Mute: The Silence Of Dogs In Cars by London photographer Martin Usborne: a simple but nonetheless poignant series of images. Chompsky was very upset, but we cracked open the driver’s side window and he eventually fell asleep.

When I started this project I knew the photos would be dark. What I didn’t expect was to see so many subtle reactions by the dogs: some sad, some expectant, some angry, some dejected. It was as if upon opening up a box of grey-coloured pencils I was surprised to see so many shades inside.

Toward the bottom of Twitter’s about page, they claim that as of September 2010, the service has 175 million users. That sounds like a bunch, right? Well, what Twitter doesn’t tell you is that 175 million number actually represents the number of registered accounts, which technically do not have to be active in order to exist. According to Business Insider, they know someone with “full access to Twitter’s API,” who was then able to get an engineer to write code to produce figures for the “real” (active) number of users on Twitter.

Apparently, there are 56 million Twitter accounts that aren’t following any other accounts. FFS, who are these people?
