kickin' it wit ac - Loren Feldman gets a visit from the karma police
I think Loren Feldman is a piece of shit.  I told him so at South by Southwest.  Now, I join the rest of the women of the web who have at one time or another been the target of his baseless misogyny in a great big roung of applause that he’s been dropped by his sponsors. :: ::

Read this and weep, Americans.

“As women advanced in education levels and career tracks over the past few decades, Norway moved aggressively to accommodate them and their families. The state guarantees about 54 weeks of maternity leave, as well as 6 weeks of paternity leave. With the birth of a child comes a government payment of about 4,000 euros. State-subsidized day care is standard. The cost of living is high, but then again it’s assumed that both parents will work; indeed, during maternity leave a woman is paid 80 percent of her salary. “In Norway, the concern over fertility is mild,” Aassve told me. “What dominates is the issue of gender equity, and that in turn raises the fertility level. For example, there is a debate right now about whether to make paternity leave compulsory. It’s an issue of making sure women and men have equal rights and opportunities. If men are taking leave after the birth of a child, the women can return to work for part of that time.”

APOD: 2008 June 20 - Solstice Moonrise, Cape Sounion
The moon did look amazing on the solstice but upstate New York clearly had nothing on Greece, where this photo was taken.  I might have had a heart attack if I saw this “moon illusion” in person. :: ::

Another amazing NYTimes pic, this one from Switzerland where a shepherd was catching up on his EuroCup on his MacBook.  Please God, when I die, send me to that mountainside.

This is an absolutely gorgeous photo of a miraculous moment. Thank you, NYTimes. “Zhang Xiaoyan, right, was rescued from a collapsed building in Dujiangyan, in Sichuan Province, two days after the May 12 earthquake gave birth to a daughter weighing more than six pounds in Urumqi, China in the western Xinjiang region. The baby was named Ai, or Love, in honor of the rescue workers and strangers who helped her since the earthquake.”
