The Advocate: Zac Efron in his first gay-press interview.
• From Vulture: Funny girl Mindy Kaling on... everything.
• From Raw Story: What Chris Brown's tattoo tells us about violence against women.

Watch This:

• The obligatory time-lapse of One World Trade Center.

• The man behind the SportsCenter theme song.

Look At This:

• The September 12, 2001, front pages from 147 newspapers around the world.
• This is the greatest police department website you'll see... ever.
• These illustrations of cats by Louis Wain are killer.
• First look at Jane Fonda and Alan Rickman as the Reagans.
