why the earthquake happened by cindy fucking jacobs

"“This island, Hokkaido, looks like the head of a dragon with the body being the rest of Japan. The people of Asia have worshipped the dragon for 5,000 years. If one looks at the place where the earthquake took place, it looks like the soft underbelly of most vulnerable part of the dragon. Let's pray that the deep idolatry and the worship of hundreds of idols under the guise of Shintoism, Buddhism, and allegiances to being “sons of the dragon” will be broken and thousands will turn to the Lord.”

What really happened to Corey and Trevor

So as many of my fellow TPB fans probably know, Corey and Trevor are noticably missing from the 7th season of TPB. I was always curious why, and it turns out that, according to Michael Jackson (trevor), the cast and crew of TPB was pretty much screwed over. Here's the rub from trevor

Bahrain Fires on Peaceful Protesters

"Bahrain's ruling family has defied mounting international criticism by ordering the army to turn on its people for the first time since pro-reform demonstrations erupted five days ago. As protesters attempted to converge on Pearl Roundabout, a landmark in the capital Manama that has become the principal rallying point of the uprising, soldiers stationed in a nearby skyscraper opened fire. Since they took to the streets, Bahrain's protesters have come to expect violence and even death at the hands of the kingdom's security forces. At least five people were killed before yesterday's protests. But this was on a different scale of magnitude.

As they drew near, they were met first with tear gas and then with bursts of live ammunition. Many fled the first salvoes, scrambling down empty streets as the shots rang out behind them. As they ran, terror and disbelief flashed across their faces. One man shouted: "They are killing our people! They are killing our people." Cowering behind a wall, a woman wept, her body shaking in fear.

But many refused to run, initially at least, determined to defy the violence being visited upon them. Some held their hands in the air and shouted "Peaceful! Peaceful!". The shooting resumed. One man crumpled to the ground, blood pouring from his leg; nearby a second was also felled. A scream went up: "live ammunition!" As security forces then began to fire anti-air craft guns over their heads and the air filled with tear gas, the protesters' will finally broke."

Bahrain's neighbors have pledged support for the Bahrain royal family and these actions, including Saudi Arabia. These states include most of America's allies in the region, and their (Sunni) leaders fear that a peaceful democratic uprising in (70% Shiite) Bahrain would lead to a Bahrain aligned with (Shiite) Iran.

City Livin'

There is a general inclination to think of cities as dirty pollution centers that contribute to environmental degradation and global warming. However, the most recent Freakonomics podcast with Edward Glaeser does a great job of explaining how cities are, in fact, the most green, nature-friendly type of human living environment. Per capita, the denser the city the less a person's carbon emission, due in part to less driving and smaller average home size. Further, the greater percentage of individuals living in dense urban areas, the less overall land that is required for development.

Glaeser goes on to discuss how the Federal government discourages city living (and thus green living) through home ownership subsidies, an extensive national highway system and a non-competitive public school system.

Glaeser's Book

the singularity is real!

"More than 60 years ago, George Orwell wrote his famous book, "1984,'' which portrayed an onerous society dominated by mind control and constant surveillance.

Until last week, I wasn't convinced his prophecy would come true in America, not even with wiretapping at home and the abuse of prisoners abroad.

Now I am convinced. A game maker has defaced a shrine of my youth, the board game Monopoly. The world as I know it has ended.

Hasbro announced recently that it has come out with a new version of Monopoly for the video-game generation. It's a game controlled by a computer.

Instead of throwing dice and moving your marker -- mine was always the battleship -- you now cover the marker with your hand and the computer tells you how far to move.

Instead of handling money and forgetting to give your friend the right change, you cover a decal to buy property. You insert a bank card into a slot to check your balance.

In the new "Monopoly Live,'' the computer enforces the rules. If you land on a property and don't buy it, the little infrared tower auctions it for you."
