Quick hit: Nicki Minaj endorses Mitt Romney? Also, Bonita Applebum dismisses claims of putting anybody on.

Sometimes, rap lyrics are clear. Other times they’re just oblique disses drawing from zeitgeist. Many times they’re persona pieces, a metafictional voice that is easily conflated with the actual identity of the MC who spits them. But I’m going to go out on a limb here and say this: NICKI MINAJ IS NOT ENDORSING MITT ROMNEY.

Speculation around the great watercooler that is the internets are drawing this leap of conclusion from a line Minaj’s verse on Lil Wayne’s latest mixtape, Dedication 4, where she says,”I’m a Republican voting for Mitt Romney/You lazy bitches is f*cking up the economy.” The line falls in the category of oblique diss in my view (cringeworthy), not a patent endorsement of ...

Venus was her name

By now, you’ve all have seen these stunning images from the rare transit of Venus around the Sun on Tuesday and Wednesday. Again, we will never be privilege to see the lady planet up close ever again in our lifetime.

Science geek me loves this. Photographer me is grateful for the technology that allows to see the planet and star with such detail. Poet geek me, can’t help but see a poem here. Greek mythology tells that Venus (Aphrodite) is the goddess of love, sex, fertility, prosperity, and military victory. A news week flooded with confounding events (a failed recall campaign, a failed vote for pay equity, a drone strike, a presidential kill list target, vanquished, another black mother mourning ...

Eesha’s favorite thing in the world, today: The Kitten Cover

Now, I’m not a major fan of cats. I find them to be aloof, unreliable with their affection and always plotting clandestine activity. I love Lola-Maye, my BFF Susana’s kitty that thinks she’s a puppy. But really, Lola’s it. I’m a girl that loves dogs. I like my pet affection just like I like all my affection; slobbery, simple, and completely overwhelming.

All that being said, this tumblr is my favorite thing in the world, today. Seriously, tomorrow’s Friday, and I have plans to see Breaking Dawn tonight; clearly, levity is the order of the day. Enjoy. I can’t imagine that you won’t.

Two more of my favorites, after the jump!

Public internet shaming and sexism.

For those of us that have been online for a while, it is well understood that with or without a concrete reason, things spread online virally often garnering massive amounts of support in a flash, irrelevant of how serious, true or false allegations may be. You never know when you hit “publish,” what the outcome will be, what unintended consequences might come out of it and who’s gonna hate you now. This is also true for those that are “caught” doing things online and become villains overnight. It is often hard to trace the reason for why certain issues resonate and this idea of online vigilante justice is very much at the core of why many of us blog in the first ...

The latest groundbreaking study from CBS.

This is what mainstream media has come to — covering a study of a whopping 50 people on what dance moves men can make that appeal to women’s apparently instinctual mating habits. This sums up CBS’s compelling report:

Best line: “Women are also turned on by guys who make rapid movements of the right knee, the study found.”

No further comment necessary.
