Scientists’ electrifying plans for a food revolution could spell an end to world hunger (PHOTOS)

Zapping microbes and CO2 to turn it into food? I’m dubious.
But assuming it works #forrealz and if you used non-carbon-based electricity to ZAP it, it would be CO2 NEGATIVE food to boot. But…what the fuck would it TASTE like? And would it actually be good for you? Asking for a few billion hungry friends.

With no more income from album sales, a 69-year-old rock legend has to go back on tour

I guess it’s good news if you’re a Steely Dan fan, but bad news if you’re Steely Dan. If concerts weren’t so fucking expensive, I’d be thrilled.
Music should be FREE. Art should be FREE. A society that imprisons art in chains of greed will fail, unless the creative muses can be freed from those tethers, unleashed to create at the will of the Universe, not the almighty greenback.

Trump’s Russian Laundromat

Watching our Country run this way makes me feel….well, dirty…and not in a good way. I’m not ashamed to be American. No, I’m ashamed that there are others among us…LOTS of them apparently, who think that THIS is what it means to be American. I’m also a little concerned that you might mistake me for one of them.
I’m not, and God help us for letting it get THIS bad. I suppose we all tacitly helped by not saying #WHATTHEFUCK sooner…right?
But you know what? I won’t apologize, because this is NOT my fault. I’m proud of my country, and what I believe it means to be an American. But I’m definitely not proud of some of my countrymen…our corrupt leaders and their un-American acts in the name of greed and power. I, and many other Americans disavow their actions. Fuck them. I don’t feel safer because of you.
You know…the trouble with representative government is that, to WORK, it MUST actually REPRESENT the views of the PEOPLE. It’s pretty obvious to most of us now that ours no longer does. Our government represents corporations and the elite class, and runs everything to their liking. We’re given choices enough to BELIEVE we can make a difference by our votes. Just enough choice to to make it LOOK and FEEL like a democracy.
Hopefully the world can look beyond the actions of this Whitehouse and Congress, and not judge America by it. We can change. Really we can. We will.
Hell, even most of the asshats who voted for this mess are getting worried now. Worried they made a BIG…possibly HUGE mistake.

Outer Banks: Power outage has been a jolt to businesses

Wow. Weeks without power during the height of summer tourist season. This could potentially be DEVASTATING to the local economy in the Outer Banks. Somebody is responsible for this “accident” and they are on the hook for millions and millions in lost revenue for the local businesses and residents. I hope they’re on the hook that is.
