我们都知道这种感觉。你在悲伤的夜晚不眠之夜，或者在朦胧的周末早上蹒跚而行，需要一些阅读的东西，而那堆未读的书并不能阻止你。为什么不从Twitter和RSS的消防水龙带中休息一下，看看我们每周从网络上收集的关于技术、文化、媒体和未来的重要文章？当然，坐在Instapaper队列中你会感到内疚的还有一件事，但总比再次在Twitter列表上徒劳地拉好。

把所有这些都作为一个Readlist。

论不朽

作者纳撒尼尔·里奇（nathanielrich）花了一些时间与科学家申久保塔（Shin Kubota）在一起，后者研究杜氏海蜇（Turritopsis dohrnii），也被称为“不朽水母”

****：纳撒尼尔·里奇——水母能解开不朽的秘密吗？

You might expect that, having learned of the existence of immortal life, man would dedicate colossal resources to learning how the immortal jellyfish performs its trick. You might expect that biotech multinationals would vie to copyright its genome; that a vast coalition of research scientists would seek to determine the mechani**s by which its cells aged in reverse; that pharmaceutical firms would try to appropriate its less*** for the purposes of human medicine; that governments would broker international accords to govern the future use of rejuvenating technology. But none of this happened.

关于“weev”

阿德里安陈介绍了臭名昭著的互联网巨魔安德鲁“韦夫”欧恩海默，最著名的，并被判在2010年大规模的AT&T iPad 3G违反。

艾德里安陈-互联网上最可怕的人入狱：一个被谩骂的巨魔能成为极客英雄吗？

Auernheimer deploys a peculiar rhetorical strategy that he's learned to work to his advantage: he peppers his conversation with bizarre but true facts and historical references—he has an encyclopedic knowledge of ancient Greek history, world religi*** and contemporary U.S. anti-government extremists, among other things—then hits you with dubious details about his own life. The idea is that the overwhelming strangeness of the world will make you more receptive to the relatively b**** stuff Auernheimer makes up about himself.

论说谎

西恩娜·马德里在网上描述了人们假装患重病的令人不安的世界。

陌生人：西娜马德里-说谎的疾病

The deception began with an opaque post here and there. "Oh I’m sick again" posts, as Alex calls them. "No one paid attention until I started full-time illness blogging." So in April 2011, she ordered two wheelchairs, oxygen tanks, face masks, some veterinary IV tubing, and other medical equipment from Amazon.com. She also cut her hair off and told her IRL best friend that she had non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She reasoned that this would help validate her story.

冷却时

《食用地理》杂志的尼古拉·特威利（Nicola Twilley）介绍了运输中的冷却和制冷以及橱柜中的食品储存背后的建筑和基础设施。

内阁成员：尼古拉·特威利-冷景

As a result, meat locker visitors (who include many of the city’s best chefs, armed with a stamp to mark their purchases) walk down fluorescent-lit, white-tiled aisles surrounded by purpling, mold-covered primal cuts and chased by gusts of malty, mushroomy, slightly sweet-**elling air. Of course, according to Mark Solasz, Sam’s son, "it’s not a **ell, it’s an aroma."

关于“颤栗”

随着迈克尔杰克逊的《颤栗》（Thriller）年满30岁，史蒂夫·格林伯格（Steve Greenberg）回顾了这张有史以来最畅销的专辑发行的市场和文化背景。

公告牌：史蒂夫格林伯格-迈克尔杰克逊的'惊悚'在30：一张专辑如何改变世界

What really had happened over the previous three years was a sei**ic technological shift that had torn apart the very idea of the mass audience upon which pop hits depended: By the end of the 70s, 50.1% of radio listeners were tuned to FM, ending AM's historical prevalence and hastening the demise of the mass-audience Top 40 stati*** that had dominated the radio ratings since the 1950s. By 1982, FM commanded 70% of the audience-and among the 12-24 year old demographic, it was 84%. C***equently, a mass pop music audience that crossed demographic lines could not be sustained.

在音乐博客上

马克·艾伦（markallen）介绍了2004年至2008年期间盛行的晦涩难懂的音乐下载博客的独特网络文化。

锥子：马克·艾伦——无名音乐下载博客的兴衰：圆桌会议

If one **art record collector was able to share the entire contents—music, artwork and all—of one vinyl LP on his blog, for free, and upload another item from his 1,000+ collection the next day, for weeks and years, and others like him did the same, competing with each other about who could upload the rarest and most sought-after record, and anyone who downloaded it could then share it again and again… Suddenly everyone in the world had the coolest record collection in the world; and soon, nobody in the world had the coolest record collection in the world.
