why do they smile like that?
It's what's known in primate facial expression as a "fear grimace"
They are self conscious, and, under the spotlight of a camera, they immediately assume a submissive fear frimace to show they aren't a threat.
They think it's like a whacky smile but the open mouth exposed teeth is a submissive gesture.
Basically, it's showing fear in the face of alphas to show they are not a threat.
Congrats, you win the "so stupid it hurts" award. Very prestigious, tbh.

#1 | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/oct/11/negative-political-ads-republican-racismExpert says Donald Trumps effective reliance on personal attacks have caused racist and bigoted ads to become more prevalent
Negative campaign advertisements are as familiar in US elections as door-knocking and yard signs. But as the 2018 midterm election campaign pulls into its homestretch, Republican attacks in two congressional races happening 3,000 miles apart have triggered alarm bells for targeting non-white candidates in an apparent effort to highlight their otherness.
The first comes from Californias 50th district, where Ammar Campa-Najjar is running as a Democrat for a seat currently occupied by the Republican Duncan Hunter. NBCs Chuck Todd, a veteran political reporter and commentator called the spot maybe the most shocking and outrageous political ad Ive ever seen, in a Meet The Press Daily segment.
The ad zeroes in on Campa-Najjars heritage his mother is Mexican American and his father is Palestinian calling him a Palestinian, Mexican, millennial Democrat who is working to infiltrate Congress and a security risk.
At best its desperate. Thats putting it mildly, said Campa-Najjar, who also called the effort blatantly ignorant and unhinged from reality.
Last Wednesday a bipartisan group of dozens of national security veterans decried the spot as a racist and bigoted attack. The baseless allegation that he is somehow a security threat is an affront to our professionalism as national security experts, our American values, and our collective national dignity, the group said in an open letter.
The ad accuses Campa-Najjar of being supported by the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood with no evidence, and despite the fact that Campa-Najjar is a Christian. Its just so interesting that we live in a world where Islamophobia even extends to non-Muslims, Campa-Najjar told the Guardian.
On the other side of the country, attack ads on a black congressional candidates former career as a rapper have taken on racist undertones in a district that, like Californias 50th, is predominantly white. Antonio Delgado, a Harvard Law graduate and Rhodes Scholar is running as a Democrat for a seat in New Yorks 19th district currently held by Republican John Faso.
As a young man, Delgado released a socially conscious and political hip-hop album under the name AD the Voice in 2006.
Since the album came to light, a number of Republican groups have seized on it to paint Delgados flirtation with hip-hop as out of step with the values of the district. The Congressional Leadership Fund released an advert spot referring to Delgado as a New York City liberal and [Nancy] Pelosis candidate before clipping a handful of Delgados song lyrics, overlaying dramatically loud bleep sounds over words like fuck, sex and porno.
The ad also accused Delgado of lacing his raps with extremist attacks on American values, playing a clip where Delgado states, factually, that more civilian lives were lost during the Iraq war than the 9/11 attacks.
Faso didnt place the ads, but has not condemned them either, saying in a statement this summer that Mr Delgados lyrics paint an ugly and false picture of America.
The subtext of the ads was seemingly illuminated in a New York Times article from July when Gerald Benjamin, a friend of Fasos and director of the Benjamin Center at State University of New York at New Paltz, posed the question: Is a guy who makes a rap album the kind of guy who lives here in rural New York and reflects our lifestyle and values? i don't like attack ads and i certainly am not a fan of how they have proliferated in the wake of trump. --- |

The way this topic is phrased is exactly why this isn't actually happening. Black people aren't a fucking monolith that all think the same, nor are we a hivemind.
Well statistically speaking, there arent many black Republicans.
And its my personal observation that the Republican Party has been insensitive at best to problems that exist in the black community. Kanye is helping to create more dialogue between the two. Republicans who may have a poor perspective on how their party has treated black people may become more aware of how blacks have been affected by the party, because of this dialogue. republicans are well aware of how the party has affected black people. they just don't care. --- |

#1 | https://www.bbc.com/news/health-45801043Baby mice have been made with two mums and no dad, say researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
It took a substantial feat of genetic engineering to break the rules of reproduction.
The scientists said the "bimaternal" (two mammas) animals were healthy and went on to have pups of their own.
But there was bad news on the all-male front. Mice with double-dads were attempted, but died within days of being born.
Why even try?
The researchers were trying to answer fundamental questions about why we have sex.
Mammals, including us, can make babies only through sexual reproduction - aka you need an egg from mum and a sperm from dad.
But the rest of the natural world doesn't play by the same rules; some female fish, reptiles, amphibians and birds can go it alone.
Welcome to the bizarre world of virgin births known officially as parthenogenesis.
The aim of the Chinese researchers was to work out which rules of reproduction they needed to break to make baby mice from same-sex parents.
That in turn helps understand why the rules are so important.
"It's an interesting paper... they're trying to work out what you would have to do to turn us into turkeys," said Prof Robin Lovell-Badge at the Francis Crick Institute.
(Yes, your Christmas dinner can reproduce without having sex too.)
Go on then, how did they do it?
In short, with a lot of cutting-edge science.
It was easier with double mums. The researchers took an egg from one mouse and a special type of cell - a haploid embryonic stem cell - from another.
Both contained only half the required genetic instructions or DNA, but just bringing them together wasn't enough.
The researchers had to use a technology called gene editing to delete three sets of genetic instructions to make them compatible (more on that later).
The double-dad approach was slightly more complicated.
It took a sperm, a male haploid embryonic stem cell, an egg that had all of its own genetic information removed and the deletion of seven genes to make it all work.
So they broke the rules, what did they learn?
The reason we need to have sex is because our DNA - our genetic code - behaves differently depending on whether it comes from mum or dad, the study in Cell Stem Cell suggests.
And without a female copy and a male copy our whole development gets thrown out of whack.
It's called genomic imprinting with parts of the DNA in sperm and parts of the DNA in eggs getting different "stamps" that alter how they work.
Errors in genomic imprinting have been implicated in some diseases such as Angelman syndrome.
The bits of DNA carrying these stamps were the ones the researchers had to delete in order to make the baby mice viable.
Dr Wei Li, who conducted the experiments, said: "This research shows us what's possible.
"We saw that the defects in bimaternal mice can be eliminated and that bipaternal reproduction barriers in mammals can also be crossed." just what the world needs, more mice. --- |

#1 | https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/10/5/17940610/trump-hitler-history-historianhttps://www.nybooks.com/articles/2018/10/25/suffocation-of-democracy/If the US has someone whom historians will look back on as the gravedigger of American democracy, it is Mitch McConnell.
Usually, comparisons between Donald Trumps America and Nazi Germany come from cranks and internet trolls. But a new essay in the New York Review of Books pointing out troubling similarities between the 1930s and today is different: Its written by Christopher Browning, one of Americas most eminent and well-respected historians of the Holocaust. In it, he warns that democracy here is under serious threat, in the way that German democracy was prior to Hitlers rise and really could topple altogether.
Browning, a professor emeritus at the University of North Carolina, specializes in the origins and operation of Nazi genocide. His 1992 book Ordinary Men, a close examination of how an otherwise unremarkable German police battalion evolved into an instrument of mass slaughter, is widely seen as one of the defining works on how typical Germans became complicit in Nazi atrocities.
So when Browning makes comparisons between the rise of Hitler and our current historical period, this isnt some keyboard warrior spouting off. It is one of the most knowledgeable people on Nazism alive using his expertise to sound the alarm as to what he sees as an existential threat to American democracy.
Brownings essay covers many topics, ranging from Trumps America First foreign policy a phrase most closely associated with a group of prewar American Nazi sympathizers to the role of Fox News as a kind of privatized state propaganda office. But the most interesting part of his argument is the comparison between Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Paul von Hindenburg, the German leader who ultimately handed power over to Hitler. Heres how Browning summarizes the history:
Paul von Hindenburg, elected president of Germany in 1925, was endowed by the Weimar Constitution with various emergency powers to defend German democracy should it be in dire peril. Instead of defending it, Hindenburg became its gravedigger, using these powers first to destroy democratic norms and then to ally with the Nazis to replace parliamentary government with authoritarian rule. Hindenburg began using his emergency powers in 1930, appointing a sequence of chancellors who ruled by decree rather than through parliamentary majorities, which had become increasingly impossible to obtain as a result of the Great Depression and the hyperpolarization of German politics.
Because an ever-shrinking base of support for traditional conservatism made it impossible to carry out their authoritarian revision of the constitution, Hindenburg and the old right ultimately made their deal with Hitler and installed him as chancellor. Thinking that they could ultimately control Hitler while enjoying the benefits of his popular support, the conservatives were initially gratified by the fulfillment of their agenda: intensified rearmament, the outlawing of the Communist Party, the suspension first of freedom of speech, the press, and assembly and then of parliamentary government itself, a purge of the civil service, and the abolition of independent labor unions. Needless to say, the Nazis then proceeded far beyond the goals they shared with their conservative allies, who were powerless to hinder them in any significant way.
McConnell, in Brownings eyes, is doing something similar taking whatever actions he can to attain power, including breaking the system for judicial nominations (cough cough, Merrick Garland) and empowering a dangerous demagogue under the delusion that he can be fully controlled: gravedigger should be mitch's nickname from now on --- |

#1 | https://www.nbcnews.com/business/autos/trump-s-tariffs-have-already-cost-ford-1b-now-it-n917756Ford will be making cuts to its 70,000-strong white-collar workforce in a move it calls a "redesign" of its staff to be leaner, have fewer layers, and offer more decision-making power to employees, the company announced.
The number of jobs that will be axed is unknown at this point.
A lot of the (reorganization) is about making different choices about strategy, Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told NBC News, adding that the goal isnt just to slash spending but to improve the fitness of the company.
However, a recent report by Morgan Stanley estimates "a global headcount reduction of approximately 12 percent, or 24,000 of Ford's 202,000 workers worldwide. "Such a magnitude of reduction is not without precedent in the auto industry, analysts wrote in the investment note.
The decision is part of Ford's $25.5 billion reorganization plan, which includes slashing $6 billion in improved capital efficiencies. Ford CEO Jim Hackett, who cut more than 12,000 jobs as head of office furniture maker Steelcase, had been expected to make cutbacks even sooner, according to some observers. Hackett took over from Ford veteran Mark Fields when he was ousted from the company in May 2017.
Ford is lagging behind the competition, selling an anemic 32.8 vehicles per employee. Long-time rival GM puts out 52.7 vehicles per employee. But it's unclear exactly how improved efficiencies will impact potential job cuts.
Ford has already warned that President Donald Trump's auto tariffs have impacted the company to the tune of $1 billion, and the presidents trade policies threaten to play havoc with Fords ongoing reorganization, Shanks told NBC News.
Trump and Ford have been squaring off since well before the 2016 election, when then-presidential candidate originally threatened to impose hefty tariffs on vehicles Ford intended to start importing from a factory in Mexico. The carmaker eventually scrubbed that plan, but rather than return production to the U.S. it decided to move it to China.
Ironically, Ford actually may have to cut production of the Mustang and some other models in the process, potentially reducing U.S. jobs as a result of the tariffs China has enacted on American-made vehicles in a tit-for-tat trade war. The Mustang had been one of the most popular U.S. vehicles sold in that country. trump hates the working man. how are tariffs supposed be making america great again? --- |

#1 | https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/mutual-friend-ramirez-kavanaugh-anxious-come-forward-evidence-n915566In the days leading up to a public allegation that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh exposed himself to a college classmate, the judge and his team were communicating behind the scenes with friends to refute the claim, according to text messages obtained by NBC News.
Kerry Berchem, who was at Yale with both Kavanaugh and his accuser, Deborah Ramirez, has tried to get those messages to the FBI for its newly reopened investigation into the matter but says she has yet to be contacted by the bureau.
The texts between Berchem and Karen Yarasavage, both friends of Kavanaugh, suggest that the nominee was personally talking with former classmates about Ramirezs story in advance of the New Yorker article that made her allegation public. In one message, Yarasavage said Kavanaugh asked her to go on the record in his defense. Two other messages show communication between Kavanaugh's team and former classmates in advance of the story.
In now-public transcripts from an interview with Republican Judiciary Committee staff on September 25, two days after the Ramirez allegations were reported in the New Yorker, Kavanaugh claimed that it was Ramirez who was calling around to classmates trying to see if they remembered it, adding that it strikes me as, you know, what is going on here? When someone is calling around to try to refresh other people? Is that whats going on? Whats going on with that? That doesnt sound that doesnt sound good to me. It doesnt sound fair. It doesnt sound proper. It sounds like an orchestrated hit to take me out.
The texts also demonstrate that Kavanaugh and Ramirez were more socially connected than previously understood and that Ramirez was uncomfortable around Kavanaugh when they saw each other at a wedding 10 years after they graduated. Berchem's efforts also show that some potential witnesses have been unable to get important information to the FBI.
On Monday, a senior U.S. official confirmed that the White House has authorized the FBI to expand its initially limited investigation by interviewing anyone it deems necessary as long as the review is finished by the end of the week. The New York Times first reported the change in scope. uh oh. it's not looking good for kavanaugh. --- |

I must not look hard enough. https://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2018/09/hate_crime_charges_filed_in_brutal_beating_of_gay_man_from_nj.htmlAuthorities filed hate crime charges against a man accused of brutally attacking a gay couple - including a New Jersey resident - in an apparent random assault on a Brooklyn street over the weekend.
Brandon McNamara, 25, was arrested by the NYPD Wednesday on charges that also include assault and harassment, according to police.
McNamara allegedly hurled anti-gay slurs at the two men in the attack shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday in front of 540 Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg. The Queens resident punched one of the men, a 34-year-old, in the face, causing him to lose consciousness. --- |

#1 | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/article/Trump-anti-discrimination-official-apologizes-for-13273009.phpA senior Trump appointee at an agency responsible for enforcing laws against financial discrimination apologized on Monday for blog posts he wrote years ago questioning whether the n-word was racist and expressing skepticism about hate crimes, according to internal emails obtained by The Washington Post.
"Do I regret some of the things I wrote when I was 25 . . . Absolutely," Eric Blankenstein, a policy director at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, wrote to colleagues. "The tone and framing of my statements reflected poor judgment."
The apology was in sharp contrast to a defiant statement issued by Blankenstein in response to The Post story last Wednesday about his blog postings. "The insight to be gained about how I perform my job today - by reading snippets of 14-year-old blog posts that have nothing to do with consumer protection law - is exactly zero," he wrote.
Blankenstein's turnabout came just hours after a senior civil servant in the bureau, Chris D'Angelo, wrote a bureau-wide note saying that many employees under Blankenstein felt "chilled" and "threatened by the language used" in the posts, and Blankenstein's "affirmation of those posts in his public statement, and his failure to denounce those statements or acknowledge their hurtful nature."
"Hate speech cannot be tolerated. The suggestions that a racial slur is intended to do anything other than demean and oppress on the basis of race undermines constructive discourse and is inconsistent with the consumer protection and fair lending mandates of the Bureau," D'Angelo said in the email.
The controversy follows revelations of Blankenstein's views on race-based laws and other matters in a political blog he co-authored with two other anonymous contributors.
In a 2004 post, Blankenstein wrote that a proposal at the University of Virginia to impose harsher academic penalties for acts of intolerance was "racial idiocy." He questioned how authorities could know the motivation of someone using a racial slur.
"Fine . . . let's say they called him ------," he wrote, spelling out the slur. " . . . would that make them racists, or just a-------?"
Blankenstein wrote that "hate-crime hoaxes are about three times as prevalent as actual hate crimes."
Two Senate Democrats have called for Blankenstein's dismissal and Blankenstein has faced a rebellion among his subordinates. Last Friday, while Blankenstein and other political appointees remained silent, a senior civil servant, Patrice Ficklin, sent an email to agency staff harshly criticizing Blankenstein's blog posts and dozens of others responded with emails in support of Ficklin. he finds the best people. --- |
