As a former first lady Michelle Obama knows how much weight words can carry. She gets it. But she wants to make sure everyone else does, too. Everyone.
Queen Michelle sat down with poet Elizabeth Alexander to speak at the second day of The Obama Foundation Summit in Chicago. She spoke on the importance of sharing your voice intelligently and hmmmmm we wonder if she was referring to anyone in particular…
“When you have a voice you can’t just use it any kind of way … You don’t just say what’s on your mind. You don’t tweet every thought,” Obama said.

Look alive, romance novel addicts.
Audible is now letting readers of erotic fiction get right to the action with a “Take Me To The Good Part” feature. It’s part of a new Audible Romance package, which is designed to let connoisseurs dig deep into the massively popular genre.
They’re using machine learning to scan keywords and groups of words for certain types of scenes — but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re running you right to the ripped bodices and slow caresses. It’s more complex than that.
Romance novels aren’t the same as porn — where it’s common practice to just skip around to find the hottest action. Here it’s not just about the money shot.

It has the potential to even warn people distracted by their phones or reduce the blind spots of drivers by displaying the anticipated route of passengers moving unexpectedly. Read more…
