Cute Fruit & Veggie Japanese Bus Stops.
I support the earthquake aid to Japan because the world needs a country whose people could come up with these wacky wonderful ideas:

(fuck-yeah-tumblrs-best-posts:chickenshit) Bus stops don’t have to be boring! In the Japanese town of Konagai, part of Isahaya City in Nagasaki Prefecture, along the road you’ll find some juicy bus stops, built in the shape of strawberries, melons,...

When I met the guy near Market Market, I wondered if I got myself into an odd coincidence. While we were walking towards his place, the feeling of deja vu grew stronger. He made a turn to the…

People die everyday, and for the most part we are oblivious to that basic fact unless the people who die are close to us. When that happens, a little piece of us goes away too: that part that was…

Casual sexism is nothing but misogyny →
Hags, dogs, whores, bitches. It’s amazing how much hate you can pack into a few syllables. How do you spot a woman-hater? By the way they talk about women, treat women, react to women, represent women. Bitching about women, slagging off women – even the language used to describe such slander comes from misogyny. The ubiquitous verbal violence supports physical violence and nobody, male or...

My weekend was filled with crying, singing, and wrestling, as 30 men struggled to overcome their attraction to other men. It was also the first time I felt another man’s erection.

Somehow, I don’t think “friendly” and “homophobic” occupy quite the same universe. But as one of the article’s commenter wrote: “Yes, our TV shows just don’t contain enough hate crimes. We need a good dose of reality.”

On the global measure, people start out at age 18 feeling pretty good about themselves, and then, apparently, life begins to throw curve balls. They feel worse and worse until they hit 50. At that point, there is a sharp reversal, and people keep getting happier as they age. By the time they are 85, they are even more satisfied with themselves than they were at 18.

Facebook Bows to Pressure Over Privacy →
Facebook initially underestimated how many of its users will react the various changes made in its privacy policies. The aggressive reaction made by concerned users apparently caused the company to rethink those rolled out policies.
Facebook said it would give its users simple controls to determine whether their information was visible to only friends, friends of friends, or everyone on the...

But despite its abundance and importance, the biological origin of maize has been a long-running mystery. The bright yellow, mouth-watering treat we know so well does not grow in the wild anywhere on the planet, so its ancestry was not at all obvious. Recently, however, the combined detective work of botanists, geneticists and archeologists has been able to identify the wild ancestor of maize,...

How far can you beam information instantaneously? Try 10 miles, according to a study in Nature Photonics that pushes the limits of quantum teleportation to its greatest distance yet. At that distance, the scientists say, one can begin to consider the possibility of someday using quantum teleportation to communicate between the ground and a satellite in orbit.
