It might surprise some people here, but I do actually have really nice friends who're religious. Sometimes, they ask me why I feel the need to publicly rag on religion. And the thing is that if they they just worshipped privately, & followed the teachings of Jesus, it wouldn't be an issue for me. Unfortunately, way too many 'religious' people do stuff like this:

(H/T to one of my G+ friends who probably doesn't need the kind of crap she'd get from religious people who have no idea how to behave according to Jesus' teachings.)

Meet the Creative Director of Puritanical Fashion LLC and the objective moral authority for all things cheap and whorish . His appointment will see to it that all fashion aligns to his vision. He says:

"...If you dress like a cheap whore, don't be surprised when you get little respect. When your body parts are on display, don't complain that they are all that others notice about you. Don't blame men for staring at the display of flesh you choose as your persona; look in a mirror!"

I know there are some of you that agree with this man, please try and keep it to yourself. If you can't, then just know I'm ignoring your ignorance, because I can't even.

This is so cool...  Among many other tidbits:

Juvenile birds learn these things early in life by interacting with the predators through testing their reactions. Juvenile ravens often will land nearby and nip them from behind. This so-called risky “play activity” is dangerous but ultimately aids in the birds’ survival by providing information about the capabilities of various predators. By deliberately provoking them, ravens learn which animals they can trust and how far away they must stay to remain safe.

New Video by Rachel Bloom

Very very NOT child safe.  But awesome and hilarious.  Also note that it's playing on medieval bigotries.  Expect to be offended if you are very sensitive to mocking of bigotries.

I purchased her song "Fuck Me Ray Bradbury" some time ago and it's on my regular no-child-in-the-car-or-kitchen rotation, but she has a full album now here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/please-love-me/id648598114

Li, a graduate of the prestigious China Central Academy of Fine Arts, works as an artist in China. He's still young and is still trying to make a name for himself. But this isn't necessarily an art project per se—though, it certainly does have elements of performance art. 

So that's the story.

The FBI advertising sting that cost Google $500,000,000:
“We started to joke that we could tell the AdWords people, ‘We want to kill baby seals,’ and they’d tell us how to do it,” says a postal inspector who helped work the case. “We wanted them to stop us, to tell us no. We’d tell them we were using reinvested drug money. We’d tell them we were having problems with customs seizures.”

Hey +Yonatan Zunger! - I thought you were just joking about this project?
There was a sudden puff of smoke and a bang. I winced and found myself staring a person whose skin appeared to be inside out. The thing made a muffled noise that sounded vaguely like “moh jit” and vanished in another cloud of oily smoke. Larry waved his hand at the apparition.

Breaking: Prosecutor claims that the root domain registry is criminally liable for copyright monopoly infringements that happen on The Pirate Bay.

Prosecutors in Sweden have sued the root domain registry of .SE domains to kill the domain name of The Pirate Bay. The root registry fights back heavily. This case is important to watch, as it can have thoroughly chilling results for the Internet's domain name system if criminal secondary liability is established at the DNS level.
