Ed Miliband Caught Sneakily Eating Something Proves He Is The Kid We All Once Were
Everyone wants to know what he was eating.
This week, the Labour leader gave the keynote address at his party's final conference before the general election, setting out the party's vision.

The rest of the shadow cabinet also delivered addresses about policies related to their focal areas, and Miliband was often present on stage, clapping, and nodding along.
But sometimes his mind wandered.
Now a video has emerged that shows Miliband is still pretty much the kid we all once were, sneakily eating Skittles at the back of the class. Here he is, fiddling for something in his pocket while Ed Balls is speaking.

Conservatives Launch 'Unprecedented' Campaign Against Pro-Marriage Equality Republicans
National Organization for Marriage, Family Research Council, and CitizenLink lash out against candidates “working to actively alienate the Republican base.”
Olaf Faeskorn/Tisei for Congress
DeMaio for Congress
WASHINGTON — Conservative activists are launching "an unprecedented campaign" against three Republican candidates — two of whom are out gay men — because of their support for marriage equality and abortion.
The National Organization for Marriage, Family Research Council Action, and CitizenLink "will mount a concerted effort to urge voters to refuse to cast ballots" for Republican House candidates Carl DeMaio in California and Richard Tisei in Massachusetts and Republican Senate candidate Monica Wehby in Oregon, according to a letter sent to Republican congressional and campaign leaders on Thursday.
"We cannot in good conscience urge our members and fellow citizens to support candidates like DeMaio, Tisei or Wehby," the presidents of the three groups write. "They are wrong on critical, foundational issues of importance to the American people. Worse, as occupants of high office they will secure a platform in the media to advance their flawed ideology and serve as terrible role models for young people who will inevitably be encouraged to emulate them."
DeMaio and Tisei are the only out LGBT federal candidates from the Republican Party to be appearing on the ballot this fall.
"The Republican Party platform is a 'statement of who we are and what we believe.' Thus, the platform supports the truth of marriage as the union of husband and wife, and recognizes the sanctity and dignity of human life," NOM President Brian S. Brown said in a statement.
Brown called it "extremely disappointing" to see candidates supported "who reject the party's principled positions on these and other core issues."
Of the effort to urge people to oppose DeMaio, Tisei, and Wehby, he said, "We cannot sit by when people calling themselves Republicans seek high office while espousing positions that are antithetical to the overwhelming majority of Republicans."
The letter was sent to House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Greg Walden, National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Jerry Moran, and others in Republican congressional leadership.
In it, the three conservative groups also warned that it is a "grave error" for the party to be supporting "candidates who do not hold core Republican beliefs and, in fact, are working to actively alienate the Republican base."

"The Maze Runner" And "The Boxtrolls" Surprisingly Have A Lot In Common
Escape from the box!

The Boxtrolls
Laika Inc./Focus Features
There's an accidental but oddly resonant double feature in theaters this week: the stop-motion animated movie The Boxtrolls, opening Sept. 26, and The Maze Runner, the latest YA dystopian drama to triumph at the box office. One's aimed at teens while the other looks to please hip parents along with their kids, but at their centers, both are stealthy portrayals of communities that have accepted oppression as their due, at least until an outsider forces them to change.
Also, they've got a real cube theme going on.
The Maze Runner, like fellow franchises Divergent and The Hunger Games, may ultimately have revolution on its mind, but in the first installment, the characters have no idea what they'd even rebel against. Their memories have been wiped, and aside from their names, they don't remember anything about their lives before they were dropped into the giant labyrinth in which they spend months or years. They've figured out the rules by painful trial and error, and settled into a tenuous peace in the grassy four-walled enclosure at the center of the maze, the only place that's safe.

21 Things You Need To Remember From The "Bones" Season 9 Finale
It was a cliff-hanger, people. A real cliff-hanger.
It starts all cozy with Brennan teaching Booth German.
In the Season 9 finale, titled "The Recluse in the Recliner," Booth (David Boreanaz) is up for a promotion to an administrative position in Berlin, and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) is focusing on teaching him directional adverbs — "right," "left," "up," and "down" — which will most certainly come in handy. Then, Booth gets a mysterious phone call about the McNamaras and the FBI.
Fox
Turns out, the call came from a burner cell. And, upon tracing the call, it seems the burner cell got burned, along with the caller.
Yes, the man who called Booth is found dead in a trailer. Is it murder? The answer is yes, it is murder.
Fox
They identify the man as Wesley Foster, a journalist and conspiracy theorist.
Was he a harmless quack? Let me ask another question: Do harmless quacks get murdered? No siree bob, they do not. And indeed, back at the lab, the team determines that he did not die of smoke inhalation, which is to say that he was DEAD BEFORE THE EXPLOSION THAT WAS MADE TO LOOK LIKE AN ACCIDENT. Do dead bodies drink alcohol and then fall asleep while their cigarettes are lit? No siree bob, they do not. Better luck next time, dudes-trying-to-cover-up-murder.

Wesley's hard drive was stolen. How will science know what he had discovered?
Well, Wesley was keeping his files on a high-grade steel nipple ring. Finally, nipple rings are getting the good media attention they deserve. Nipple rings: not just for ruffling your moms anymore.

This Straight Mormon Guy Photobombed An Anti-Gay Rally
Justin Anderson, a self-described 22-year-old Mormon and LGBT ally, told BuzzFeed News he has no regrets and will speak out for LGBT rights in Utah again. “If I don’t stand up for someone’s rights, then who am I to ask someone to stand up for me when I need it?”

"Inalienable rights trumps states rights!" That's the message 22-year-old Justin Anderson held to show his support for LGBT rights during a recent rally in opposition to marriage equality for same-sex couples at the Utah State Capitol. He was likely the only marriage equality supporter there.
Dozens of people led by conservative groups gathered for the rally Sept. 18 in support of "traditional marriage" and decried families headed by same-sex parents as harmful to children.
Anderson stood with his poster among many others under the capitol rotunda, several of whom held their own signs with messages like "marriage means a mother and a father for every child" and "tradition marriage blesses children" and "a states rights issue."
At one point during the rally, activists projected photos of same-sex couples and their children, saying the kids will "pay the price" because of married same-sex couples, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.
"The rally wasn't just an attack on same-sex couples, but on their character," Anderson told BuzzFeed News when reached by phone. "This was not just about opposing same-sex marriage, but it was opposing the character and integrity of the LGBT community."
Some in attendance thought Anderson, who is of Mormon faith and a student at the LDS Business College, was there in support of the rally's message, but many others made insulting remarks to him even before he got up the steps into the building.
"An older couple told me to take my gay agenda and burn in hell," Anderson told BuzzFeed News. "I'm Mormon, and the Mormon community generally opposes marriage equality, so I was told that I was misrepresenting my faith. That was an insult to me because that's not how I understand it."
Anderson said countless rally participants even refused to shake his hand and simply walked away after reading his sign. "That made me feel lower than dirt," he said. "But that was mainly the response from people."
Anderson said he was invited to participate as a volunteer at the rally by the National Organization for Marriage, a group notorious for opposing marriage equality across the country, and had initially planned on going merely as an observer. That changed hours before the event, when he made his sign in hopes of being joined by others who support LGBT rights — but nobody did.
"What sort of inspired me to do this is that I believe opposing same-sex marriage violates peoples' rights," he said. "If I don't stand up for someone's rights, then who am I to ask someone to stand up for me when I need it?"
But Anderson said he's received little support from people in his life for taking such a public stand at the rally.
"I've received more concern from people," he said. "People have been trying to reach out to me with concern, saying they're worried about me and can't understand why I would do this especially because I'm a straight person. I've been warned with people telling me they want to disaccoiate with me because they can't be friends with someone who stands for marriage equality."
Since images of Anderson holding his sign appeared in the news, he said he's lost several friends and colleagues. When asked if he regrets showing his support for the LGBT community, Anderson said, "absolutely not."
"I don't regret anything I've said or anything I've done," he said. "I know I'll be on the right side of history. There are a lot of people in the Utah community who are afraid to stand up and speak out even if they agree because they're afraid of the backlash. I hope other people will be inspired to stand up as well. You should never be ashamed of something you've done when what you've done is right."

8 Times Since 2008 That Yahoo And AOL Were Rumored To Be Doing A Deal
Again and again and again, all the way back to 2008.
Robert Galbraith / Reuters
Andrew Kelly / Reuters
"The past is never dead. It's not even past," wrote William Faulkner, who could have been talking about yet another round of people calling for a merger between Yahoo and AOL.
AOL shares are spiking after activist hedge fund Starbaord Value, famous for its crusade against the management of Olive Garden owner Darden Restaurants, wrote a letter to the board of Yahoo saying it should consider a combination with AOL.
The idea is not a new one. Or an original one. The proposed pairing seems to pop nearly ever year, with advisors, company executives, or private equity investors pushing for a deal. The shares of both companies are notoriously sensitive to any rumors or speculation on a merger and have been driven up by just analyst notes saying a deal is a possibility, even if they cite no real news.
Helping fuel the speculation this time are Yahoo's formidable cash reserves — bolstered by their large holdings of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba — as well as the fact that the companies two chiefs, Marissa Mayer at Yahoo and Tim Armstrong, are both veterans of Google. The two companies also are in the same flagging business — general interest web properties with huge traffic numbers supported by display ads.
Here's a complete history of the rumors, which stretch back to at least 2008.

"Bones" Won't Be The Same Without Sweets
“The world’s a lot better than you think it is…”
Fox
Dr. Lance Sweets died in a parking lot in the Season 10 premiere of Bones. John Francis Daley had played the beleaguered FBI psychologist since Season 3, where we met him as a 22-year-old with a doctorate in psychology.
In his first scene in the series, Dr. Brennan (Emily Deschanel) insults Sweets' "meaningless exercises," Booth (David Boreanaz) insults his youth, and Brennan says, "I don't care how young you are" — which makes him smile — before she adds, "I've never believed in psychotherapy." In his final moments, the dying man comforted Booth and Brennan: "The world's a lot better than you think it is." Earlier in the episode, Brennan calls his discipline "pseudo-science," but she also calls him a friend.
He was a friend because he was charmingly dorky.
;) <3, he says, in actual words.
