This Truculent Duck Evolved The Bodily Equivalent Of Brass Knuckles
by Robbie Gonzalez
Everyone, meet the steamer duck. The steamer duck is one bad mother. See those orange nubbins on its wings? Those are keratinized spurs, which the steamer duck has evolved to wallop the living cuss out of any creature hapless enough to cross its path. (See that red stuff on the duck's head? Yeah. That's blood.)

The original is good, the comment is STUNNING. Love it!
So, basically, this is a symbolic representation of internalized misogyny:

What In the Actual Hell? There’s Going To Be a Marley & Me TV Show
by Rebecca Pahle
firehosenope
Via Deadline: “In a competitive situation, NBC has landed Marley & Me, a single-camera comedy sequel to the hit 2008 comedy-drama feature starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson. Emmy-winning Sex And The City alumna Jenny Bicks will write the script for the project, which has received a put pilot commitment, with the film’s director, David Frankel, on board to direct the potential pilot.”
Step back, NBC: Dead Dog: The TV Show? Dead Dog: THE SITCOM? Are not!Aniston and not!Wilson’s characters going to keep getting new dogs, and one will die at the end of every season? Why are you doing this? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

This Year, Doctor Who is Built Around A Character Arc, And That's Major

Something that won't get talked about by many is that this episode basically showed everyone what a female Doctor could look like. Spoilers: She'd be like any other Doctor, unique in her own right but with specific recurring skills.

Google opened Nexus Player pre-orders before receiving FCC certification
by Dante D'Orazio
When it comes to the living room, it seems Google just can't catch a break. Pre-orders for the company's latest effort, the Nexus Player, started briefly yesterday, but there was a bit of a problem. The device hadn't yet been approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). That's why Nexus Player pre-orders are no longer available. A message on the Google Play store explains, "This device has not been approved by the Federal Communications Commission. It is not for sale until approval of the FCC has been obtained." Among other duties, the agency certifies devices that emit electromagnetic radiation, and such products must be approved before going on sale in the US.
It's unclear why the Nexus Player hasn't yet obtained certification. Typically, companies submit their applications to the FCC well before a product is announced, with a request that photos and other details be kept under wraps until a specified date. That way, the companies can sell devices shortly after announcing them. It's possible (though unlikely) that Google simply waited too long to file with the FCC. Alternatively, there may be some issue the hardware itself. Google representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
No FCC approval means no pre-orders
The Nexus Player is the first product to run Android TV, Google's latest push to gain a foothold in the living room. It follows the failed Google TV platform, which hoped to bring a modern, web-connected interface to TVs, set-top boxes, and other A/V equipment. Separately, Google also attempted to launch an web-connected media streaming device, called the Nexus Q. It was overpriced and had extremely limited functionality — it never hit store shelves. More recently, however, the company has seen success with its bargain-priced Chromecast device. If Google can get its Nexus Player through the FCC, it hopes to build on that success.

There might not have been a public race to earn the love of beloved actor Patrick Stewart among MLS fans, but there probably should have been. Well, it's apparently over before it really began anyway.

So, congratulations Timbers. You may not make the playoffs, but you have one of the coolest fans on earth. That's gotta be worth something.

Keene State students help clean up after riot - Boston Globe
firehose'Keene State student Ellery Murray told The Boston Globe she was at a party that had drawn a large crowd when people started throwing things. She said police responded in riot gear and used tear gas to break up the crowd.
"People were just throwing everything they could find — rocks, skateboards, buckets, pumpkins," she said. "People just got too drunk."
The Southwestern New Hampshire Fire Mutual Aid organization said on Twitter that several people were injured from thrown bottles at a party involving hundreds of people.'

Kids at LSU are playing (water? soda? ... beer?) pong
by Rodger Sherman
firehosewelcome to Louisiana; this is probably beer
Laugh, but by the time these kids are in high school, they'll be dominant.
Beer pong is a sport normally played with beer. You're not legally allowed to drink beer if you're under 21. These kids tailgating at LSU are certainly not 21 years old!
Teaching them early, I guess. #lsu pic.twitter.com/RYVLjnQ8Z6
— Elizabeth Crisp (@elizabethcrisp) October 18, 2014
Of course, nobody knows these kids are drinking beer, and beer pong even without beer is just a fun game, just as fun as any other non-drinking game middle schoolers could play while their parents drink before the LSU game. But we're still giggling a bit.
