Kind of a light post, but I just had to share this with y'all - to avoid twitter's spam filters, an ebook vendor/spam bot randomly spits out excerpts from the books it's selling, which makes for some of the most surreal shit I have ever seen come out of something that wasn't timecube or madpride. Enjoy.

quote [ on a university campus in Japan. Carrion crows and humans line up patiently, waiting for the traffic to halt.
When the lights change, the birds hop in front of the cars and place walnuts, which they picked from the adjoining trees, on the road. After the lights turn green again, the birds fly away and vehicles drive over the nuts, cracking them open. Finally, when it’s time to cross again, the crows join the pedestrians and pick up their meal. ] Interesting.

quote [ Karen Handel, the charity's vice president for public policy, told Komen officials that she supported the move to cut off funding for Planned Parenthood. She said the discussion started before she arrived at the organization and was approved at the highest levels of the charity. ]
Normally I'd stop watching the PR car crash that was this last week involving Komen/Planned Parenthood, but this is the woman heavily mentioned in this post.

SE, I need your support! I've worked on this short for over 8 months, have 5 more days of fundraising left and need your help! Your contributions would be tax deductible, and the rewards are awesome. Can't post the film publicly, but PM me and I'll share the protected link so you can see what you're supporting!

quote [ Steve Appleton, chairman and CEO of flash memory manufacturer Micron, died Friday in a small plane crash at Boise Airport in Idaho. He was 51. ]
Not very many of us in Boise cared too much for this guy. He pretty much ran Micron into the ground and then pocketed billions from the process.
Plus it's my Grandma's birthday and she REALLY hated this guy. Happy B-Day Grandma. King Diamond in the extended. [sci&tech] [by skoob666] [+4 Good] [27 comments] |
