Blame PhotoShop, not diabetes, for this amputation (via the New York Times)
In this New York Health Dept. ad, the photo’s subject’s legs, in reality, are actually intact— the advertising firm removed them in edit to make a point.
Oh… and the photo’s from a stock photo agency.

No words.
The power and beauty of these crunchy cheese ravioli have moved me to tears.
I’m only human and it’s the worst time of the workday.
This, this is the perfect app to bring to a Super Bowl party
Totally going to bring these!
(At a lot of restaurants that are not in Missouri, it’ll say “St. Louis Toasted Ravioli” and it always makes me feel like I need to order them, even though I never once ate toasted ravs when I lived in Missouri. Also, once a menu called them Kansas City Toasted Ravioli. Close, but not quite.)
And oh my gosh now I want a toasted ravioli

Mitt Romney will NOT REST until you eat a pastry. Here’s an excerpt of a Phil Rucker’s pool report from a flight between Charleston and Greenville Friday:
Before take off, Mitt Romney walked down the aisle with a large box of assorted pastries from Panera Bread to pass out to the passengers (including the governors and press).
What follows is a transcript of his exchanges.
“Come on, Kasie, dig in,” Romney said to Kasie Hunt of the Associated Press. “Pain au chocolat. Smart move.”
“Ashley?” Romney said to Ashley Parker of The New York Times.
“Can you just grab me something?” Parker asked, turning to her seatmate, Kasie Hunt, who was holding the tongs poised over the basket.
“What do you want though?” Romney asked.
“Um…” Parker said. “The popover thing?”
“The popovers?” Romney asked.
“Thank you very much,” Parker said.
“Sticky bun?” Romney asked other reporters. “There you go.”
“Snack time! Nothing? Just, you know, use your fingers,” Romney said, struggling with the big box. “The heck with this. There you go.”
“Come on, Emily, dig in here,” Romney said to Emily Friedman of ABC News. “Fingers are fine. We’re among friends.”
“Sarah, you want one? What do you want?” Romney said to Sarah Boxer of CBS News.
“I don’t know,” Boxer said. “What’s in there?”
“We’re gonna solve problem one here by getting rid of these ridiculous things here,” Romney said, handing two pairs of black plastic tongs to the flight attendant behind him.
“Rucker, come on Rucker,” Romney said to Philip Rucker of The Washington Post. “Oh, he makes a good move for the cheese. Take two.”
“No, no, no,” Rucker said.
“Look it, there’s so much in here,” Romney said. “Come in, take more. No, take more than one. Take two, take two, Ruck-man. Come on.”
“Where’d you get it?” Matt Viser of The Boston Globe asked Romney, referring to the pastries box.
“We found it on the floor up there,” Romney said.
“Do you want another one?” Romney asked Sara Murray of The Wall Street Journal.
“No, I’m good, but thank you,” Murray said.
“Who wants some more of these?” Romney said. “Look at this. This is good stuff. This is from Panera. Very high-end.”
“Pain au chocolat in there,” Romney continued. “Look at the sticky buns. Those are the best.”
“Hey, Rucker, there’s still some more of those cheese cake babies in here,” Romney continued. “No? You only had one of these. Come on, Ashley.”
“Alright,” Romney said. “We’ve got to get seated.”“Look at the sticky buns. Those are the best”—amazing. (Photo: Charles Dharapak/AP)

LCD Soundsystem Documentary
“When you start a band, do you imagine how it will end?”
“On April 2nd 2011, LCD Soundsystem played its final show at Madison Square Garden. LCD frontman James Murphy had made the conscious decision to disband one of the most celebrated and influential bands of its generation at the peak of its popularity, ensuring that the band would go out on top with the biggest and most ambitious concert of its career. The instantly sold out, near four-hour extravaganza did just that, moving the thousands in attendance to tears of joy and grief, with NEW YORK magazine calling the event “a marvel of pure craft” and TIME magazine lamenting “we may never dance again.” SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS is both a narrative film documenting this once in a life time performance and an intimate portrait of James Murphy as he navigates the lead-up to the show, the day after, and the personal and professional ramifications of his decision.
Directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace”

The worst part of this is that this isn’t the first time I’ve been compared to Buddy the Elf.
(The second worst part of this was eating like 45 mini peanut butter cups)
(Third worst is that Harry Potter, champagne and Reese’s would ever be combined)

“The dog photo was a few days after we took-in an abandoned dog. He was undernourished, dehydrated and tired and all he wanted to do was curl up on our laps and so I obliged. We named him Maddie.”

In Carl Jung’s opinion, we all have a sixth sense - intuition. When you meet someone and you suddenly feel like you can’t live without them. This could be the memory of a past love from the collective unconscious. Or it could just be hormones.
