Chicago’s predictive policing tool just failed a major test

“predictive policing tool” – the concept is pretty scary if you ask me. sounds like a new form of “profiling” which we all know is mostly racial and economically based…meaning it’s just another way for The Man to stick it to you. #JustSayNO

Horrifying sorority recruitment video will haunt your dreams

Maybe the days of Sororities and Fraternities are numbered?

This stupid, archaic, social convention is steeped in discrimination and exclusion. Not really what a progressive, future thinking, society should be teaching our future generations about equality in their quest for higher education. what do you think? ~jg

Flaming ‘blue whirl’ could help clean oil spills, researchers hope

Sure. Yeah. Burn it. Because that can’t possibly go wrong in any way.

I’m pretty sure the best answer is to move aggressively toward synthetic, carbon neutral, liquid fuels, so we can stop burning our way into deeper and deeper shit…but hey, let’s just light the fucker on fire and make a huge, flaming, CO2 puking tornado instead. Yay science!! Great job on the ‘research’. What the fuck are you people smoking ?

The robots of war: AI and the future of combat

This article made me think, because this shit is SO FUCKING Scary. That’s why. AI Warfare seems like a great idea…why should humans even be involved? A lot less of us get killed that way right?

You know…The act of making war is already so automatic and impersonal now, that it furthers the waging of more war. When you can no longer feel the pain…see the suffering that you have caused, you are far more likely to cause more suffering.

We are fast becoming the most inhumane nation on the planet, finding it more and more acceptable to use our weaponry to advance our agenda…whatever it might be at the time. #Oil

The only thing for sure is that, while the targets may change (look out if you are currently our “ally”…i use the term VERY loosely) the US agenda of War will continue as long as we avoid feeling the pain.

Tell Congress you’ve had enough.
Vote Independent. Vote PEACE.
