2400 B.C.: Evidence of the first gay couple, in ancient Egypt, was unearthed when two male royal manicurists named Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep were found buried together in a shared tomb similar to the way married couples were often buried.
What’s next on the agenda of this power mad group of Taliban-like GOP legislators? Now they are going after Planned Parenthood, long one of their pet peeves, as well as piercing and tattoo artists, and who knows what’s next? How about civil rights? Voting rights? Dancing? Let’s make all women who enter the state wear covering on their heads.
I identify with Lars more than with any other character I’ve ever played. I feel that awkward, too. I feel a separation between who I think I am, who I actually am and how I’m perceived to be. It’s hard to truly connect with people. He wants to connect, but he doesn’t feel that he has the tools to do it. I don’t think it’s just me. I think there’s a little bit of Lars in all of us.

The main reason to hurry on those last two books of the series?

Resentment of the Day: DongleGate
Following a tweet (shown above) calling out a group of developers for their comments on “forking” and “big dongles” at this weekend’s Python convention, developer evangelist Adria Richards was pummeled with messages of harassment and death threats on Twitter. One of the men pictured ended up fired from his job, as was Richards, who was fired by email cloud service SendGrid via a Facebook post this morning.

Here’s my takeaway: JavaScript is caught in an iron triangle of its own making. We’ve all grown accustomed to the flexibility and freedom it offers, and we don’t want to give that up. At the same time, we want it to be blazing fast, and it turns out that when you reach millions of lines of JavaScript, maintaining such a flexible language becomes a problem. All three of these areas — flexibility, performance, and maintainability — are intertwined. When you make progress in one area, one of the other two, or even both, will suffer.
