Read These Now Before The Earth Exhales

I move into serious neglect here at PR.  Maybe it’s the winter doldrums?  Terlene has more fun in the snow than any other time.  I need to make a category just for her.  She’s special that way.

I opened my news feed and there was this: ‘Black Children Are an Endangered Species’.

• And this: ‘World stocks hit by fears of debt crisis contagion.’

• And this: ‘Obama Tells Party Donors ‘Don’t Give Up’ in Fight for Agenda (Bloomberg).’

I need distraction.

• “A California man with a doctor’s prescription for marijuana demands punitive damages for Berkeley police officers’ “gratuitous mayhem,” saying they ran him over with a bicycle, knocked him down and stomped him because he was smoking a joint during a Mardi Gras parade.”

• Photos: Bye-Bye Pandas.

• The 10th Annual Edwardian Ball of San Francisco. (Coilhouse)

• Gender Check: Femininity and Masculinity in the Art of Eastern Europe. (Flavorwire)

• “Now here’s another to add to the growing subgenre of films about the two-pronged repression of gay Israelis: Haim Tabakman’s Eyes Wide Open, which situates its tenuous same-sex affair in the Orthodox community in contemporary Jerusalem.”

• Man attempts to steal five gallons of lotion from Bath and Body Works. (Metro)

• First breath: Earth’s billion-year struggle for oxygen. (New Scientist)

• H.R. Giger’s Cyborg Horror Merges Sex, Tech, Legend. (Wired)

• Get Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights figurines here.
