Chocolate, baking, lipstick, photo ops … you know what that means. Girls’ night!

MOSCOW — MOSCOW (AP) — Russia on Thursday evacuated all of its diplomats and their families from Libya, the day after a mob attack on the Russian Embassy, and issued a warning to its citizens against visiting the country.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said none of the embassy staff was hurt in Wednesday’s attack, which came in response to the death of a Libyan air force officer, who was allegedly killed by a Russian woman.
The ancient Egyptians would have been smitten for the geometric-shaped design Mexico-based architect Juan Carlos Ramos created for an architectural competition: the pyramid house.
But his renderings depict an updated version with a sleek glass and concrete exterior. It also has a modern open floor plan spread out on three levels and connected by a floating staircase. There’s even a futuristic carport. The only thing missing is a sphynx. Check out the photos below.

He reported the incident in compliance with House security procedures. Congressman Duffy has requested no further action be taken and there will be no further comment on the matter at this time.”

WASHINGTON — WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden is canceling a speech to an influential gay rights group and an appearance at a Democratic fundraiser because of the government shutdown.
Biden was scheduled to deliver the keynote address Saturday to about 3,400 people at the annual dinner of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s biggest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights group. He was also to attend a fundraiser Monday for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which raises money for Democratic House candidates.
Out of 24 recipients, 11 women won this year’s MacArthur genius grant–a no-strings-attached stipend of $625,000 over five years, up from its previous sum of $500,000. The recipients range from an atomic physicist to an immigration lawyer to a photographer, women working with passion on unique projects around the country. Here’s who they are, what they’re doing, and why you should pay attention.
In the first episode of ABC’s new sitcom Super Fun Night, lawyer Kimmie Boubier (Rebel Wilson), pronounced BOOB-ier, gets a promotion and decides to celebrate with her two best friends in an unusual way. Instead of convening at Kimmie’s house and spending the evening indoors as they have every Friday night for years, the three socially awkward women decide to hit up a nightclub. The excursion does not go well: The bouncer refuses to let the not-cool-enough trio in, and Kimmie’s very tight bandage dress rips open to reveal her heart-emblazoned underwear and bra set to Richard (Kevin Bishop), the kindly colleague on whom she has a crush. Yet despite this fiasco, the indefatigable Kimmie resolves to try again: Every Friday from then on, she declares, she and her friends will force themselves to go out and have a super fun night.
I provide this synopsis because the above episode is not the one you will see tonight, when the series premieres. Last week, ABC decided to swap the airdates of the pilot and the second episode, hoping that the latter would make a better first impression on viewers than the former. (The second episode has the virtue of being less cruel–Kimmie getting over her stage fright and singing karaoke vs. Kimmie being deemed too unattractive to enter a club–but the first has the virtue of explaining what the show is about.) It’s the sort of last-minute vote of no confidence that exposes the dysfunction of the fall TV season, when shows get rushed to air whether they’re ready for it or not. Super Fun Night has the distinct feel of being taken out of the network oven only half-baked. Wafting off of it is the very faint smell of a surreptitiously radical sitcom, one of the first to treat lady fat like man fat–that is to say, as funny, not as an affront–but it’s way underdone, a gloppy mish-mash of incomplete characterizations, uplifting messages, and fat jokes.
Yes, we know it seems like every day there is a new gay engagement or cute wedding video storming the Internet.
And maybe you’ve started to think you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all, but this video of Devon and Jordan’s wedding is well worth the viewing.
The video opens with some emotional wedding vows that will definitely have you reaching for the tissue box.
