Warm drinks are futile The Borg are many things and they are one thing. They hate individuality and they really hate warm drinks. That's why they made these Cube Chillers! $24.99

So this is awkward. Last Friday, the Seattle Symphony teamed up with Sir Mix-a-Lot to perform his number one hit "Baby's Got Back." It's not so much the idea of rapping over an orchestra that's awkward, though. It's the dancing.

Pregnancy is a lot of things: A joy, a pain, a blessing, a curse. One thing it's not is simultaneously experienced physically by the dude who knocked you up, or whoever your partner in this crime is. So unless the you is two women who are actually both pregnant simultaneously, do us all a favor and stop saying "We're pregnant."

Finally, some answers from the gaming industry! After years of clamoring from female video game fans who just want their existence acknowledged by the billion-dollar industry they dump all of their money into, one game director is speaking out. It's not that video game designers are sexist—it's not that they don't want to include powerful, playable, non-sexualized female characters once in a fucking while—it's just that animating women is haaaarrrrrrdd, you guuyyyysss! Plus, we're really, really busy animating all these men!

Bill Murray, renowned Ghostbuster and funny guy who just kind of shows up and says shit to the delight of everyone around him, decided he'd be cool with being in Erik Rogers and Ashley Donald's engagement photos. They're quite the trio. http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/bill-murray-cr...

Post-Breaking Bad, Aaron Paul is keeping busy by playing some Xbox and starring in an ad for the Xbox One. And because of the gaming console's best/worst feature, he's also inadvertently trolling anyone who already owns one.

Animals Being Dicks is officially three years old. That’s just unreal to me. I can’t thank you all enough for keeping this thing going. Here’s to another year. 

Can it really be possible to make homemade whipped cream with just a mason jar?

No tired arm from whisking. No lugging the stand mixer out just to make a few dollops of whipped cream. No beaters to wash, or immersion blender to clean. Instead, there's a method as simple as pouring whipping cream in a jar, sealing the lid nice & tight and giving it a good shake. Kind of sounds too good to be true, right?!

A Japanese television program called “Great Gear” recently featured a look into yarn producer Eisaku Noro’s production facilities, and it’s a great bit of eye candy for lovers of knitting and color.

The show calls the yarns “exquisitely colored” and Noro says each of his yarn blends uses 10 to 20 different colors, with the hope of emulating the colors of nature. He says originality is at the top of their list of priorities, which is evident in the company’s lovely yarns.

The company has been around for 40 years and is now distributed in 30 countries. It’s a lot of fun to see how this yarn comes together, especially looking at the stripes lined up as unspun wool.

If you want to see the video, visit the Great Gear website, click on “Hand Crafts Special 2″ and you’ll find it there. I’d love to know what you think of the video or of Noro. I just finished a sweater in it for my next book and it was so much fun to knit!

Anna Binkovitz has an important message for anyone using the "she was asking for it" defense when it comes to rape: "Stop asking people's clothing to have sex with you, and start asking people." And that's just the beginning.

Sometimes Stevie felt she needed to recapture that "string bikini at the beach" feeling in mid-winter.





Dakota's mother was so thrilled by her purchase of All You Can Knit and Crochet for Babies, because she now had a way to use up her scrap yarns and the resulting outfits would mean blackmail photo ops that could be used to keep Dakota in line as a teenager. And all for 50 pence!





Kaila thought her new line of "Couch Wear" fashions had turned out rather well.





After all, Kaila reasoned, what could protect women from street harassment better than camouflaging themselves as couches? Men love and respect couches!





Model Victoria's contract had a strict "no face showing in crocheted trousers shots" clause, for which she could never be thankful enough.





"No, hon, I can't see anything."
"Thanks loads for checking! You know a girl likes to be clean-scrubbed and demure and to be careful not to show too much boobage when she wears hot pants and go-go boots."





Ophelia felt that the combination of her new "Little Schoolhouse on the Prairie" sweater and just the right amount of poutiness and broodiness was bound to drive her boyfriend Rex absolutely wild.





"Oh hell no, you weren't interrupting anything! Freddy and I were just getting into the spirit of the photo shoot, weren't we, Freddy?"





Megan planned to be squatting just so on her rug and throw pillows when her party guests arrived so that they'd be duly impressed with the way she'd coordinated her hostess outfit with her décor.





Chet was confident that the devastating combination of his silk scarf and his thousand yard stare was bound to start bringing all the chicks running once he had it perfected.





Ingrid's pixie hat and sweater set scored her free drinks so reliably often that she had decided to make more pixie hat and sweater sets in different colourways.

The master of prairie architecture would have turned 147 on Sunday. To celebrate, Curbed has mapped all 16 of the Frank Lloyd Wright homes on the market right now.

It looks like Netflix has added season four to the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic entry.  Aside from a small derp in the title of Power Ponies (Super Ponies for Netflix), it seems like all of the episodes are available and intact. 

Now go watch it and make it sit in the popular section for a month like last time!

Thanks to Yaaaaay for the heads up.
