You’ll never be without a scale ruler again.

Read More New Documentary Looks At How The Denver Post’s “Marijuana Editor” Covers Weed
The first-ever marijuana editor at a major media outlet, Ricardo Baca talks to Co.Create about the doc Rolling Papers.
Everyone was curious about Ricardo Baca’s new job when he was named The Denver Post‘s first-ever marijuana editor in 2013 (actually, he was the first-ever marijuana editor at any major media outlet in the U.S.), and he appeared on shows like The Colbert Report and The View to field questions about his unique editorial gig, good-naturedly accepting the ribbing that came his way during those interviews.
Fake Presidents For Chrysler, Intel Powers Lady Gaga’s Bowie: Top 5 Ads Of The Week
Asics wants it more, Android’s PES fingerprints, and Converse’s split-screen Valentine’s Day.
Earlier this week, Intel and Lady Gaga unleashed a branded content brouhaha over the artist’s tribute to the late David Bowie at the Grammys. Some people thought airing an Intel ad tied to the performance immediately following said performance—while making perfect sense in a marketing boardroom—may have been in poor taste given Bowie’s lack of say in the matter. But bicker all you want about the timing or whether Gaga’s take on the rock legend’s greatest hits were inspired art or overcooked Vegas karaoke, this was a win for brands looking to become a part of culture.

Yes, Shia LeBeouf Is Livestreaming Himself Hanging Out In An Elevator For A Whole Day
Whoever had “livestreams” and “elevators” in the “What will Shia LeBeouf do next?” office pool just won big.
Hell, as Jean Paul-Sartre wrote, is other people. That he somehow managed to come up with the insight into the nature of humanity even before the possibility of being stuck in a livestream with Shia LeBeouf as he documented the experience in the name of performance art merely speaks to the genius of the prescient French existentialist.
Halsey, Best Coast, Lorde, And More Speak Out For Kesha After Sony Lawsuit
A New York judge refused to grant the artist injunctive relief against Sony despite allegations of sexual assault by her producer.
It’s hard to be a woman in the music industry. That’s a lesson that gets learned over and over again—including recently, when multiple allegations against publicist Heathcliff Berru from women who’ve worked with him became public. But that story at least had a resolution with accountability—unlike the court ruling today in Kesha’s case against Sony, where the artist sought injunctive relief against the label to void or amend a recording contract that required her to either work with a producer who she says raped her, or to watch her work go unpromoted.
