- Twin Sisters of the Day


When twin sisters Kian and Remee Hodgson were born, there was a one-in-a-million chance that one girl would inherit all-white genes and the other all-black genes from their mixed-race parents. Seven years later, they look remarkably alike despite their different skin colors.

“They don’t notice the color thing, not at all,” says mom Kylee. “They don’t see what everyone else sees.”

- RIP: Jim Marshall, at 88


Jim Marshall, whose pioneering Marshall amplifiers were behind some of the biggest names in rock and roll — Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend of The Who, and Eric Clapton — and who is considered “the founder of loud” and responsible for the sound of rock, has died.

From Marshall Amplification: “Your memory; the music and joy your amps have brought to countless millions for the past five decades; and that world-famous, omnipresent script logo that proudly bears your name will always live on.”

PSA of the Day

Posted: 05 Apr 2012 10:57 AM PDT


“It’s easy to dehumanize hate speech online because we’ve gotten so used to seeing it,” says writer/director Charlotte Moore. “We tell ourselves that it’s the product of trolls, of random, anonymous strangers. Except they’re not. They’re real people. Many of them will be parents. And some of their children will be gay.”

Her new PSA brings to life the worst of the tweets with Twitter hashtag #tomyunbornchild, which was trending worldwide in March. The hashtag — unintentionally — encouraged many users to spout hate toward LGBT children.

- At-Home Fecal Transplant of the Day


A 66-year-old Canadian man with an intestinal bacterial infection took fecal matter into his own hands when his local hospital denied him a fecal transplant procedure. Borrowing feces from a cousin after they were analyzed and deemed worthy, the man mixed them with water and gave himself an enema.

“I’m feeling good, but my fingers are crossed and I’m hoping and praying it doesn’t come back,” he said.
