I rewatched Tree of Life, which I still LOVED, and googled a question that turned Google into the drunken guy at the bar who can no longer connect two ideas
google search result for "tree of life enron"

I’m slowly trying to pick photography back up, and I’m proud of catching this beauty in Riviera Maya. (The Altamira Oriole).

Parents among us, your school communities are about to be most primed to get active. Organize your fellow parents, and educate them about what programs Trump is cutting:

File away in the 'yup, water is wet' category of research studies:
In 2014, psychologists at the University of Virginia and Harvard University set about to investigate people’s experience of boredom. Subjects were asked to simply sit alone in a room doing nothing for six to 15 minutes and were later asked about their experiences. They hated it. The researchers then tested just how much the subjects hated it. The authors asked whether the subjects would rather do an unpleasant activity than no activity at all. In one study, participants were given the “opportunity to experience negative stimulation (an electric shock) if they so desired,” the researchers wrote. And guess what. “Many participants elected to receive negative stimulation over no stimulation — especially men: 67 percent of men (12 of 18) gave themselves at least one shock during the thinking period,” compared with 25 percent of women. In fact, one participant appears to have spent basically the entire time shocking himself, administering 190 shocks in what I can only guess was a desperate bid to avoid being alone with his thoughts.

While the right eats itself over immigration, enjoy this beautiful poem on the topic by Carrie Fountain: “You Belong to the World”

What an awesome double header:
The first article is titled: "She Danced Naked at Woodstock. She Dated Serpico. At 93, She’s Not Done." The second is titled: "Follow-up: She's 94 now and had maybe one of her best years."

First time I can remember where I’ve seen ALL the shows in this category (and while my heart roots for Kathryn Hahn’s Extremely Golden Globes performance, it should be Jean Smart)

Sincerely enjoy Chloe Sevigny's commitment to being the world's #1 hater:
Sevigny knows what she’s supposed to say about aging — that it’s a wild ride into uncharted territory, that older women and the natural changes that come with the passage of time deserve to be represented onscreen. But honestly, she’s annoyed by the whole thing: “The second adolescence or something? There’s some term. But it seems more difficult than adolescence because I’m menopausal and all that. Hormonal changes.” (And in case you’re wondering, no, she has not read All Fours, Miranda July’s perimenopausal novel. “Sounds intolerable,” she says when I describe the plot.)
