"He wasn't dealing with someone wanted for murder. He was dealing with someone without a front license plate." That was Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters announcing charges against a University of Cincinnati police officer who shot and killed a black motorist during a routine traffic stop. Deters described what happened as "chicken crap stuff." How could he be so sure? He saw the video. There are pros and cons to our candid camera society. But as the NYT's Damien Cave and Rochelle Oliver explain, there's no doubt that recent videos are putting race and policing into sharp relief. "A lot of white people are truly shocked by what these videos depict; I know very few African-Americans who are surprised."

+ The New Yorker's Margaret Talbot: These videos put "us in a strange, morally exigent position: we can't say we didn't see, we never knew; we have no plausible deniability. The videos keep coming out."

It's not just the gall of people from junior high who comment on every photo you post or the families who insist on using the medium to masquerade as being happy and well-adjusted. Everything about Facebook seems impossible. Consider this: Half the world's online population checks into Facebook once a month. Sixty-five percent of those 1.5 billion members use the service at least once a day.

+ Zuckerberg on the future of sharing: "There's always a richer way that people want to share and consume thoughts and ideas. And I think immersive 3D content is the obvious next thing after video." We've gone from text to photos to video to VR. At some point, we're going to get all the way to interacting in person.

"After a fruitless 17-month search this could be the beginning of solving the world's greatest aviation mystery." More than four thousand miles away from where some predicted it would wash up, it looks like we've finally found a piece of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.

"A man barely out of his teens who did what the government had failed to do: rescue dozens of poor people from an impending disaster. He was the perfect man for that moment — someone willing to ignore media reports of looting in New Orleans and hijack public property for the public good." Buzzfeed's Joel Anderson on a low level drug pusher who rescued a lot of people from Hurricane Katrina when no one else would.

These stats will not surprise anyone: "28 percent play during work, 10 percent have found themselves arguing with their near ones about wasting time on playing, and 30 percent consider themselves addicted." The Next Web on what makes the latest games so addicting and why we can't stop playing games on our phones. Zynga has stressed way more relationships than Ashley Madison.

James Woods is suing an anonymous Twitter user for $10 million for insinuating that the actor was a cocaine addict. No, seriously. The complaint, apparently without irony, even reads that the Twitter user Abe List "stepped over the line."

Cecil and his hunter (and the Internet outrage machine that is hunting the hunter) continue to dominate headlines and social media -- and lunches, where millions of Americans will share outrage at animal killing while eating burgers. Meanwhile, there's this: We've wiped out half the world's wildlife since 1970.

"I run a university. I'm also an Uber driver." Oglethorpe University president Lawrence M. Schall explains why he became an Uber driver. Sooner or later, everyone becomes an Uber driver.

+ Did you know that the average car on the road is more than eleven years old?

"I'm so much older than the girl I married. I'm 35 years older, and somehow, through no fault of mine or hers, the dynamic worked. I was paternal. She responded to someone paternal." That line, which could fit easily into a parody, was actually part of an interview in which Woody Allen discussed his marriage.

In the past, it's often been difficult to trace the origins of new words. But social media is changing that. Quartz looks at how brand-new words are spreading across America. Wow, this is really wfkhfeiwhfkwnjqe.

+ Usually, when your lost iPhone sinks to the bottom of the ocean floor, it's over. But not always.

+ Why we're drawn to fizzy drinks.

+ Take a look at America's most vermin-filled cities.
