HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Não importa si a afobação tbm ocorre em outras cultura. O *Brasil* é uma cultura. Tudo q um brasileiro faz é parte dessa cultura. Podem até chamar de nome estrangeiro pra disfarçar (black blocs &c), mas é brasileiro. Aliás, ironicamente, o próprio imitar/disfarçar já é brasileiro – pois o imitar *já é* seletivo, ie, definido pela cultura, e o disfarçar é *exatamente* o q o brasileiro faz em suas imitação.

E, tbm ironicamente, tudo q o brasileiro não precisa imitar, tampouco precisa disfarçar. E, ainda mais ironicamente, tudo aquilo q ele não disfarça é exatamente o q vem deixando de lado.

Portanto, tá esporradamente perfeito q zeuaense escarneça da afobação brasileira. Nem precisava dum aeroporto; bastava um ponto de ônibus. ¿Não é hilário?

This is incredible: multiple films of JFK's assassination not only superimposed and stabilized, but slowed down and interpolated to 30fps and allowed to build a panoramic view of the unfolding event. The interpolation makes it very untrustworthy, but the overall effect is fascinating: zoom and enhance for real. [Video Link]

Researchers have discovered one thing that speeds up your body’s aging process that you may not be aware of — depression.

In a study of more than 2,400 Dutch subjects, researchers examined chromosomes within cells. What they found was surprising — people with clinical depression had shorter telomeres than their healthy peers.

Telomeres are strands of protective DNA that are found at the tips of chromosomes. As we age and our cells divide, telomeres get a little bit shorter each time. When they become so small that they lose their protective benefits, the cell dies. The more cells die, the quicker we age.

The length of telomeres is measured in terms of their number of DNA building blocks, called base pairs (bp). Shortened telomeres have been linked to a wide variety of health problems, including obesity, heart disease, diabetes, certain types of cancer and mental decline.

Study participants ranged in age from 18 to 65. The researchers found that with each year of age, telomeres shortened by 14 bp, on average, which is comparable to previous research findings.

The new study found that the telomeres in healthy people were about 5,540 bp on average, whereas in people with depression, their telomeres measured only about 5,460 bp — a significant difference.

Researchers said that based on telomere length, subjects in the study who suffered clinical depression for a period of two or more years actually aged seven to 10 years, when compared to non-depressed people.

“The most severely and chronically depressed patients had the shortest telomeres,” said lead author Josine Verhoeven, a psychiatric researcher at the Free University and Amsterdam’s VU University Medical Center.

“Overall, this study provides convincing evidence for the suggestion than an emotional stressful condition, such as [clinical depression], may truly impact on the physical ‘wear and tear’ of a person’s body resulting in accelerated biological aging,” wrote Verhoeven and colleagues.

The researchers said that while their data showed an association between depression and shorter telomere length, it could not demonstrate a clear cause-and-effect relationship. It is possible that some other factor, such as a genetic vulnerability, underlies both, the researchers said.

The study was published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.

You Are How You Eat: A Collected Analysis of Bill Murray’s Eating Habits On Screen:

by Andrew Root

“You know what I like about restaurants?” asks mob boss Frank Costello in Martin Scorsese’s The Departed. “You can learn a lot, watching things eat,” he seethes, licking a freshly smashed fly off his hand. I never knew what to make of that line. It seemed like a needlessly…

Definitely one of my very favorite things we have published this year. This is brilliant, hilarious, insightful stuff. Plus it’s about 1) Bill Murray and 2) eating, so what more did you want exactly on a Friday morning?

It appears that Seth Rogen may be involved in the rumored Preacher adaptation. Following reports that AMC has ordered a Preacher pilot, Rogen tweeted, "I may get to bring one of my favourite stories to life...Arseface. John Wayne, The Saint of Killers."

Reading: It does a mind good.

Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell

Instead of celebrating prodigies, this book shows that there really is no such thing as a "prodigy." It's not that successful people just fell into it, but more that it's a combination of hard work, opportunity, and seizing the moment. It will inspire you to work harder, if anything.

Candide by Voltaire

You might need to read this book twice just to get the full effect of it. It's packed with political satire circa 1759, but it reads as if it's talking about the culture of today. In a lot of ways, it proves that all people are pretty much the same, regardless of the century.

The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan

A lot of people say that this book changed the way they view food, and for good reason. It looks not only at what we're eating and how the food is being treated before it makes its way to our table, but also things we rarely take the time to acknowledge: like food policies and how it affects the bigger world.
