A Letter Of Appreciation To My Partner In Motherhood
By Dana Rudolph
To Helen:
I know it is hard for you when people assume our son is mine alone. He's my spitting image -- but you were the one who bore him inside you for nine months. Do you remember how we used to joke about me being the chicken who laid the egg, and you the cow who gave the milk? I still can't believe we went for the complicated idea of using my egg and your womb, with a little outside assistance and a whole lot of injections. What a team we made -- and what a child we created.

This week we're talking about the women of sitcoms, that "period photo" that broke the Internet, sci-fi writers' predicitons for the future, Maggie Nelson's new memoir and the mistake that led to some of Andy Warhol's best work.
Women In Sitcoms Are Getting A Lot More Three-Dimensional. And That's A Good Thing
"Audiences have flocked to female-led sitcoms like '30 Rock,' 'New Girl,' 'Parks and Recreation' and 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,' leading to an apparent boom in complex, flawed comedy heroines on TV -- but also an unsettling degree of pushback from fans and critics. The bountiful variety of women leading sitcoms today seems like cause for unmitigated celebration, but not everyone is convinced." (Read more here)
About That Period Photo That Broke The Internet
"Every artist dreams of a defining moment, but [Rupi]Kaur did not intend to incite the wrath of the Instagram gods by tackling the taboo of menstruation. She is Indian-Canadian, and sensitive to the Hindu concept that a menstruating woman is ritually unclean. An undergraduate student at the University of Waterloo, she was executing a school project by testing out a theory inspired by a Susan Sontag essay on how context influences art consumption. She hoped to compare reactions on different social media platforms to a single work. Kaur's 'period photo' subsequently went viral, and not for the reasons she expected." (Read more here)
The Big Problem With How We Talk About Sex And Gender
"As a poet, Maggie Nelson is concerned with the sufficiency of words -- their ability to accurately convey how we feel, and who we are. As a visual artist, her partner Harry Dodge is less convinced. So when the two met and fell in love, a life event that her new memoir, The Argonauts, centers on, Nelson began to question her allegiance to language. 'Words,' she notes, 'change depending on who speaks them; there is no cure.'" (Read more here)
10 Science Fiction Writers Predict How Our World Will Change In The Next 10 Years
"As a whimsical thought experiment, The Huffington Post asked 10 science-fiction, speculative fiction, urban fantasy and dystopian authors to answer a single question: What will the next 10 years bring? Will drones become omnipresent? Will the already dissipating line between our gadgets and ourselves fade further? Or, will things remain, more or less, the same? Read what Edan Lepucki, Jo Walton and others had to say." (Read more here)
Andy Warhol Made A Mistake That Resulted In Some Of His Best Paintings
"In the early 1980s, notorious pop artist Andy Warhol created a series called 'Rorschach.' In liquid monochromes, Warhol crafted his own 'ink blots' on massive canvases (so that they'd cost more, probably). But he got one crucial thing wrong about his subject matter. He thought that patients were actually supposed to create ink blots for psychologists to decode -- not the other way around." (Read more here)
A Love Letter To My Mother, An Artist
"Back then, I thought... that every kid grew up with a reserve of acrylic paints, an extensive knowledge of the merits of various glues, and, most importantly, a mom who could do anything. I thought everyone made their own birdhouses, hammering and painting until a tiny home just appeared, right there on the table. Like my belief in No Television Week, I was obviously ill informed. I became an adult and realized this wasn't everyone's reality, that my sisters and I, we were some of the lucky ones. (Read more here)
Cleary Wolters, The Real Alex Vause, Shares Her Story For The First Time
"Reading a new book doesn't have to mean taking a huge step away from your favorite classic authors... many authors write works that are in conversation with, influenced by, or in the same tradition as many of your favorite classics. Of the many incredible books published this year, there's bound to be at least one that you'll love as much as your favorite dog-eared Victorian romance. We've taken five beloved classics and recommended an outstanding new book from 2014 based on each. Enjoy!" (Read more here)
'Unseen Cuba' Shows Us The Island's Breathtaking Beauty Through Aerial Photographs
"Lithuanian photographer Marius Jovaiša seems to be in love with the Caribbean Sea and its surroundings. Jovaiša, the founder of Unseen Pictures, a publishing and marketing company, has previously published books that show aerial photographs and showcase the beauty of places like Belize, Cancun and the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. But his latest work is generating particular interest because it focuses on a location that most Americans don't have access to: Cuba."

Getty/HuffPost Michelle Obama gives zero fucks. Emma Stone gives zero fucks. Cersei Lannister from “Game of Thrones” gives zero fucks. Abolitionist Sojourner Truth gave zero fucks. Pinterest is filled with skinny models wearing “Zero Fucks Given” tanks. Even the women in historical paintings give absolutely zero fucks. We have reached peak lack of fucks given.
There are things we should give fewer fucks about for the sake of self-preservation; certain times where one should hold up the phrase as a mantra to avoid being subsumed by other people’s bullshit. “Give zero fucks” functions like armor, sending a message to the world that we can handle anything that gets thrown at us.
A mob of men harass you on Twitter. Give fewer fucks.
People tell you you’re not qualified enough to do your job. Give fewer fucks.
You grow up learning that you are nothing without male sexual approval. Give fewer fucks.
The world tells you to be skinnier, prettier, better dressed, more “classically beautiful.” Give fewer fucks.
But it also can be deeply exhausting pretending not to give a fuck about everything -- and at times, it may prevent us from fully embracing the fucks we do need to give. The simple fact remains: to affect real change, and feel anything deeply, you probably need to give quite a few fucks.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's visit to Washington last week alarmingly pushed developments in that direction. In a blog he adapted from his well-received speech to the U.S. Congress, Abe proposes that the two democratic post-WWII allies join in a "seamless" strategic effort "to spread and nurture our shared values" and "stick to the path" that "won the Cold War" -- and, in so many words not spoken, to contain China.
By excluding China, the world's second largest economy, from the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership on trade while embracing the revision of Japan's pacifist constitution to allow military action beyond self-defense without an apology for colonialism and aggression acceptable to its Asian neighbors, the U.S. and Japan are laying the cornerstone of a new bloc system in the Pacific. As Minxin Pei writes, China's leaders will certainly see it that way and respond in kind.
Writing from Tokyo, prominent Japan scholar R. Taggart Murphy traces Prime Minister Abe's nationalist politics to the right wing stance of his grandfather, who was minister of munitions in the Tojo government during the war, and argues that Japan's strategic choice under Abe is to remain an American "protectorate" in an alliance aimed at thwarting China's ambitions in the region. Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan hopes against such realities that world powers in the coming decade will stop seeing their interests in a zero-sum manner.
Marking the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII in Europe in 1945, Ian Buruma writes that the post-war consensus on a social democratic welfare state in Europe has fatally withered. On the eve of the now concluded British elections, British Prime Minister David Cameron -- who ended up victorious at the polls -- Labour Party challenger Ed Miliband and rebel comedian Russell Brand cast the contest as a battle between privilege and fairness.
Google's Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen write that, in the next decade, computing power will move from becoming our "assistants" to our "advisors" and help solve some of our most intractable problems. XPrize founder Peter Diamandis sees global abundance arriving by 2025 through the convergence of exponential technologies. Jordan's Queen Rania writes that, without moral progress, this celebrated technological progress is an "illusion." Urban planner Kate Ascher projects that, a decade from now, skyscraping cities will begin to return to a convivial human scale. Environmentalist Bill McKibben warns that what we do -- or don't do -- in the next decade to curb climate change will have an enduring impact for millennia. Former Bogota Mayor Enrique Penalosa looks forward to the inclusive cities of the future.
As the negotiations on Iranian nuclear weapons move from the Lausanne framework accord toward final agreement, Iranian dissident Akbar Ganji explains that Tehran is so wary of IAEA inspections because it fears an "Iraqization" of the process -- inspections that lead to war because nothing has been found and is thus assumed hidden. "Political Animals: How Our Stone Age Brain Gets in the Way of Smart Politics" author Rick Shenkman believes Americans support the accord because of a "'projection bias' [that] leads us to believe others think like we do." World editor Charlotte Alfred examines what's behind Saudi Arabia's dramatic palace reshuffle. She also highlights 10 peace deals the world managed to pull off.
WorldPost Middle East Correspondent Sophia Jones reports from Tel Aviv on the protests of Israeli Jews of Ethiopian descent against discrimination and takes us to a Passover celebration by an ancient Samaritan sect on a West Bank hilltop.
Writing from Mexico City, former PEN International President Homero Aridjis offers his enthusiastic support for awarding PEN American Center's Freedom of Expression Courage Award to Charlie Hebdo magazine despite protests of some writers that it is racist and Islamophobic. To understand why Charlie Hebdo deserves the award, French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy encourages doubters to read Caroline Fourest's new book, "In Praise of Blasphemy."

Network president John Skipper released a passive-aggressive note announcing the departure Friday, saying he has "decided today that we are not going to renew Bill Simmons' contract. We have been in negotiations and it was clear it was time to move on." The move comes a day after Simmons -- who was suspended in September for calling NFL commissioner Roger Goodell a liar for the way he dealt with the Ray Rice domestic violence incident -- slammed Goodell for his handling of Deflategate. "He knows the results before the report is released to the public and yet, he doesn't have the testicular fortitude to do anything until he gauges public reaction," Simmons said. — Gabriel Arana (@gabrielarana) PULLQUOTE “It's not just that candidates are raising unprecedented amounts of money for these super PACs.

In this roundup, we hope to pack seven days of our site’s breaking news into a tote of travel-size tidbits, small enough to fit any overhead bin.
This week was sexy, scary, scandalous and stunning. Sound like too much alliteration? Allow us to explain:
First, a new report verified that the world's sexiest people are from Armenia. The Kardashians would've been factored in, but they were too busy taking selfies.
Things then escalated quickly on this super-steep automobile bridge in Japan. It might just be the most terrifying path in the world... unless you're on the edge of a cliff, that is.
Scandal ensued when flight attendants told us what they do in their 30-person communal dorms between flights. Activities include doing laundry, making spaghetti and chatting 'round the coffee table. Scaaandalous.
Then, we verified -- with your help! -- that Oregon may be the most stunning state in America. (This judgment was not based only on the donuts, though they did help.)
It's Friday, and we're heading back to the future. Happy weekend, travelers!

Authorities found the boy when they stopped a suspicious acting 19-year-old woman carrying the suitcase. She was later detained. The boy's father, who is a resident of Spain's Canary Islands, was also arrested when he attempted to cross the border hours later. He was trying to reunite with his son, but claimed he wasn't aware of how the boy was traveling. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  Terror levels at U.S. military bases were raised Thursday night, hours after officials warned that thousands of online followers of the so-called Islamic State reside within the country. "We have a general concern, obviously, that ISIL is focusing on the uniformed military and law enforcement," FBI Director James Comey told reporters. Military bases are now under "force protection bravo," meaning an "increased and predictable threat of terrorism," but U.S. Northern Command spokesman Jeff Davis said the "change is not tied to a specific, credible threat." | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Kurdish population in Iran's capital has sparked massive riots following the unexplained death of Farinaz Khosravani, a chambermaid at the Tara, Tehran's only four-star hotel. On Monday, the 25-year-old woman mysteriously fell from a fourth-floor hotel window, causing protesters to suspect foul play. They apparently set fire to the Tara after reading Internet reports that Khosravani was "trying to escape an Iranian official who was threatening to rape her," according to The New York Times. Police used tear gas to disburse a crowd of hundreds outside the hotel. Iranian government spokesmen claim that "no official was involved." | | | | | | | | |  Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Friday the Justice Department has launched an investigation of the Baltimore Police Department for a civil "pattern or practice" of excessive force that may have violated constitutional protections. On Wednesday, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake made a request for the probe, following the death of Freddie Gray, who died of a spinal cord injury sustained during an arrest on April 12 and whose death sparked rioting and protests in the city. Justice is also investigating the Baltimore police in criminal civil-rights probe related to the Gray case. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  British Prime Minister David Cameron met with Queen Elizabeth II on Friday afternoon, who asked him to form her next government, after his Conservative Party defied all pollsters' predictions to win a shock overall majority in the U.K. general election. The Scottish National Party wiped out Labour and the Liberal Democrats in Scotland, surging from six seats to 56 seats. Opposition Labour leader Ed Miliband managed to keep his seat, but called the election a "very disappointing and difficult night" for Labour and announced his resignation as party leader. The Liberal Democrats—who were part of the last coalition government—were almost wiped out, retaining just eight of their 57 seats nationwide. After holding on to his seat in Witney, Cameron called it a "strong night for the Conservative Party," and a "positive response to a positive campaign." | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  As the economy added 223,000 jobs in April, the U.S. unemployment rate slid down to 5.4 percent—the lowest it's been in seven years. The numbers were a sharp improvement from a poor performance in March, and experts day they give hope that the U.S. economy is on the road to recovery. The economy only added 85,000 jobs in March. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  Grantland founder Bill Simmons is out at ESPN, company president John Skipper announced Friday, less than a year after the network suspended the sports commentator for criticizing NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's handling of the Ray Rice sexual-assault case. "We have been in negotiations and it was clear it was time to move on," Skipper said in a statement. "ESPN's relationship with Bill has been mutually beneficial—he has produced great content for us for many years and ESPN has provided him many new opportunities to spread his wings. We wish Bill continued success as he plans his next chapter." ESPN remains committed to Grantland, Skipper added. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  A Russian cargo spacecraft that failed to deliver food and supplies to the International Space Station disintegrated on its way back to Earth on Friday. The Progress M-27M lost contact with its controllers in Russia shortly after its launch on April 28. Russia was unable to re-establish control of the spaceship, and it began an uncontrolled descent shortly thereafter. The ISS crew is not in immediate danger, experts say, and a U.S. ship with additional supplies may reach them as soon as mid-June. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  The Senate voted 98-1 on Thursday to force a congressional review of the Iranian nuclear deal being negotiated with Iran by the U.S. and other world powers. The bill, championed by Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), would prevent President Obama from lifting sanctions on Iran for 30 days while Congress reviews the details of any final nuclear arrangement. If Congress were to vote disapprove of the deal, it could block Obama from lifting some sanctions. The bill now goes to the House for final passage, and the White House has signaled that Obama would sign it. | | | | | | | | |  Don't call it Spanish flu. The World Health Organization issued guidelines Friday that caution against naming diseases after places, people, or animals, for fear that such names will bring stigma. Citing Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome and swine flu as examples, the agency recommended that names be "generic descriptive terms" instead. | | | | | | | | THE DAILY BEAST | ABOUT US | CONTACT US | © Copyright 2015 The Daily Beast Company LLC

Jim Messina successfully brought his knowledge of electing people not born in the United States to office to the British Conservative Party. And President Obama, speaking at Nike headquarters about TPP, urged the Senate to “Just Do It.” Funny, Nike’s factory foremen in Dongguan say the same thing. This is HUFFPOST HILL for Friday, May 8th, 2015: SWOOSH - Jim Kuhnhenn: "When President Barack Obama promotes trade, he likes to say that 95 percent of the world's markets are outside the nation's borders -- a potential goldmine for U.S.-made products. But Nike, where Obama made a pitch Friday, wants easier access to the U.S. market for the products it makes overseas. Obama's appearance at the headquarters of the giant athletic-wear company illustrates the competing, sometimes contradictory goals of trade and how one industry, footwear makers in particular, can encapsulate the debate that is churning around Obama's efforts to negotiate a Trans-Pacific agreement that would open up commerce among the U.S. and 11 other Pacific Rim countries…. He said this agreement is in America's best interest. 'Just do it,' Obama said, echoing Nike's slogan." [ AP] BOEHNER PLANS ABORTION VOTE - Alan Fram: "Republican leaders are planning a House vote next week on a bill banning late-term abortions after dropping a requirement that rape victims would qualify for the procedure only if they'd already reported the crime to authorities. Top House Republicans abruptly reversed plans to debate the measure in January after GOP women and moderates objected to that reporting requirement. Instead, the new version requires rape victims to have counseling or medical treatment at least 48 hours before an abortion." [ AP] OBAMA ADMIN DENYING STUDENT LOAN RELIEF - Shahien Nasiripour: "Federal law allows students who were defrauded by their colleges into taking out federal student loans to have their debts forgiven. The Obama administration has said repeatedly it will ensure aggrieved borrowers get this form of relief, a commitment that Education Undersecretary Ted Mitchell reiterated this week following the bankruptcy filing of troubled for-profit school operator Corinthian Colleges Inc. But that’s not helping Yvette Colon of New York. Colon, a 53-year-old East Harlem resident, says she is stuck with a worthless credential that’s saddled her with more than $51,000 in federal and private student loans. She attended Sanford-Brown Institute in Manhattan, a for-profit trade school owned by Career Education Corp., from 2006 to 2008, hoping to become a cardiac sonographer." [ HuffPost] DAILY DELANEY DOWNER - Nico Pitney has bad news: "The urban poor in the United States are experiencing accelerated aging at the cellular level, and chronic stress linked both to income level and racial-ethnic identity is driving this physiological deterioration. These are among the findings published this week by a group of prominent biologists and social researchers, including a Nobel laureate. Dr. Arline Geronimus, a visiting scholar at the Stanford Center for Advanced Study and the lead author of the study, described it as the most rigorous research of its kind examining how 'structurally rooted social processes work through biological mechanisms to impact health.'"

Follow us on Twitter - @HuffPostHill JOBS REPORT MEH - The unemployment rate fell to 5.4 percent, which is cool, but Dean Baker explains why the solid-seeming 223,000 jobs is slightly sad. "This is disappointing since the already weak March number was revised down by 41,000 to 85,000. Since the March number was held down by unusually bad weather, it was reasonable to expect more of a bounceback in April. With the downward revision, the two-month average is just 154,000, a considerable falloff from last year’s pace." [ CEPR.net] RANGEL LOSES CENSURE APPEAL - If his appeal was anything like his his floor speech during the 2010 debate over his censure, then we're not surprised. Jonathan Adler: "After a 2011 Politico story suggested that some committee staffers might have improperly shared information related to the complaints against him, Rep. Rangel sought to challenge his censure in federal court. According to Rep. Rangel,his censure violated relevant House rules and was unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause. Whatever the merits of Rep. Rangel’s substantive claim, he cannot bring his case in federal court. Today, in Rangel v. Boehner, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit concluded unanimously that federal courts lack jurisdiction over Rep. Rangel’s claims, as they are foreclosed by the Constitution’s Speech and Debate Clause." [ WaPo] CARSON SUPPORTS MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE - Look at Dr. Socialism over here. Maybe he wants to take his wealthiest patient's brain surgery and give everyone a little bit of brain surgery, too. Ben Kamisar: "Conservative presidential candidate Ben Carson says the $7.25 federal minimum wage should be raised. 'I think, probably, it should be higher than now,' Carson told CNBC’s John Harwood in an interview Friday. Carson added that government assistance often provides more than the minimum wage in several states, allowing people to ignore the long-term benefits of a job...His stance on the minimum wage makes Carson an outlier among the likely field of GOP opponents and comes with Democrats looking to make it a key issue in the 2016 election. Among fellow GOP contenders Carly Fiorina, former Gov. Mike Huckabee (Ark.) and Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.), Ted Cruz (Texas) and Marco Rubio (Fla.), Carson is the only one backing a wage hike. Two likely contenders, former Gov. Jeb Bush (Fla.) and Gov. Scott Walker (Wis.), don’t back an increase either." [ The Hill]  A resounding golf clap for the New York Post.GOP STRUGGLING TO FIND MURRAY CHALLENGER - Simone Pathe: "A Republican operative confirmed to CQ Roll Call the party is looking to target [Sen. Patty] Murray this cycle, but with many of the state’s most eligible Republicans expressing more interest in challenging the Democratic governor [Jay Inslee], a formidable candidate remains elusive. The man who could be the GOP’s top recruit is, publicly at least, noncommittal. Rep. Dave Reichert, a six-term congressman who’s flirted with statewide office before, told CQ Roll Call in a statement Monday, “My entire career I have always kept my options open. I have considered every possibility that has been put in front of me.” Reichert isn’t ruling out a Senate bid, but he’s more often mentioned as a gubernatorial contender. He could just as well decide to stay put in Washington’s 8th District, which, thanks to redistricting, is now safer turf for a Republican...As for other top recruits from the congressional delegation, few Washington State sources expect Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers to risk her position as House Republican Conference chairwoman in a competitive race against the four-term senator." [ Roll Call] WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN THE UK ELECTION: AXELROD V. MESSINA - We hear Mark Penn did some really top notch polling for Plaid Cymru. Nick Gass and Kevin Robillard: "At 9:21 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday in America, former top Obama aide David Axelrod conceded the UK election. 'Congratulations to my friend @Messina2012 on his role in the resounding Conservative victory in Britain,' Axelrod wrote on Twitter. The surprisingly decisive victory for Prime Minister David Cameron and his Tories also delivered a big win to Jim Messina, President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign manager, who advised the Conservative Party and triumphed over his fellow Obama aide, Axelrod, who advised the Labour Party...Messina and Axelrod weren’t the only operatives abroad. Reggie Love, Obama’s former body man, helped the Conservatives with their field and social media efforts. Two partners in Axelrod’s old firm, AKPD, Larry Grisolano and Mike Donilon, were also advising the Labour Party and its then-leader Ed Miliband. (Miliband resigned early this morning following the election defeat.) And Blue State Digital’s political director, Matthew McGregor, worked on Labour’s digital and rapid response efforts."
