Alright, fairly big update, it’s been a while! First up,
Looking at Mary, and her “perfection” may not be all that good, at least not in the way we think.
Check out a great column about the actual affects of the Ashley Madison hack. Not even discussed: the people put in jeopardy of being put to death: in some countries, “cheating” or being gay (AM ran a gay hook up site as well), is punishable by death, and now those people’s information are out as well.
Right after the Ashley Madison hack, the feds raided the offices of Rentboy. But should they have? Matt Baume explains:
A useless but awesome machine: the perpetual slinky machine!
The naming system for Charon is awesome, it includes references to Serenity and Darth Vader!
A Super Star Destroyer is bigger than you think.
And speaking of Star Wars, the poster for Episode VII is amazing:
How about some chewable coffee? I know so many people who will want this!
Our robot overlords are coming, but they’re going to start out adorable, like this Pixar Lamp robot!
The Deadpool trailer!
Arby’s says goodbye to Jon Stewart, in such great ways!
And sadly, remembering Satoru Iwata:
If Disney princes had Grindr profiles. Amusing, and all the puns!
An insane view of the Oval Office: with nothing in it (from when the floor was refinished).
The new trailer for Season 2 of Eastsiders has dropped, and it looks awesome. Check out season 1, it’s a great webseries!
The trailer for the final series/season of Downton Abbey is here, and it’s all the feels:
Do you want to see graphs that break down stats about tv series finales? Of course you do!
Finally, trans* service members will be able to openly serve starting in May, 2016!
The new single from Great Big World, my new jam:
Pennsylvania has introduced sweeping anti-LGBT discrimination legislation. You know, because even though I can get married, I can be denied being served at any business (job protections are covered under recent federal rulings, but they’re not permanent yet). Hopefully it can finally pass, Pa. is the only state in the northeast without these kinds of basic protections.
Somewhat related: a new survey finds that a third of young Americans don’t identify as completely straight. Which makes sense, for years, the conventional thinking was that women’s sexuality was more fluid, but recent studies have found that the same is true for men, but society pressured men to identify as straight.
Ignorant, hateful bakers in Oregon, who lost a lawsuit for refusing service to a gay couple and then smearing them (leading to death threats and harassment), have been raking in the money via crowdfudning (it’s the normal cycle: do something illegal against the queer community, get fined, cry about it online and rake in the money from other bigots across the country). Now, they’re sending cakes to LGBT organizations….with copies of a DVD about how horrible LGBT people and protections are. Fuckers.
For more information, let’s once again hand it over to Jon Oliver, because he nails it, this is required viewing:
In case you missed it, the teaser for Zoolander 2.
Here is the latest list of the most homphobic colleges in the country, no surprise, Grove City tops the list, but I was surprised to see LeHigh and IUP on the list as well.
We joked while in Arizona about “the last cactus.” I think I found it:
That’s it for now, have a great one!
