Last week we brought you news of a just-born otter pup at the Seattle Aquarium—and now we can tell you it’s a girl! Above is footage of mother Aniak’s handing off the pup for her first veterinary exam. Seattle Aquarium’s spokesman Tim Kuniholm writes:

Through positive reinforcement Aniak has been allowing us to weigh the pup and do some minimal handling the last few days. So this morning, our veterinarian, Lesanna, was able to do a physical examination on the pup poolside and confirmed it is indeed a girl. Her current weight as of (Tuesday) is 4.78 lbs (right on target!)

I’ve never even seen Lost and this is funny.

If you liked that, and you like being confused, you’ll love Lost.

“ When we are dealing with the police as an institutional structure, we are not dealing with a group of individuals acting on their own personal feelings and judgements, but rather, with a group of functionaries who have, as part of the terms of their jobs, agreed to set their personal opinions and feelings aside and instead act as obedient agents of the state… Thus, if we are referrig to “the police” as an institution, rather than the personal feelings of individual police, no, they are not “part of the 99%,” they are the enforcers of the 1%’s power.

This is your new Seattle bus ad.

Which reminds me: did everyone else catch the funny discussion on the McLauglin Group last week in which Eleanor Clift asserts that these posters, Big Love, and the Book of Mormon are making “kind of cool these days to be a Mormon” [mclaughlin]?

At a glance, I keep thinking the ad says “i’m a moron”

Jam on, dadjammers. Find yourself in this screencap and you can say you were there when it all began.

There is a horse in the Apple Store and no one sees it but me.

I think, “Why?” What is the villain here that blinds all of these people to this situation? Am I nuts for thinking this is exceptional? Does anyone else see this? Did I accidentally drop acid and not realize? I must take a photo….

I guess that the tradeoff for getting to see the Eschaton scene from Infinite Jest filmed (by Michael Schur!) is that it’s in a music video from the Decemberists, in which Colin Meloy casts himself as Michael Pemulis, it rains instead of snows, and Otis P. Lord makes it off the court without a computer monitor smashed over his head.

I don’t think anything is worth watching a grown man wearing a greek captain’s hat cling to a chain link fence while singing “Ah-Wooooooooooooooo,” but this is close.

Is this how you comment in the tumblr world? You have to “reblog” someones shiz and then add your shiz above it?

rosiedee101:

I saw this one on someone else’s list of 101 things when I was searching about for ideas. “That sounds pretty hard!” I thought. “That would make a pretty good, challenging goal that I would have to work up to!”

Then one night, I thought I’d better get a baseline and see just how much work I was going to have to do in order to work up to such a goal.

Oh.

Not hard.

THING #23: DONE. (1/101)

Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t get one.

Don’t like abortions? Don’t get one.

Don’t like drugs? Don’t do them.

Don’t like sex? Don’t have it.

Don’t like your rights taken away? Don’t take away anybody elses.
