#2 To Catch a ‘Cheater’ in the Era of Live Tweets
The women have never met until this moment. "Hopefully I'll gain a sister in you if I lose my husband."
— BJ Colangelo (@bjcolangelo) October 31, 2017
Who: Two women from this Twitter thread.
Where: An airport bar in Ohio, USA.
What: Sometimes you just can’t help but eavesdrop. Colangelo was waiting for her flight when she tuned into a rather interesting conversation between two women boarding a flight with the intention of catching their two husbands having an affair… with each other. In between drinks, some pretty good advice and lots of laughs, Colangelo even overheard something rather moving, when one of the wives remarked, “Why can’t they be honest? There’s no need for cockamamie stories and secrets. I don’t care if they’re gay. I care they lie.” Wonder if we’ll ever find out how this friendship turns out.
#3 Paris is Installing Sparkling Water Fountains Across the City
Who: The thirsty.
Where: In the city of Paris, France.
What: Anything the world can do, Paris can do better. Fountains that dispense sparkling water, or fontaines d’eau pétillante, will soon be available for anyone walking around the gorgeous streets. Necessary, or just plain luxe? CityLab explains that the goal is to get people to drink more water and reduce the amount of plastic that goes into regular water bottles. And, you know, you’ve got to be extra stylish in Paris, so it does make sense…
