Chart of the Day: “Explicit Support for Same-Sex Marriage by State and Age” (pdf) by Jeff Lax and Justin Phillips of the Department of Political Science at Columbia University. Created using data collected for a joint paper on gay rights.

Prof. Lax breaks it down:

Seven states cross the 50% mark overall as of our current estimates, but the generation gap is huge. If policy were set by state-by-state majorities of those 65 or older, none would allow same-sex marriage. If policy were set by those under 30, only 12 states would not allow-same-sex marriage.

Marilyn Monroe, photographed with Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and her admittedly superior breasts on the set of Some Like It Hot (1959, dir. Billy Wilder) (via drmacro)

“[The tailor on Some Like It Hot] measured me, 16, 34, 43, 18, 19, 18,” Tony Curtis later recalled, “and then he goes to Marilyn - this is all in the same day and this is the truth…He comes in to Marilyn’s room and Marilyn had on a pair of panties and a white blouse and that’s all. He put the tape around her legs, looked up at Marilyn and said, ‘You know, Tony Curtis has got a better-looking ass than you. She was standing there, she unbuttoned her blouse, and said, “He doesn’t have tits like these!’”

For once, I think we need these salty stories, because Monroe needs all the salt she can get. The Marilyn industry is so deeply soaked in her crack-ups-shaking the poor woman until we can hear the slosh of booze and the rattle of pills-that it’s a relief to get back to the floozie with the forked tongue.

Edible Bacon Fat Candle Is Here to Tease NYC

For too long bacon lovers have cursed both the darkness and their deceptive, maddeningly inedible, bacon-scented candles. Who hasn’t raised a bacon-scented candle to their lips and tried to drink the savory-smelling wax, only to be badly burned by the meretricious aroma and nauseating flavor?

And yet, halfway across America, diners at David Burke’s Primehouse in Chicago can enjoy their bacon candle smell and eat it, too. Primehouse chef Rick Gersh’s bacon candle reportedly smells as good as it tastes, and the in-house butcher shop sells it to guests.

All of this has come to light because Chef Gersh is in town for a couple of days cooking at David Burke’s Fishtail on the Upper East Side. We’re told his candle is made with rendered bacon fat and stands two inches tall with a vegetable base wick; once lit the candle lets off a bacon aroma and is then poured over dry aged beef, scallop sashimi, “or any other delectable treat worthy enough to be covered in bacon.” Hm, how about pouring it directly down our throats, does that work?

The edible candle is not currently used at David Burke’s restaurants in New York—though it would fit right in at the eccentrically festive Townhouse—but you can order it from Chicago by calling (312) 660-6000. It costs $5, plus shipping and handling.

Left vs Right | Information Is Beautiful

This is just a little unfair.

I don’t know, growing up with both sides… it seems about right - drastic and simplified, but accurate.
