At least 1,000 government laptops and flash drives reported missing since 2015

There’s the government for ya…taking care of your data…as it’s floating around on those laptops. It’s ALL your data really. I mean, the government works FOR us right? I wonder who sold their work laptops knowing they’d probably never get caught. Did they wipe the drive first?

Oh wait…this is the UK Government. Nevermind then, Americans.

Native Amazon Tribes Say They Are Willing To Risk Their Lives To Stop Oil Pipeline On Their Land

Seems that oil pipelines are fucking with native populations all over the western hemi.
The other thing I can’t help notice is that our government, once the bastion of free speech, now deals with protests in the exact same way as third world banana republics: With militarized police in riot gear. That’s right. We’ve officially lowered our American Democracy to “their level”…where military strength is deemed necessary to prevent the voice of freedom from getting “too loud”.
God save the American Republic. May all the gods and goddesses have pity on us, we foolish mortals be. Do we learn nothing; anything at all from fucking history?

With a bucket and a dream, this artist creates truly one-of-a-kind sandcastles.

Forget the bucket and a dream…this guy has the patience of a fucking saint to build these amazing works of silica…All to be washed away the next high tide.
Wow. But impermanence is just not a motivator for me…if I’m going to take the time to create something, I’d like to think it would last. What if Van Gogh had set fire to every painting immediately after he finished it? What if Dali used his paintings to line the litter box before the paint fully had even fully dried?
Seems like a fucking waste…But hey…that’s just me.

Why a Trump administration is unlikely to kill legal marijuana

#News420 Will Trump and Co. try and kill the Marijuana boom? Let’s hope not.
Personally, I think good business sense will prevail, and the profit potential will far outweigh any “evil weed taboo” that the conservatives may try to use to kill the industry. Trump is, after all, a business man…or at least that seems to be the current status. Everything we know about Trump could change tomorrow.

16 years ago, a doctor published a study. It was completely made up, and it made us all sicker.

Once upon a time I was against vaccines. Yes, I admit it. I believed the propaganda. I bought into it. Until it mattered.
Not content to remain one of the suckers born each minute, I became informed. You see, once I had a kid of my own, I actually had to decide what to do for MY son.
Some things are too important to ignore research and trust to rumor and uninformed conjecture.
