Image by Claudette Psico. I’ve really enjoyed imagining the routines of the Chilean exotic dancer who was just arrested for pole dancing on the subway (thanks, Amy!); unfortunately her playful cultural contribution to the dull commute of strangers was not well received by authorities. But I loved that she was essentially a one-woman flash mob…

Just stumbled across this news item in the Sydney Morning Herald (popup warining), snip: (…) Senior Constable Davis said towels, cushions and pillows, a foot spa and construction hat appeared to have been deliberately placed over Ms Germain’s body. “It didn’t look like she had pulled it on top of her. It looked staged,” she…

Image by addictedimage. Indeed. Reporting on the wake of a scandal, today Guardian UK endeavors to cover both Max Mosley‘s lawsuit over News of the World running a video of him in a military BDSM scenario and the topic of BDSM itself. They do both a bit ham-handedly, but the resulting article is interesting. In…

It also happens to be about sex. Because, you know, only stupid girls get raped. I’m pretty floored by this one; check out Jezebelism, and then see how college blogs are reacting (“Jezebel Writers Too Smart To Be Raped”) to seeing two Jezebel bloggers go on Lizz Winstead’s show, get drunk and joke about how…

Another breathtaking photo by my friend Richard Kadrey. It’s quite sensationalized and comes off initially — annoyingly — as biased against sex workers and sexual outsiders (which I feel is a clumsy attempt to differentiate sex work from sex surrogacy), but the article Sexual Healing: Sad stories and otherwise freaky tales from Florida’s last sexual…

The Firefox blonde accompanies the article Report Looks At Vulnerable Web Browsers. The Google brunette is the lede photo for Google Adds Link To Privacy Policy. What are they trying to tell us? I can totally see Google as a topheavy brunette, sure. But I just don’t feel in my heart of hearts (and other…

Image of men’s underwear ad “JBS Nun” was sniffing the goods, via PDesai21. While you were reading about my vague evil, manlybits were swung about. Fruit flies put the “B” in LGBT. A lame duck porn law was tossed out like an old Hustler. many discoveries were made, like sex positions for singles, and robot…

In the SF Pride Parade 2008: my mom Theresa Sparks, myself, and my soon-to-be-adopted sister, Margaret Cho. Photo by Jonathan Moore, the adorable straight boy who handed out marriage equality stickers all day Pride sunday. * Shoutout to the SFBG! Pics: Some famous faces of Pride. It was 8:30 am sunday morning and I was…

The Ingenues, an all-girl vaudeville band, serenading the cows in the University of Wisconsin Dairy Barn in a scientific test of whether the cows would give more milk to the soothing strains of music. Via the Wisconsin Historical Society’s photostream. * Last night I managed to keep my attention span in one place long enough…

First, Jonno tells me that the whole Lithium Picnic sued by Suicide Girls thing is now gosh-and-golly just a big misunderstanding and they’re all “friends again“. Then, Praemedia jars me out of my bewilderment to send me spinning into WTF land with the Ars Technica article announcing that Verizon is banning all alt* subdirectories to…
