What do I mean when I say 'suspended animation'? It is the process by which animals de-animate, appear dead and then can wake up again without being harmed.

There is a reductive nature to the Internet, and it's not limited to comic book news sites and stuff: it's everybody.

— Mark Waid

— Mark Salling

— Marnie Stern
We're very focused on making News Feed really good, making our photos experience really good, making messaging really good, and creating great location apps.
