This Is What Men Pin On Pinterest
The top pinned images from its male users, according to Pinterest, are about fashion, hiking, and DIY.
1. Pinterest’s users are still overwhelmingly female, but the number of male users on the site has increased 73% in the last year, according to recently released data from the site’s researchers.
And while Pinterest will not share a figure for the exact number of men using the site, the company offered a glimpse this week into what content men are pinning the most: fashion, hiking, and DIY.
These three images above, specifically, have been repinned the most in the past month, Larkin Brown said, a researcher at Pinterest: a close-up shot of a dapper-looking suit, a stuffed military daypack for hiking, and a beautiful infographic on how to build a platform bed.
The popularity of specific images and categories on Pinterest are hard to quantify because images can be pinned and repinned multiple times throughout the system, Mithya Srinivasan, a representative from Pinterest, told BuzzFeed Life. “Nothing is numerically ranked,” Srinivasan said. But the company’s data scientists said that repins are the most effective way to measure an item’s influence.
4. In addition to these top three categories, Pinterest said its male users are also pinning travel:
To an obsessive observer of Pinterest trends (which I am), one thing that seems to differ between the popular pins of women and men — or at least what the company said are the popular male pins — is the overall quality of the photos and the buy-ability. That is, the photos Pinterest said men pin were more likely to be products linked to a merchandiser’s site than just a photo of a person wearing that item. And while some of the most repinned photos on Pinterest at large might be a gritty shot of a beige casserole or someone’s random gray hallway, the top male pins the company sent BuzzFeed Life all looked professionally produced.
This could be related to Pinterest’s new partnership with brands, which can promote pins targeted to certain interests or demographics, or because of Pinterest’s own work to increase their number of male users by saturating the men’s fashion and other traditionally masculine categories. Or, maybe men just like looking at pretty pictures.

Vezina Trophy winner Thomas mulling sabbatical?
http://twitter.com/#!/Proteautype/status/208365856126808064
According to sources, Vezina Trophy winner and royal pain Tim Thomas is considering sitting out next season.
Let us rephrase.
The 38-YEAR-OLD Tim Thomas is thinking about taking a sabbatical.
Now isn’t the time to be wasting another year of your hockey life, Timmy.
Many speculate, however, that Thomas is only hinting at this to force the Bruins into trading him. Thomas has one year left on his contract which pays him $3 million, although his cap hit is $5 million. His no-trade clause lifts July 1.
Amen. In Rask we trust. RT @martysg Tim Thomas demonstrates yet again…there's no "I" in TEAM and there's no "team" in Tim #fb
— Mike Landers (@ukplissken) June 1, 2012
If T. Thomas really said he would sit out a year, he is using the only leverage he has in trying to determine where he lands in a trade.
— Marc Bertrand (@Marc_Bertrand) June 1, 2012
Funny to think 1 year ago today, Game 1 of the SCF, nobody had any problem with Tim Thomas. Why has that changed?
— Eric Wilbur (@GlobeEricWilbur) June 1, 2012
Ya Tim Thomas is def a team player he is gunna take his last year off with the #bruins and make it do he can't be traded and still get paid

Graham, Ayotte ‘disturbed’ by Rice meet: ‘Concerns greater than before’
http://twitter.com/#!/jamiedupree/status/273455177351184385
Senators McCain, Graham and Ayotte met with lying liar who lies, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, today.
RT @frankthorpnbc: Sens McCain, Ayotte and Graham leave their meeting with Susan Rice in the Capitol #NBCPolitics instagr.am/p/SifG4Fkztz/
— NBC News (@NBCNews) November 27, 2012
Evidently, the answers Ms. Rice provided to them regarding what happened in Benghazi were true to form: Incompetence at best, lies at worst.

Graham on Rice: “If you don’t know what happened, just say you don’t know what happened. The American people got bad information.”

Graham: “It was unjustified to give information {on attack that was false} by Rice and Obama just weeks before an election.”

Not even close to getting answers to basic questions. What a surprise! But, wait. It’s Graham, so … squish alert? So far, he won’t rule out a vote to confirm Rice for Secretary of State.
HMMM. RT @domeniconbc: Graham can’t answer if he’d support Rice for SOS… still has many questions, he says

Hmm.
And from the Left? Good, old sexism and race card playing, natch.
Anyone else think Ayotte is the token woman McCain and Graham needed to help them attack Rice? Too bad they couldn’t get a black woman.

Disgusting.

Yep. Americans demand answers, not more lies and incompetence.
Twitchy will continue to update with further developments.
Update:
Predictably, Lefties are continuing to bash Kelly Ayotte as a gender-traitor for having the temerity to question Susan Rice’s integrity and competence.
29 Reasons You Should Never Go To The South Of France
So cliché.
1. People have this idea that the south of France is some kind of heaven on earth.

2. Like it’s this coastal paradise with unparalleled views.

11. If it wasn’t ruined by all the quaint little villages.

12. It’s way too easy to get lost in all the little back streets.

17. And you’re forced to venture out on that disconcertingly blue water.

20. If you get too far from the beach, then you have all of the unnatural wildlife to deal with.
21. And you’ll probably get accidentally drenched in some secret waterfall.
22. There’s just nothing remotely interesting about the natural landscape.
25. The wineries might as well close their doors, because what even is this?
29. This place is abhorrent and you should never, ever go there.

Chrissy Teigen ‘would have 100% flipped that light switch’ on juror
http://twitter.com/#!/chrissyteigen/status/356954144537444352
As Twitchy reported, the first of the George Zimmerman jurors to speak publicly appeared tonight on “Anderson Cooper 360″ (in shadow) to give her take on the trial and the jury’s not guilty verdict. More than a few viewers fantasized that her face would be revealed, and if model Chrissy Teigen were working the lights, those viewers would have gotten their wish.
