"Îndoiala e o formă de legătură între oameni la fel de rezistentă ca încrederea"

"Love is the extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real"

Mda..

According to officer Duran’s official report, Mrs Vernon (86 years old) had taken an 'aggressive posture' in her hospital bed. In order to ensure 'officer safety', one of his men 'stepped on her oxygen hose until she began to suffer oxygen deprivation'. Another of the officers then shot her with a taser, but the connection wasn’t solid. A second fired his taser, 'striking her to the left of the midline of her upper chest, and applied high voltage, causing burns to her chest, extreme pain', and unconsciousness.

Romanul s-a nascut poet. NOT!

"Doamne ajuta sa nu ne pice vreo poezie"

Politics is a bici

"I remember the famous case of Leslie Spriggs, the then-Member for St. Helens. We had a tied vote and he was brought to the House in an ambulance having suffered a severe heart attack. The two Whips went out to look in the ambulance and there was Leslie Spriggs laid there as though he was dead. I believe that John Stradling Thomas said to Joe Harper, 'How do we know that he is alive?' So he leaned forward, turned the knob on the heart machine, the green light went around, and he said, 'There, you've lost--it's 311.' That is an absolutely true story. It is the sort of nonsense that used to happen. No one believes it, but it is true."

Dostoevskaya station

Several murals of the station illustrate the plot of “Crime and Punishment,” a complicated psychological novel where the author reflects if the murder of one person can be justified when committed for the good of many people. Passengers on the Moscow metro will see the main character, Rodion Raskolnikiv, a poor student, who is about to kill a pawnbroker with an axe.
A male character from another novel, “Demons,” is behind the corner holding a pistol to his temple.
The pictures of murals caused a storm of controversy after being published on the internet. Bloggers criticized the pictures as being gloomy and suicidal. The new station has already been dubbed the “station of suicides.”
The artist behind the murals, Ivan Nikolayev, was unrepentant. "What did you want? Scenes of dancing? Dostoevsky does not have them."

The shocking parallels to the Holocaust in Toy Story 3 begin just moments after the opening playtime set piece.

vuvuzela, right where it belong. finally

Medical staff have told how a man was admitted to a Johannesburg hospital this morning with a vuvuzela protruding out of his arse.

The local man, who had been blowing his 'horn' at the South Africa v. Uruguay game, had, apparently, been attacked by a group of high-spirited Uruguayans who were out celebrating their team's 3-0 victory.

bonus: A nurse treating the injured man told us:

"I don't like vuvuzelas. If it weren't for the fact that my job is a nurse, and that I am here to help people in severe distress, and to save lives, I'd have shoved the fucking thing up his arse myself!"

un bob de poveste

"Mancarea mea preferata de vara e ghiveciul, sau in lipsa, mancarea de cartofi. Uleioase cat de cat, si cu paine calda (+ o cola). Nu mananc niciun fel de mezel pentru ca gasesc zgarciuri. Mi-ar placea si mie sa mananc oua cu carnati, ca toata lumea, dar gasesc zgarci de fiecare data si trebuie sa ma tai undeva pe corp, ca sa simt durere si sa ma gandesc in alta parte, sa uit senzatia de greata. Daca gasesc zgarci sau par in mancare nu mai mananc toata ziua.

Taica-miu cu frate-miu sunt cu fasolea in schimb. Vara e fasole. Au povesti despre fasole, despre alte dati cand au mancat fasole. Frate-miu da startul deobicei, il pune sa povesteasca, si tata ii povesteste de o mancare de fasole de acum 30 de ani (in timp ce o prepara pe asta). Ii povesteste cum era afara, ca ploua, ca ii era frig si s-a dus el la o baba in vizita, si i-a facut baba aia fasole, si i-a pus si otet si i-a placut mult, plm de fasolea din armata, etc. Se felicita reciproc dupa ce a terminat de fiert. Intri in bucatarie si ii vezi transpirati mancand ca porcii. Frate-miu canta cand mananca, de fericire. Daca te dai foarte aproape de el poti sa auzi cum face "hmm hmm hm hmmm"...canta. Ceapa, sare, branza de doua feluri, castraveti murati. Fac pauze de discutie, mai povestesc( tot despre fasole). Termina de mancat si ne apucam sa jucam splinter cell la ps2; raman singur la joystick... la o ora dupa ce au mancat sunt in bucatarie mancand din oala direct. Sunt bolnavi."

Raluca Turcan FTW

Saptamana trecuta, in timpul dezbaterilor la modificarea legii de functionare a TVR, in Comisia de Cultura a Senatului, cu participarea presedintelui comisiei similare de la Camera, Raluca Turcan - venita sa isi sustina propunerile de modificare a legii TVR -, dar si a presedintelui TVR, Alexandru Sassu, s-a petrecut un incident de-a dreptul socant, de ris, daca nu ar fi, mai degraba, de plins. (Trebuie spus ca, intrucit sedinta in cauza s-a tinut, in mod neobisnuit, cu usile inchise, informatia ne-a parvenit cu intirziere, ceea ce nu o face mai putin importanta). Mai precis, in cadrul dezbaterilor, Raluca Turcan si-a stupefiat colegii intrebind, pe un ton iritat, pentru ce a fost nevoie ca TVR sa infiinteze un post la Hunedoara: “De ce domnilor, imi puteti explica si mie de ce are nevoie Romania de un post TV Hunedoara, chiar asa am ajuns?”

read my bits

here's some TLTRs for the weekend (handpicked from my Instapaper archive)


Letters From an Arsonist
Thomas Sweatt torched Washington for decades. He killed more people than we thought.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
In the late 1950s, three men who identified as the Son of God were forced to live together in a mental hospital. What happened?

What Did Jesus Do?

Reading and unreading the Gospels.

The Itch
Its mysterious power may be a clue to a new theory about brains and bodies.

To Be or Not to Be?
More people die of suicide in King County than from traffic accidents or murder, but no one likes to talk about it. A few words about the history, meaning, and practice of suicide, from third-century Christian death cults to the Aurora Bridge.

Breeding for God
In Europe, the fertility advantage of the religious over non-believers has historically been counterbalanced by the march of secularisation. Not any more. Secularisation in Europe is now in decline, and Islam continues to grow. Europe will start to adopt a more American model of modernity

Roulette Russian
The teen-ager behind Chatroulette.

Stealing Mona Lisa
The shocking theft of the Mona Lisa, in August 1911, appeared to have been solved 28 months later, when the painting was recovered. In an excerpt from their new book, the authors suggest that the audacious heist concealed a perfect—and far more lucrative—crime.

Ten things we don't understand about humans
We belong to a remarkably quirky species. Despite our best efforts, some of our strangest foibles still defy explanation.

Ahmadinejad's Demons
During the Iran-Iraq War, the Ayatollah Khomeini imported 500,000 small plastic keys from Taiwan. The trinkets were meant to be inspirational. After Iraq invaded in September 1980, it had quickly become clear that Iran’s forces were no match for Saddam Hussein’s professional, well-armed military. To compensate for their disadvantage, Khomeini sent Iranian children, some as young as twelve years old, to the front lines. There, they marched in formation across minefields toward the enemy, clearing a path with their bodies. Before every mission, one of the Taiwanese keys would be hung around each child’s neck. It was supposed to open the gates to paradise for them.

too sexy for this suit

"In a regressive response more sutiable for reality television than a white-shoe corporation in the 21st century, plaintiff was advised that these other comparator females may wear what they like, as their general unattractiveness rendered moot their sartorial choices, unlike plaintiff, whose shapeliness could not be heightened by beautifully tailored clothing."

She was also told that "as a result of her tall stature, coupled with her curvaceous figure, she should not wear classic high heeled business shoes, as this purportedly drew attention to her body in a manner that was upsetting to her easily distracted male managers."
