Anthony Bourdain’s “Parts Unknown” episode 4 recap: Quebec is Canada’s culinary capital

“I love Montreal,” Anthony Bourdain states in a voice over at the beginning of tonight’s episode of Parts Unknown. “It is my favorite place in Canada. The people who live there are tough, crazy bastards.”

So begins what appears to be Bourdain’s most gluttonous dive into a country so far in Parts Unknown. This episode, while billed in CNN’s press materials as an exploration of Canada by rail, is so much a love letter to Quebec that the other provinces should file serious grievances with their broadcasting authorities.

The Day My Therapist Dared Me to Have Sex With Her

 
It's the waning moments of my fourth session with a new therapist. I’m holding back — and she knows it. My entire body feels tense, not ideal for the setting. I try to relax, but the plush leather couch crumples under me when I shift, making the movements extraordinary. I’ve barely looked into my therapist’s blue eyes at all, and yet I think the hour has gone very well. Of course it has. On the surface, when the patient has been highly selective of the discussion topics, therapy always resembles a friendly get-together.

How Photographers Have Helped Shape the Way We Think About the Nuclear Age

 
Since the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, photographers have been there to capture images of nuclear blasts. And whether they have been scientists working for governments, photojournalists on assignment, or artists responding on their own terms, their images have helped shape the way people have perceived the Atomic Age.

Cabins, the New American Dream

According to legend, the cabin and the shack are ideal launchpads for remarkable lives, but lately they’ve become homes to aspire to — particularly for overburdened types whose acquisitive binging has made them want to purge. Beginning in the late 1990s and tracking, approximately, the rise of the Internet, the so-called Tiny House movement has promoted the bracing, old romance of scaled-down living in miniature spaces.

You’ll never walk alone (but you should): Science proves doing stuff alone is better

Doing stuff alone can be hard. People think you have no friends if you are alone at a movie, concert or restaurant. Then there are the stigmas. What kind of people do things alone? Smelly people and mass murderers, that’s who (‘He was kind of a loner, mostly kept to himself’).

Campagne internationale contre la robotique sexuelle

Plus d’un mois après l’appel lancé par 1000 scientifiques à travers le monde contre l’avènement de l’intelligence artificielle dans des robots militaires tueurs, un autre signal d’alarme a été activé mardi par deux chercheurs en robotiques contre les robots créés à des fins sexuelles.
