The Thousands

So, Schrödinger’s Cat is inside this box with some poison and because the box is closed, the cat is simultaneously dead and alive. Slow down, professor! I hear you say.

In the little known variation to Schrödinger’s paradox, the cat is dead, alive, and reading a copy of Ferris Bulwer. No, I’m not mispronouncing the literary adaptation of a popular 1980s teen movie. Rather, Ferris Bulwer is a thought-provoking magazine that features an editorial that explains this Schrödinger thing better than I could. As well as five excellent articles: Alexandra Glazov pays tribute to the fate of that kid you felt sorry for in high-school; Predrag Delibasich has a piece about listening to LPs as a child: trading up bad Serbian pop for the joys of Motörhead.

A collection of atmospheric photographs from John McGee is the centrepiece. So, why would a half-dead/half-alive cat be reading a magazine? Back off, man: I am not a scientist.
