Can You Read People’s Emotions?

by Miss Cellania

How well can you read someone's thoughts by their facial expressions? The New York Times has a quiz in which you are asked to judge emotions on faces by seeing only the eyes. Try to guess how well you’ll do before your start.

If you are among those people who are mystified by moods, new research offers hope. A new study shows that certain types of reading can actually help us improve our sensitivity IQ. To find out how well you read the emotions of others, take the Well quiz, which is based on an assessment tool developed by University of Cambridge professor Simon Baron-Cohen.

I scored 28 out of 36, which is on the high end of average, no surprise. Try it yourself.  -via Nag on the Lake

Dolly Parton - Home

by Joe Jervis
Shainaf87

love her

Billboard reviews:
Dolly Parton has just released a new video, "Home," from her hit "Blue Smoke" album. The playful video follows Parton as she prepares for a photo shoot. True to form, her wardrobe is colorful throughout, and she even breaks out the banjo for part of the clip. The decidedly poppy song is a heartwarmer about, well, home. "I'll never be lost as long as I know, there's a place like that where I an go / Where I can restore my weary soul," she sings. The country music icon is currently on a hot streak, as the album entered the Billboard 200 chart in the No. 6 position -- marking her highest charting solo set ever. What lies ahead for the iconic figure? She admits she never stops dreaming.

Die Antwoord Sasquatch! Interview: Chocolate Sauce in Your Face

by Trent Moorman

DieAntwoordSoundcheck.jpg
  • Roger Ballen
Within the first 30 seconds of this Skype interview with Die Antwoord, I pour chocolate syrup on my nose, and I’m standing on my head. Or trying to stand on my head. It’s 7 a.m. in Seattle—I think that’s 4 p.m. in Johannesburg, South Africa, where Ninja and Yo-Landi Vi$$er are yelling at me, “Wake up, FUKKAH.” I fall over. The syrup is all over my face. They’re wearing rubber masks—Obama and Tweety Bird—and one is trying to stand on their head as well. Everything is blurry and drowned in laughing. Yo-Landi is high-pitched with her blond space-mullet-mane. She’s a mighty-mite majesty. And Ninja, the stick-figure rap-Khan. Upside down is a fitting position to be in for an interview with the South African rap-rave zef enforcers. They like to flip shit, fuck with shit, and get creative within audio/visual modalities until they burst. What bursts is beautiful for Die Antwoord. They go for all-out expression by any means, such as the gyno scene where a locust/prawn is pulled out of a Lady Gaga drag impersonator’s birth canal. They’re ill and raw, and smart(ass) and foul. The uncouth and crude are what’s attractive to Die Antwoord. Sonically, DJ Hi-Tek’s rank and bumping Diplo-sponsored crunk-house beats cause mob-mentality movement. A new Die Antwoord album called Donker Mag will be out June 3, with one collab rumored to be with London’s Aphex Twin and one with Cypress Hill’s DJ Muggs. Their new song “Pitbull Terrier” was just released. Back to the chocolate syrup all over my face. They said they wouldn’t do the interview unless I poured it on my nose and stood on my head. And I wouldn’t want it any other way. I sit up, wiping it out of my left eye with my shirt. Yo-Landi is Tweety unmasked. Ninja is Obama.

Tiny Baby Goat Takes Its First Steps with a Wheelchair

by John Farrier
Shainaf87

i want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Several years ago, Pam Ehern rescued her first animal: a pig named Edgar Alan Pig. She saw a need for an animal rescue organization in Australia devoted to farm animals, so she founded Edgar’s Mission. From the organization’s 60-acre spread in Kilmore, Victoria, Ehern and her colleagues take care of abandoned or abused farm animals.

The newest member of their family is a baby goat that they’ve named Frostie the Snow Goat. His back legs are crippled, but with the aid of a custom wheeled rig, he can move around. You can watch him take his first steps in this video:

You can see photos of other animals currently at the mission here.

25 Things You Might Not Know About The Sopranos

by Miss Cellania

The critically-acclaimed and very popular series The Sopranos ran on HBO from 1999 to 2007. It seems so recent that it’s hard to comprehend that show said its goodbye a whole seven years ago! The show set a new standard for original cable TV dramas that are reflected in newer shows such as Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Mad Men, and others that might never have been greenlit if it weren’t for The Sopranos. But even if you watched the show diligently, there’s always more to learn about it. For example:

6. THE SOPRANOS SHARES 28 CAST MEMBERS WITH THE 1990 MOBSTER FLICK GOODFELLAS.

According to IMDb, six regular cast members appeared in Goodfellas (Lorraine Bracco, Michael Imperioli, Tony Sirico, Vincent Pastore, Frank Vincent, and Joseph R. Gannascoli). Ten recurring Sopranos characters and 11 one-time guest stars also appeared in the 1990 film.

8. STEVEN VAN ZANDT WAS DAVID CHASE'S FIRST PICK FOR TONY.

Before he auditioned James Gandolfini, Chase wanted Steven Van Zandt, guitar player of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, to play Tony. He told Vanity Fair in 2012, "I used to listen to music a lot on headphones and look at [Springsteen's] LP, and Steven Van Zandt's face always grabbed me. He had this similarity to Al Pacino in The Godfather. Then we were casting the pilot, and my wife, Denise, and I were watching TV. Steven came on VH1, when they were inducting the Rascals into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Steven gave the speech. He was very, very funny and magnetic. I said to my wife, 'That guy has got to be in the show!'"

The producers didn't want to gamble on a first-time actor for the show's lead, so Chase offered to write a part for Van Zandt. The character Silvio Dante, who Van Zandt came to play, was in fact inspired by a short story about a retired hitman written by Van Zandt himself.

Remember When The Ninja Turtles Were On Oprah?

by Zeon Santos

(Video Link)

The Ninja Turtles may have become pop culture icons, and remain instantly recognizable to most people, but back in the early 90s they were seen as a passing fad in children’s entertainment, one that parents just didn’t understand.

Nevertheless, the rubber suit variety of TMNT made all kinds of appearances, both televised and in person, in an effort to convince the general public that they aren't dangerous space aliens, or a bad influence on kids.

In this particularly colorful 1990 appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show they sing their teenage mutant hearts out, chow down on some Chicago style pizza, and generally drive the kids in the audience wild while their parents are left with that WTF look on their faces...

What happens when 8 million people sign up for Obamacare, pt. 2

by rss@dailykos.com (Jed Lewison)

Earlier this week, we took a look at what happens on Fox News when eight million people sign up for Obamacare. The answer came down to one word—#Benghazi:

Chart showing Fox turns attention to Benghazi as Obamacare's success grew.
To be fair, Bundy also happened, but the point is that Obamacare's success has banished it to the basement of Fox News's propaganda machine. And it turns out the same thing is true if you look at what GOP politicians are saying in Congress.

From January through April, GOP politicians on Capitol Hill used the word "Obamacare" 1,459 times in floor speeches compared with 114 times for Benghazi.

This month, they've used Benghazi 180 times—and Obamacare 23.

All of which raises a new question for Trey Gowdy and the GOP's Benghazi committee to answer: Did Barack Obama trick Republicans into thinking Obamacare would fail just so they would ignore the conspiracy that is Benghazi?
