My friend Jennie and I have a brand new fledgling blog called Fuck the Patriarchy.

Dockers wants men to "answer the call of manhood." It's time to wear the pants. FTP.


please enjoy.

to help ring in the new year and the new decade, here are some great old sci-fi magazine covers from the 50s.


the robot god who killed hitler???
This one has it all--statuesque male nude, god-like apparition, and of course, rocket ships from outer space!!

If you haven't checked out the Life photo archive yet, you should. It has gorgeous everything.

love
Geordi

Oh commanders, I'm back from New Orleans and snowed in. Well, not really, but some snow is enough snow to make me want to stay inside.

In other news, it's almost the new year! There have been tons of 2009 space count downs, here are some worthwhile ones:
(anything about the large hadron collider makes my 2009 top ten list)

9 astronomy milestones

top 10 space stories of the decade

and because I love the marriage of physics and philosophy, especially when the philosophy part is a bit heavy handed, check out Lee Smolin's fecund universe theory. He proposes that everytime a black hole in our universe is created, a similar universe is created on the 'other side'

AND DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE NEW YEARS TWILIGHT ZONE MARATHON! (on the sci-fi channel.)

(hey, Bob Wilson looks familiar...also, smoking on planes???)

luff Geordi

just got a new great thing today!


ELVIS ALOHA FROM HAWAII VIA SATELLITE!!!!!!

it is the perfect combination of elvis and outer space.

though this is a contender:

(but too many potato glamour shots. and too educational about potatoes.)

regular earth-bound elvis is pretty great on his own. listen for his improvisation in this live version of suspicious minds.

(SPOILER:it was when he said "shove it up your nose" around 0:52)

and finally, because I have a weakness for johnny:


with love for elvis from outer space,

this has been swirling around the internet, but for those who haven't seen it>>

this octopus loves his mr. potato head SO MUCH!

"The 1.8m-wide (6ft) creature is so attached to Mr Potato Head that he turns aggressive when aquarium staff try to remove it from his tank."

I wish I could have posted the original video, which is mind boggling and very literal. Instead enjoy this ASL version.

strange lights over norway:

I just found out that Hemingway's estate pays for the care of over 60 cats, many of which are descended from his first cat--and also they are six toed cats! So now cats with six toes are called Hemingway Cats.

Also there is a special biography about Hemingway's life with his cats.

I love kittens in a lap.
