5 examples of how the languages we speak can... →
divineirony: To say, “This is my uncle,” in Chinese, you have no choice but to encode more information about said uncle. The language requires that you denote the side the uncle is on, whether he’s related by marriage or birth and, if it’s your father’s brother, whether he’s older or younger. “All of this information is obligatory. Chinese doesn’t let me ignore it,” says Chen. “In fact, if I...

10 Reasons Why The Addams Family Is Awesome(ly...
Perhaps. Interesting, at least.  soapboxinggeek: 1. Anjelica Huston was 40 when she played Morticia. Considering that it’s very hard for women over 40 (who aren’t A-listers) to get lead parts, that’s already a milestone. But she’s also sexy. Incredibly sexy. Yes, she’s playing the mother of a pair of preteens, but she appears immaculately (and eerily) beautiful in every scene she’s in. How...

Alice, 3yo: Who's that?
Mummy: That's Richard Dawkins.
A: What does he do?
M: He's a scientist. He knows lots about animals and also about religion.
A: Is that why he's telling us to be happy?
M: Yes. The hidden message is "be happy now." Good point.

Angels take Manhattan (SPOILERS) →
lileclaire: My favourite scene to come out of New Who is this one, from Parting of the Ways. I never fail to tear up. Something about Billie’s acting, the superb contrast between the mundane and the fantastic. She’s in despair… a million years away the Doctor is dying, and all she can…

Quoi le canard?: Some questions for "feminists"... →
quoilecanard: I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while, because I seem to never be able to escape all of you illogical so-called feminists who aren’t vegans. I’m really trying to wrap my head around you guys. I keep coming across “feminist” blogs who are self-proclaimed cheese lovers or dairy fanatics,… Incroyable :)
