This little girl deserves all the applause!!!
It’s easy to say “fuck cultural identities, we’re all human” when your culture is not the one being exploited, marginalized and oppressed. It’s easy to say “fuck borders” when your country is the one who puts up the borders. And it is really fucking easy to say “we all bleed red” when it’s not bodies of your people riddled with bullets because Western capitalism has a price.

When I write general level books (or posts on this page), I generally avoid equations as most people are more comfortable with plain English.
But equations are beautiful. Within a few symbols, equations can capture deep mathematical truths or far reaching aspects of the physical universe. Here are 3 of my favorites.
The first equation is amazing: in a single simple expression it ties together three basic mathematical constructs: Pi, i (the square root of -1), and e (the base for natural logarithms).
The second are the Einstein Field Equations from General Relativity, which relate the curvature of space-time (left hand side of equation) to the distribution of energy-momentum in space-time.
The third is, well, one of those equations that makes your jaw drop. It is a formula for Pi that was discovered by the singular mathematical genius, Srinivasa Ramanujan.
Even if you don’t understand all the symbols, it is worth now and then seeing the language that we’ve found, at least so far, to be the most powerful in grasping the architecture of reality.

There’s a super storm heading our way as the petition to stop CISPA is nearing it’s end, with
25,000(11,785) signatures left. With the threat of internet censorship looming over, all fandoms are advised to sign the petition so they won’t have to.
This is a Savannah cat. It’s a cat that looks like a leopard with the temperament of a dog. I know, I know. All of your dreams just came true.
HOLY FUCK
I couldn’t find this on gao.gov. I wish they’d cite such HUGE claims.
Isolde Raftery, NBC News:
When Jonathan Frieman of San Rafael, Calif., was pulled over for driving alone in the carpool lane, he argued to the officer that, actually, he did have a passenger.
He waved his corporation papers at the officer, he told NBCBayArea.com, saying that corporations are people under California law.
See, the joke is that corporate personhood is ruining this country.
Actually, the real joke is in the next paragraph:
For 10 years, Frieman says he had been trying to get pulled over to get ticketed and to take his argument to court
TEN YEARS
