Only 23% of Republicans Want More Women Elected to Congress

"WHERE IS THE DIRECTOR? WE OPEN IN TEN."

Sound op: The director’s car ran out of gas so she won’t be here on time.

Me: Did she call you or something?

Sound op: No, she tweeted it.

Oh, high school directors, you never cease to amuse me…

High school directors giving high school theater and theater in general a bad name since… forever.

Global Ghosts: 7 Tales of Specters from Around the World

Here’s a guide to the scariest.

Just add Nazis: Banksy buys $50 thrift store painting, draws a man on it — now it’s selling for $200K

Graffiti artist Banksy’s New York City residency is nearly finished, but the artist is showing no sign of slowing down, having raised eyebrows after adding a Nazi to a painting he bought at a thrift shop – which is now selling for more than $200,000 at a charity auction. (Photo: Housing Works)

"No one has a kind word to say for extremism or extremists. Well, let me be the first...."

“

No one has a kind word to say for extremism or extremists.

Well, let me be the first. Sometimes, those who take an inflexible, radical position hasten a purpose that years later is widely hailed as legitimate and just. Extremism is the coin of conviction, whether virtuous or malign. It forces middle-roaders to crush the disrupter or adapt.

”

- A Kind Word for Ted Cruz: America Was Built on Extremism (via thenewrepublic)

Sounds like a Nazi manifesto.

The Artificial Womb Is Born

"In Tokyo, researchers have developed a technique called EUFI — extrauterine fetal incubation. They have taken goat fetuses, threaded catheters through the large vessels in the umbilical cord and supplied the fetuses with oxygenated blood while suspending them in incubators that contain artificial amniotic fluid heated to body temperature."
