Google Comes Out For LGBT Rights, The Day Before Opening Ceremonies

“The practice of sport is a human right.”

On Thursday night, Google debuted a new doodle that both celebrates the 2014 Sochi Olympics while also alluding to LGBT rights and, presumably, Russia's anti-LGBT propaganda law. If you click the image, you're taken to a page of search results for the Olympic charter and the Google logo itself becomes a rainbow flag.

BuzzFeed has reached out to Google for comment.

Update: The same doodle appears on Google Russia.

Russian Olympian's Snowboard Appears To Be A Tribute To Pussy Riot

0
0

Alexey Sobolev’s snowboard features a feminine figure wearing a ski mask — the signature look of the dissident Russian punk group.

Though he hasn't said so outright, Russian Olympian Alexey Sobolev's snowboard appears to be a tribute to Pussy Riot, the dissident Russian punk collective known for performing in ski masks. The group became internationally known after performing an anti-Vladimir Putin anthem in a Moscow cathedral, an act for which two of their members were jailed. (They were released six weeks ago.)

TAR-TASS / Landov

"I wasn't the person who designed it," Sobolev told the Associated Press reporter who asked him if the similarity was intentional. He'll be back in competition tomorrow in the semifinals of the slopestyle event.

Why You Need To Watch The New Amazon Pilot "Transparent"

0
0

The latest batch of Amazon Studios pilots are now available for viewing. In the lovely, funny Transparent , Jeffrey Tambor plays a father of adult children who starts to transition.

Jeffrey Tambor.

Amazon Studios

Amazon Studios' piloting system for television shows is democratic and inventive, and feels like a good model for the future: The site launches a slew of TV pilots all at once on its Prime service, and then decides what to turn into series based on feedback from customers and the traction the shows get. The first bunch of Amazon pilots were posted last April — 14 went up, and four became series — and, as of this Thursday, 10 more are now available to watch and critique. X-Files creator Chris Carter did one; mystery writer Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch character has been adapted for television by Eric Overmyer; and there are five kids shows, including one by Wonder Pets creator Josh Selig. It's pretty cool. I can't wait to watch all of them.

But it's also anxiety-producing. Because what if I never see another episode of Transparent?

In creator/executive producer/director Jill Soloway's pilot, Jeffrey Tambor plays Mort, a well-off Los Angeles father of three adult children (Gaby Hoffmann, Jay Duplass, and Amy Landecker) who is transitioning into womanhood. Divorced from their mother (Judith Light) for years, and having been a "pussy hound," as his son describes him, he fears telling his children. Especially because, as he tells his transgender support group, "I don't know how I raised three people who cannot see beyond themselves."

Transparent is a half hour, and it's certainly funny. The kids' lives are in varied stages of upper-middle-class white-person crisis. Hoffmann's Ali has no career, her Price Is Right prize money from six years ago has run out, and she seeks sexual fulfillment from working out with a bootcamp personal trainer. Landecker's wealthy stay-at-home wife/mother character, Sarah, seems disconnected from her husband, and is possibly a lesbian. And Duplass plays Josh, a man-child who dates women who are too young for him.

Jay Duplass and Gaby Hoffmann.

Amazon Studios

If you've seen Afternoon Delight, Soloway's 2013 movie that was also set among monied, neurotic Los Angeles Eastsiders, you will recognize these aging hipster types as hers. (I will note here that Soloway is my neighbor in that very same Eastside.) It's a world that feels lived-in already, and is a rich setup — it's also beautifully and filmically shot by Jim Frohna, who was the cinematographer on Afternoon Delight as well.

Transparent's examination of fascinating yet mundane lives has, of course, a big twist driven by Mort as he tries to evolve into Maura. Tambor, who has been acting for television for 37 years, plays his patented unhinged, patrician dad type with a very different aim here. As a father at dinner with his kids, he can be shout-y; as Maura, he seems gentle, and his eyes are full of sadness. But also some hope.

Transgender activists might well criticize casting Tambor, a cisgender actor, to play a trans character. Yet with the cultural and political climate for transgender people changing every day — as we see in wonderful ways with Laverne Cox's ascent and in troubling ones with the insensitive, cruel coverage of whatever is happening with Bruce Jenner — Transparent feels contemporary and significant. More, please.

Sploshing is about having fun — sexy fun — with food. And if you're into sploshing, you're going to get very excited when someone is naked and covered in food. Or pelted with the food. Or sits in the food. Or when that food is poured on them.

Food like whipped cream, pudding, ice cream, ketchup... you know, messy foods.

Hello, Kitty, indeed.

Hello Kitty is like the Rob Lowe of girls' toys — she's been around literally forever and apparently never ages. Here's evidence: Flickr user Iron Lace has scanned a Sanrio retailer's catalog from 1982 and the products contained within are still precious. What's even a little creepy is how they don't seem that dated...a whole 32 years later.
