_{The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)}

Instincts are great, except for those unfortunate times when they make an animal go completely haywire, sometimes with disastrous results. Here are eight bizarre glitches that cause animals to do some very strange things — some of them even fatal.

Clips from Lars von Trier‘s Nymphomaniac are being released to the internet at a steady pace, and the latest was too much for YouTube. Maybe it was the explicit oral sex, or maybe it was Shia LaBeouf‘s make out technique. Or maybe it’s the three-way — actually, probably not in this case, since the three-way in question is a three-camera split screen, not a tangle of three people.

Check out the clip, via Vimeo, below.

Here’s how Trier’s company describes the clip:

Chapter 5: The Little Organ School

A chorale prelude by Bach: Three voices each with its own character, but in complete harmony. In other words:
POLYPHONY

The nymphomaniac is easily inspired, and acts it out.

Nymphomaniac premieres in Denmark in December, and will hit theaters in the rest of the world, in hardcore and soft core versions, in 2014.

The film is a wild and poetic story of a woman’s erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe (Gainsbourg). On a cold winter’s evening the old, charming bachelor, Seligman (Skarsgård), finds Joe beaten up in an alley. He brings her home to his flat where he cares for her wounds while asking her about her life. He listens intently as Joe over the next 8 chapters recounts the lushly branched-out and multi-faceted story of her life, rich in associations and interjecting incidents.

A revolution which doesn’t abolish the state; will never be successful.

@Brandon whitmer, we have arrested all the violent offenders in Five points. Thank you for sharing your views and giving us reasonable suspicion to believe you might be a criminal, we will work on finding you.

The post was deleted almost immediately, but not before it was noticed and screencapped. In the resulting furore, Santiago lied about it.

This is Interim Chief Santiago posting. I was just notified that one of my staff members deleted my post. I put everyone on notice that if you advocate for the use of illegal substances in the City of Columbia then it's reasonable to believe that you MIGHT also be involved in that particular activity, threat? Why would someone feel threaten if you are not doing anything wrong? Apply the same concept to gang activity or gang members. You can have gang tattoos and advocate that life style, but that only makes me suspicious of them, I can't do anything until they commit a crime. So feel free to express yourself, and I will continue to express myself and what we stand for. I am always open to hearing how our citizens feel like we can be effective in fighting crime.

After Popehat inquired after it, however, Ruben Santiago was forced to admit being a liar.

Chief Santiago did write those two posts. I believe the original comment was misconstrued. I appreciate you reaching out to CPD.

Chief was trying to say that he puts would-be-criminals on notice — if you commit a crime or plan to commit one, CPD will work hard to investigate and press charges according to the law.

It’s easy for social media posts to be misunderstood. The man who was so-called threatened openly admitted that he was not offended and appreciated the work of CPD.

We’re less than a day past October 31st and it would be reasonable to assume the people depicted in these portraits are wearing Halloween costumes, but they’re not. In his ongoing series of portraits titled Just the Two of Us, photographer Klaus Pitchler gained access to the homes of Austrain costume play (cosplay) enthusiasts where he photographed the elaborately costumed individuals against the backdrops of their everyday life. Via his artist statement:

Who hasn’t had the desire just to be someone else for awhile? Dressing up is a way of creating an alter ego and a second skin which one’s behaviour can be adjusted to. Regardless of the motivating factors which cause somebody to acquire a costume, the main principle remains the same: the civilian steps behind the mask and turns into somebody else. ’Just the Two of Us’ deals with both: the costumes and the people behind them.

While the costumes are incredible, terrifying, and laughable, it’s the strange juxtaposition of ordinary home life and the unknown identities of each individual that create such great images. See much more here. All images courtesy Klaus Pichler. (via Beautiful/Decay)

Is there anything more fashionable than delicious spicy food? Well, maybe there usually is, but when it comes to this cool handmade embroidered Sriracha pendant by Captain Nook. Sure, it might not make your food taste spicy good, but it will at least remind those around you to add in a little extra shot of spice into their food whenever you go to eat out together and let the world know you love the heavenly rooster sauce.

You know what they say, "some like it hot" and this necklace is a great way to show that you are among those that do.

The Obama approval rating as been falling rapidly, making comparative ratings worse that George W. Bush during the same time period of Bush’s presidency.

As previously reported by The Inquisitr, the nation has been keeping a close eye on comparative approval ratings between Presidents Obama and George W. Bush.

At the height of Obama’s presidency he stood tall with a 58 percent approval rating. But but in May Obama’s approval rating stood at just 54 percent and as time has passed throughout the year, it has dipped to as low as 37 percent in October.

It is at this point in which President Obama dipped below George W. Bush in popularity, who stood at 49 percent near the beginning of his second term in office. The numbers tell the complete story of the difference between Obama’s presidency and Bush’s. From September of their first years in office until winter/spring of their fourth years, Bush was far more popular than Obama, at least as measured by approval ratings. Obama caught up in the first half of 2012, and has hovered around the same approval rating as Bush until recently.

Statistician Nate Silver weighs in on the comparative numbers game for the last seven presidents:

“The seven presidents were quite popular, on average, in their first term. Their approval ratings averaged 59 percent throughout their first term, and 57 percent in the final year of their first term, when they faced an election. By contrast, the same presidents averaged a 48 percent approval rating during their second term. Moreover, their approval ratings declined throughout their second term – to an average of only 42 percent by the final year of their second term.”

It’s been speculated that Obama has merely continued many of Bush’s administration policies, leading to a cynical view towards Obama’s core message of “hope and change”. Though the two president’s haven’t been directly compared in any poll in a head-to-head style, the numbers that have been coming in throughout the last month seem to speak for themselves.

Recent “word cloud” polls tell a story of the nation’s distrust of Obama, and their view of his presidency, which appears at this point to be pretty negative. In the word cloud format, the word “incompetent” was used for both presidents, and Bush beat Obama in the word “honest” with 31 percent to 18 percent. The word “liar” was also on the menu with Bush again edging out Obama at 18 percent to 13 percent. Still, President Obama hasn’t quite reached George W. Bush’s all-time-low for his approval rating, which stood at 25 percent near the end of his presidency.

So what do you think, was George W. Bush actually a better president than the current President based upon the Obama approval rating?
