China Photo of the Day: A Man, a Woman, and a Sex Doll

Via Shanghaiist, these photos have been darting around the Chinese internet over the last couple of days. Yes, in case you were wondering, this is a woman chasing a man carrying a doll across a Beijing street. And, uh, all three happen to be naked.

I love the third photo the best. That guy is really truckin.

Oh, Internet, what would I do without you?

The title of this piece is also the subject line of an email I received yesterday.

FYI n00bs: You should not be programming your cell phone. And if you think that you should, you will be put in timeout.

Just Your Notes

Magically saved and available anytime, even offline (in theory).

I made this as a secret project at work without anybody knowing. “In theory” you’re the first person to look at it. Be nice.

I wasn’t feeling the artistic touch this year but I do like how my squid easter egg turned out.

What it means when you say ‘literally’ - The Oatmeal

“If we do not act now, homosexuals will own America! If you and I do not speak up now, this homosexual steamroller will literally crush all decent men, women and children who get in its way … and our nation will pay a terrible price!” — Jerry Falwell

I literally love The Oatmeal. Additionally Rob Lowe’s performance as Chris Traeger is literally the best one he’s ever done.

Leaving Same-Sex Marriage to the States Is a Recipe for Confusion

Even with the usual caveats about reading too much into questioning at a Supreme Court hearing, the big takeaway from this week’s oral arguments on gay marriage was the reluctance of several justices to impose a national standard on an issue that Americans have seriously debated for only a few years.[…]

Looking forward, a key question on gay marriage is whether the intensity of modern media and communications makes such disparities among the states less tenable. The dawn of television hastened segregation’s demise; it seems dubious that its daily indignities could have survived as long amid 24-hour cable and viral videos. (Imagine enforcing back-of-the-bus rules against people filming iPhone videos that might reach CNN in hours.) Today, the increasingly positive images of gay men and women in the popular culture blanketing all regions probably help explain the growing public support for same-sex rights, including marriage.[…]

The arc of American history bends irreversibly toward inclusion of previously marginalized groups, which means that greater equality for gays is inevitable. But the justices are waiting for a cavalry that won’t arrive if they are hoping that the states will establish a common set of rules for same-sex marriage before the Court itself must act.

The same-sex marriage issue must be decided by our top court and not left to the states. These marriages must be legal, valid and respected across the whole, good-ole US of A.

Or … gays can start using different restrooms. I don’t want their cooties.

I might have a problem now.
