A conversation with Lynn Margulis is an effective way to change the way you think about life. Not just your life. All life. Scientists today recognize five groups of life: bacteria, protoctists (amoebas, seaweed), fungi (yeast, mold, mushrooms), plants, and animals.

Smiling comes in two distinct forms: genuine and polite. The genuine kind are those that result from a friend showing you a hilarious new grumpy cat meme. These smiles are spontaneous and indicative of pleasure. Polite smiles, on the other hand, are the ones reserved for the awkward encounters with your coworker at the coffee[...]
Chris Weston’s poster for a notional “Carry On X-Men” has me wanting very badly to inhabit his alternate universe. He says of the film, “Despite the bawdy humour, ‘Carry on X-Men’ is in many ways more faithful to the source material than Bryan Singer’s films.
