Activate the Mechanism!: Bush Administration... →
abaldwin360:
Federal authorities are actively investigating dozens of American television stations for broadcasting items produced by the Bush administration and major corporations, and passing them off as normal news. Some of the fake news segments talked up success in the war in Iraq, or promoted the…

…do me a favor and just hit me upside the head with a frozen salmon. A whole one. Scales and all. I’m fairly positive that the combination brain-freeze/concussion will make my head hurt less than all these damn buildings overlapping each other in non-simple perspective.

leonsbuddydave:
The idea that technology built by our greatest minds can see only a PATHETIC distance into the void of space is more than disconcerting, it’s terrifying
think about how small you are relative to your own house

climateadaptation:
“Most cities, looking at shrinking budgets, cannot afford to subsidize or knock down ailing malls, and healthy retailers that are expanding — like H&M and Nordstrom Rack — generally will not open at depressed locations. So, as though they were upholstering polyester chairs from the 1960s with Martha Stewart fabric, urban planners and community activists are trying to...
