One-third of American girls start developing breasts by their 9th birthday. And this is earlier than even 15 or 20 years ago.

On today’s Fresh Air, science writer Florence Williams explains why breasts are getting bigger and arriving earlier, why tumors seem to gravitate towards the breast and how toxins from the environment may be affecting hormones and breast development. (via nprfreshair)

New 2012-13 NBC Comedies

ZOMG you guys, NBC is on tumblr. Don’t they know that tumblr totally hates them right now?

PS. If you’re reading this, NBC, CANCEL WHITNEY!

Nobody likes you over here, NBC. 

Also, I bet Save Me is going to be SUCH A HUGE HIT. OH YEAH TOTALLY. BECAUSE EVERYONE LOVES ANNE HECHE.

There is nothing on this list that is not hilarious in concept/nature. I’m glad these are all comedies. BTW, Bill Pullman is playing the president again! He should give ALL THE SPEECHES

These are all jokes, right? Because if these are real shows, then this was obviously the year I could have gotten my spec pilot “TALKING FART MACHINE: THE INCREDIBLE ADVENTURES OF A MACHINE THAT FARTS (AND ALSO TALKS! NOT BAD, RIGHT?)” picked up for a 15 episode order and I missed it.

Tell you what, I am gonna not watch the fuck out of some ANIMAL PRACTICE. I’mma strain myself, not watching that.

Matthew Perry in Goon, a prequel to Goonies.

Also Animal Practice to be cancelled and replaced with Manimal Practice mid-season. Guaranteed!

Keep it called ‘30 Rock,’ just switch the focus to any of these spectacular businesses operating in and around 30 Rockefeller Plz, like, say, ‘Tossed,’ a journey of two vegan 20-somethings, or perhaps, ‘Yummy Sushi,’ so fresh it’s raw. Related: NBC, hope you like tumblr pitchforks.

Have we all become so jaded that we don’t even mention NBC offering safe harbor to Dane Cook?

Kate Sheppard reports:

It’s been two years since the Deepwater Horizon disaster unleashed 4.9 million barrels of oil on the Gulf of Mexico. In the midst of the disaster, BP and its contractors did everything they could to keep people from seeing the scale of the disaster. But new photos released Monday offer some new insight to just how grim the Gulf became for sea life.

You can see the rest here. (Warning: soul-crushingly sad.)

Confirmed: Soul-crushing. —A.P.

My heart (,stomach,soul)!
