This is a photo of someone dying while having an MRI.
Wrong! This is a screen cap from the series The Walking Dead.
If you look closely, you can see the AMC logo in the corner.
You’re all wrong, this is the corpse of a python that was found in someone’s toilet, dyed pink so when it reanimates (as all large snakes biologically do, unless cut into thirds and burnt as an offering to Set), it will be more visible before you sit on the toilet and get eaten.

Nebraskagasm posted about a month-long beer challenge in Chicago Mag, and I am never one to resist piggybacking someone else’s great idea.
Nebraskagasm and TheMattSmith present: #feBREWary
Each night this month, drink a different beer. Take a picture, post it to your Tumblr and tag it #feBREWary.In the post, put the day of the challenge and the name of the beer. Maybe include some information on the beer or your own impressions of it. But drinking beer is the important part.
Go to it!
LOVE IT!
I bolded the most important part.

Two-thirds of Dutch parents allow their 15-to-17-year-old children to sleep with their partners in their homes, according to a 2003 survey cited by the Salon post.
But rather than resulting in crazed teen orgies and high rates of teen pregnancy, abortion or transmission of STDs, the Dutch have far lower rates of these problems than the U.S. For example, the teen pregnancy rate in the Netherlands is just 12 pregnancies per 1,000 girls aged 15 to 19. In the staid U.S., there are 72 pregnancies per 1,000 girls the same age. The Dutch teen abortion rate is 20% lower than that in the U.S. And the rate of HIV infection in America is three times higher than in The Netherlands.

This seems particularly radical here in the “oh don’t talk about sex” American South. I remember being surprised (and, yes, fearful of a sudden reprisal) one time in the fall after I graduated college when I stayed over, in the same bed, with the gal (college senior) I was dating at the time. Taking away both the stigma and (particularly in the case of teenagers) secrecy of sex I think would carry the added bonus of making “meeting the parents” far less scary (most of the time.)

Climate Scientists' editorial rebuttal published in the WSJ!
A few days ago, the Wall Street Journal published an anti-climate change op-ed signed by 16 scientists. None of the authors are climate scientists, nor do peer review research in the field.
No matter, it got published anyway. And shortly after the piece was published, real climate scientists came out off the woodwork to condemn the WSJ and the so-called scientists that wrote it. Andrew Revkin of the NYTimes has been tracking the pushback, here.
I’m happy to say that the WSJ published a rebuttal from real climate scientists and researchers, and it is epic. A taste:
Check With Climate Scientists for Views on Climate
Do you consult your dentist about your heart condition? In science, as in any area, reputations are based on knowledge and expertise in a field and on published, peer-reviewed work. If you need surgery, you want a highly experienced expert in the field who has done a large number of the proposed operations.
You published “No Need to Panic About Global Warming” (op-ed, Jan. 27) on climate change by the climate-science equivalent of dentists practicing cardiology. While accomplished in their own fields, most of these authors have no expertise in climate science. The few authors who have such expertise are known to have extreme views that are out of step with nearly every other climate expert. This happens in nearly every field of science. For example, there is a retrovirus expert who does not accept that HIV causes AIDS. And it is instructive to recall that a few scientists continued to state that smoking did not cause cancer, long after that was settled science.
Climate experts know that the long-term warming trend has not abated in the past decade. In fact, it was the warmest decade on record. Observations show unequivocally that our planet is getting hotter.

Mitt Romney being Romney.

David Cameron has told MPs that Argentina had a “colonialist” attitude to the islands, a claim repeated by the Conservative MP for Hexham, Guy Opperman, who opened the debate.

He’s incapable of sympathizing with people who can’t pay their bills, because their condition is tied too closely in his mind with the question of how he made his enormous fortune: If you ask Romney to imagine what life is like for someone who’s broke, what he hears is you accusing him of making that happen. (In Romneyspeak, you’ve “attacked capitalism.”)

…what have we inherited? High-stress, high-velocity living with constant deadlines, fast food, power naps and speed dating, which makes it difficult to pause and savour the passing moments of our lives. The solution that is usually put forward is “effective time management”, such as only checking emails once a day or becoming an expert delegator. But this ideology is designed to make us more productive workers for our economic masters and only serves to dig us in deeper.
So now we know… under all that fur, koalas are evil.

Birth control pills recalled, may not prevent pregnancy
Pfizer said on Tuesday it was recalling about a million packets of birth control pills in the United States because they may not contain enough contraceptive to prevent pregnancy.[…]
The drugmaker said the issue involved 14 lots of Lo/Ovral-28 tablets and 14 lots of Norgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol tablets. […]
The pills were manufactured by Pfizer and marketed by Akrimax Pharmaceuticals and shipped to warehouses, clinics and retail pharmacies nationwide, the company said.

The open-ended narrative of Mulholland Drive, coupled with Lynch’s surreal technique, lends this movie a hallucinatory quality. It makes this scene even more jarring because Lynch’s use of music is so beautiful. At a pivotal point in the film, lovers Betty and Rita visit the ghostly, near-empty Club Silencio. A performer announces “No hay bander”: there is no band. And yet we hear one. Then Rebekah Del Rio performs her Spanish, a cappella version of Roy Orbison’s Crying (renamed Llorando). I have watched this film more times than I’d ever care to admit but Del Rio’s voice, a cloudburst of emotion, always knocks the wind out of me. Any further description of what happens would spoil it for those (shame on you) who haven’t seen it.
