Have you ever bought a brand new cars only to forget where you put it? How about 300 of them? Probably not – unless you’re Miami-Dade County, which was recently reunited with 298 vehicles it bought brand new between 2006 and 2007. The county “discovered” this fleet of no-mileage vehicles after reading about them in a Spanish-language newspaper there (see the source for more images). Most of the misplaced motorcade is made up of Toyota Prius hybrids whose warranties either expired with very few miles on the odo or will very soon.
A future where unmanned surveillance drones zip through the skies keeping tabs on civilians is no longer relegated to dystopic novels. The panopticon has arrived and privacy rights are in danger.
[…]
Drones — as small as hummingbirds and as large as the 116-foot wingspan Global Hawk — can hover for hours silently observing individuals with advanced surveillance tools like thermal sensors, cell-phone eavesdropping devices, Wi-Fi network hacking tools, and sophisticated video technology like the military’s Gorgon Stare, which can observe an entire city from multiple angles and track several targets at once.
For the most part, when these high-tech surveillance tools have been challenged in court, judicial rulings have largely erred on the side of law enforcement agencies over individual rights.
That whole silent hovering for hours while monitoring your internets is creepy, even aside from, you know, grossly violating privacy rights.
If I’d ask you, who is Joseph Kony, you wouldn’t know. You should. And that’s why I’m going to tell you about him.
Joseph Kony considers himself as a good Christian.
He abducts kids, makes little girls go in prostitution, makes little boys become kid soldiers and force them to do horrible things, things a kid isn’t supposed to do. Neither is an adult, no one is. He started the LRA, Lord’s Resistance Army. 20.000 kids have been kidnapped, this needs to stop. And that’s why we need to Make Kony Famous. Let the world know about the horrible things he does, and the thousands of children and parents suffering.So come together, at the April the 20th. That is the day, we will cover the night. People in all kind of cities, all over the world meet at sundown & cover the city with posters and stickers of Joseph Kony. To Make Kony Famous. If you want to help these kids and parents, cover the night at 4/20/2012.

Boxing releases more than sweat.
Try endorphins, all your anger, frustration, stress….
On Tuesday while I was beating the shit out of that 6 foot girl she asked me if I was “thinking of anyone?”.
It could be possible I was.

VEGANSKINNYBITCH LARABAR GIVEAWAY
Yes, everyone, finally my first giveaway. I have so many mini Larabars that is simply cruel and crazy for me to keep them all to myself.
My petition to get CLIF & Company to boycott palm oil has come to a halt at just shy of 300 signatures. I was really hoping, because I have such a large base of compassionate followers, that word of this would have spread pretty fast. BUT IF I HAVE TO GIVE YOU SNACKS TO SAVE THE WORLD, BY GOLLY I WILL GIVE YOU SNACKS.
The rules are simple: whoever gets the most REBLOGS out of this by the time it reaches 700 signatures will win 30 FREE MINI PB&J LARABARS.
Oh my god, you KNOW you want them so badly.
They contain/are:
- no gluten
- no soy
- raw
- kosher!
- non-GMO
- only 100 calories
- dates, peanuts, unsweetened cherries, and salt.
I say by the time we reach 700 signatures because I’m hoping that those who reblog will sign. Another contest/giveaway will take place when 700 signatures have been reached :)
Off you go!
Make sure to sign the petition, please. You already know how to be activists with your food choices. Let the people at Clif Bar know that you do too.
Good looking out, VSB!
