Johnny Galecki, regarding rumors about him being gay.
This is one of the best statements given by an actor.
Wow. That’s a really good way of putting it.

Marina Abramovic meets Ulay
“Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again. at her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing it and this is what happened.”
“En los años 70, Marina Abramovic mantuvo una intensa historia de amor con Ulay. Pasaron 5 años viviendo en una furgoneta realizando toda clase de performances. En 1988, cuando su relación ya no daba para más, decidieron recorrer la Gran Muralla China, empezando cada uno de un lado, para encontrarse en el medio, abrazarse y no volver a verse nunca más. En 2010 el MoMa de Nueva York dedicó una retrospectiva a su obra. Dentro de la misma, Marina compartía un minuto en silencio con cada extraño que se sentaba frente a ella. Ulay llegó sin que ella lo supiera, y esto fue lo que pasó”
I’d love for people to watch the gifs and then hear the explanation of what just happened. I love this, this simple, unexpected and quite wonderful connection between two people.

jephjacques: UN Hearing On AI Rights →
The subject of this debate is whether AIs are “people-” whether they possess the same degree of personhood as humans, and whether that entitles them to the same rights.
You have heard all the arguments for and against the consciousness, intelligence, free will, and cognition of artificial…
Context:
About a month ago I was introduced to this webcomic via a test on the dating site OKCupid. I took the test and discovered which character I was (which meant nothing to me).
I decided to read the comic, as I liked the look of it.
Over 2000 strips later I come across the above speech regarding the debate on artificial intelligences. The highest complement I can pay the writer is that I can imagine Douglas Adams writing something like that.
Awesome stuff, sir.

A Letter To The Guy Who Harassed Me Outside The Bar →
While this is an awesome piece, & says a lot of things I recognize, it depresses me more than a little. Because I think the people who need to read this will never read this. Because there an awful lot of dudes out there who think that it is their right to run an ongoing commentary on the bodies of women. Hell, I know dudes that do that all the time, see nothing wrong with it, and get pissed at me calling them out on it.
I guess what I am saying is that I know my ladies will reblog this and recognize it. I wish my dudes would do the same.
“Ask your female friends, if you have any, if they’ve ever walked home late at night with a key pushed through their knuckles, just in case, if they’ve ever crossed the street to avoid a stranger, just in case, if they’ve ever taken the long way home because of the weird guy on the corner, just in case. Ask them if they’ve ever made up a boyfriend to get a guy to leave them alone, if they’ve ever gotten off a train car and moved to the next because you just never know, if they’ve ever shelled out for a cab because men like you were at the bus stop.”
This is a great, well-written piece by Emily Heist Moss. Read the whole thing.

Testing Cards Against Humanity (UK Expansion)
In the latter part of 2012 I spotted a tweet from @CAH stating that one of the team would be in London early this year, and would anyone like to do a playtest of a possible UK expansion? I replied in the affirmative and thought no more of it.
Come beginning of January, I receive an email follow-up and it’s on. This all lead to me and several friends spending last night in a pub discussing whether “corgi-on-a-stick” or “The bloody Welsh” was a funnier white card.
It’s fascinating talking to an American games designer who’d spent a bunch of time researching British history and thinking about what to put in the game. He’d included a few cards (particularly one to do with a historical massacre) that no one round the table had more than a passing knowledge of, yet had completely missed out pantomime and Doctor Who. Clearly this needed to be rectified.
Without giving too much away (and who knows what’ll actually make it into the finished product?) we managed to get Stephen Fry’s brain, Morris dancing, Jeremy Clarkson and several mentions of the Royals in. We also, as a group, explained at great length the importance of all of these things. I did catch Eli once or twice looking faintly overwhelmed by seven UK residents all talking at once.
It was a hilarious, and very worthwhile evening, and I look forward to the expansion coming out later this year. I presume more playtesting is taking place but if you play CAH with me and I get terribly, terribly excited over a particular card then this is why.
