I'm going to put orbit into your solar system and be the Harley to your Joker. I'll tie up your helicopter blades and I'll write enough Spanish odes to your post-coital state that you'll build your sun out of my syllables, so sidle up to me and log in.

Thanks to some hormone magic, this tends to change after the woman is pregnant. Her brain assumes the most important bit has already been done, and relaxes its “make strong babies” hold over her. This is when she finds herself annoyed by the smelly, bearded, farting creature who impregnated her and finds herself wishing she had a sensitive guy to help with the mothering.

But when on the pill, a woman’s body thinks she is pregnant all the time.

So the theory goes that millions of women have been on the pill at some point in the last 40 years, and their lust objects have changed accordingly. Today they’re more attracted to a male archetype who is more effeminate, less aggressive and will make better a life partner than bear killer. So get busy waxing those legs, guys.

“Laugh at what you hold sacred, and still hold it sacred.” Abraham Maslow (via nihilnoetia) (via happythings)

“Ladies and gentlemen, meet Bella Swan: eighteen and already looking forward to death, she is the perfect role model for your young teenage girl. After an unintentionally hilarious end battle Bella and Edward decide to get married, bringing us to the end of yet another 700 pages without any fucking.” Twilight Review | Cracked.com

“Three hundred pages after “Oh, you like me too? No way, I thought you hated me!”, the plot arrives late to the party, drunk, in a beat-up ‘53 Chevy pick-up truck. It drives away about fifty pages later and crashes into a tree, gets sent to the hospital, and is rarely heard from again throughout the course of the series.” Twilight Review | Cracked.com

“Of course, the Special Olympics is to winners what Fox News is to experts. If you show up, you are one.” John Stewart

“We often mistake the ability to make a choice as freedom. We need to remember the context those choices were made in. What were the other viable options?” David S. Grewal, author of Network Power

I rarely take note of how pale I am. I am a white girl, born in Ireland. My brothers and I, our skin is all milk and freckles. It’s November now and I’d almost forgotten how wraith-like we turn underneath our warm clothes.

Smart Pet Tricks of the Day: Well this is just really great. Science communicator Richard Fisher might as well be declared the Hegemon of Super-Mensa because he just came up with the bestest idea ever for getting science through the skulls of memefaced Intertubkinz, encrusted as they are with a thick layer of cheesy powder and anonymous homophobia: Get a bunch of animals to teach it!

In the first installment of Fisher’s sure to go super-happy-extra-viral new web series Pets Teach Science, 16 golden retrievers are used to explain the nature of atoms.

Also: Something something Schrödinger’s cat.

Movie Review: The Sun
“The Americans do show up, as they must, and hustle Hirohito off to meet General MacArthur (Robert Dawson), who, over the course of two sustained meetings, amicably entertains and gently intimidates the emperor amid oblique references to his plans for the American occupation. Working from Yury Arabov’s brilliantly distilled and elliptical screenplay, Mr. Sokurov moves in and around the two men, his camera shuttling between the twinned foreign landscapes of MacArthur’s gently amused face and Hirohito’s implacable mask. After their first meeting ends, Hirohito walks away from the general, only to pause awkwardly in front of the shut door: the god, you realize, has never had to open a door himself, a moment of pathetic comedy that forecasts a far more profound threshold-crossing: his renunciation of his divinity.”

In the real world (a place far away from the planet Hannity resides on), few in the Japanese media said anything about Obama’s bow until they discovered Fox and other American media sources had made it into a big story. What we now have on our hands is a strange story about how many Americans have overreacted to simple bow and handshake. Unlike the bow itself, which drew little attention, this story actually does make America look stupid in the eyes of many Japanese viewers.
