pop ladies

you've probably listened to the ri ri album by now and learned that its just ok. i was reading this article discussing the transitions that several female pop artists have undertaken as of late, and they mentioned an interview with sia (who also had an album come out today). it's a really interesting look into how she crafts songs for artists. READ IT.

Ellen's new little puppy

different in a good way.

The Senate is normally a divisive place, full of shouting matches, endless filibusters, and the occasional violent caning. But yesterday, in the aftermath of the D.C. blizzard, everyone who showed up in the chamber had at least one thing in common—they were all women.

Senator Lisa Murkowski, a Republican from Alaska, pointed this out in her closing statement. "As we convene this morning," she said, "you look around the chamber, and the presiding officer [Senator Susan Collins, R-ME] is female. All of our parliamentarians are female. Our floor managers are female. All of our pages are female."

"This was not orchestrated in any way shape or form," she added. "We came in this morning and looked around and thought 'something is different this morning'—different in a good way, I might add." (via)

invisible cities, illustrated.

Lima-based architect Karina Puente has a personal project: to illustrate each and every "invisible" city from Italo Calvino's 1972 novel. The book, which imagines imaginary conversations between the (real-life) Venetian explorer Marco Polo and the aged Mongol ruler Kublai Khan has been instrumental in framing approaches to urban discourse and the form of the city.

For those who ask me what my notifications look like when I turn them on 🙈💃🏻🤗 #IloveYouAll

A video posted by Jen Selter (@jenselter) on Jan 20, 2016 at 12:26pm PST

Perhaps inspired by footballer Demy de Zeeuw, who made a video of his notifications that went modestly viral last week, Selter decided to see what would happen if she switched on notifications. With 8.4 million followers, and hundreds of thousands of likes and comments on every photo she posts, this is what her notifications looked like on Monday. (via)

dang it!

Falcon lands on droneship, but the lockout collet doesn't latch on one the four legs, causing it to tip over post landing. Root cause may have been ice buildup due to condensation from heavy fog at liftoff.

AMNH is unveiling their new big-ass dinosaur tomorrow!

it doesn't even fit!

This task—inserting a replica of the biggest creature to ever walk the planet—is made easier by modern manufacturing methods. Because the museum only has around 40 percent of the dinosaur’s bones, they have to make the remaining 60 percent from scratch. Fortunately, dinosaurs are symmetrical; if a bone on one side of the body is missing its complement, paleontologists can replicate its mirror image and use it to fill in the gap. In the old days, curators would create casts and fill them with plaster or fiberglass. Today, they can take surface scans and then digitally flip the bone around, once it’s a file on a computer. The pieces get 3-D printed with a foam milling machine, and then coated in resin or fiberglass, “like a surfboard,” Norell says. The result is a much lighter set of bones, which allows for a more agile rigging method. “This one will appear like it’s floating.” (via)

as far as i'm concerned it was volunteer orange.

here is a mixtape erykah badu made

for the bees.

+++BEATS BEES LIKE FOR B-BOYS AND B-GIRLS+++ by Erykah She Ill Badu on Mixcloud

As another feather in her cap for this prolific streak she’s been having of late, she went on Zane Lowe’s Beats show right before U Cain’t Use My Phone and dropped a mix of jams she loves, staying wavy and dedicating it to the bees (actual bees) because, she wrote, “Save the bees, else we ain’t gone have no where to fight and discriminate… cause they aint have’n that shit on MARS.” (via)

the BQE trees will be in queens this year

Suspended Forest 2016 Installation at Knockdown Center from Michael Neff on Vimeo.

Suspended Forest has been shown twice previously shown in an unauthorized, unused space under the BQE along Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg. Those installations were removed by the city within days. The exhibition at Knockdown Center, on view for a month and configured in a grid, allows for a much different experience, most importantly time for the trees to shed their needles into halos on the smooth concrete floor below. Paired with the subtle pine fragrance of the trees and the opportunity for quiet contemplation, the exhibition encourages repeated viewing.

holy moly watch out

Two people have been injured in Turkey after huge chunks of snow fell off a roof and hit passers-by.
The snow had piled up on the roof of a mosque in the city of Rize.
The incident was captured on CCTV, and shows pedestrians trying to free those who were buried by the snow.
Two women were taken to hospital for treatment.
