60 year old historian Martin Bühler (who identified himself to the press, I do not identify activists without consent) appears to ‘photobomb’ a lot of media images of the G20 in Hamburg. In reality he is a long time observer documenting police brutality. In Hamburg he chose to cultivate the most non-activist ‘white bystander in a suit with a bike’ look he could manage and casually walked in front of police. As police slowed down or interrupted attacks and waited for the ‘bystander’ to get out of the way (being caught on camera trashing what look like bystanders is bad press after all), activists had time to regroup or retreat.

Using white privilege for good.

Japanese Sumo robots

[setheverman]

this is the funniest gif i’ve seen all week what the fuck is going on

[bunjywunjy]

the best part is this isn’t even HALF the relentless bullshit insanity that goes on in robot sumo wrestling, a sport where the contestants are all hyperfast robots with scoop attachments and preprogrammed moves. 

(this one wants to be a beyblade when it grows up)

the idea is to include as many unique moves as you can, to make your shrieking deathbot difficult to counter

or dodging. that works too.

also, some of the speed demons have… unorthodox attachments to fool other bot’s sensors

WIIINGS MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRR

robot sumo is also a sport where spectators may end up taking a small robot to the shins if they aren’t careful.

FLYYYYYYY

I hope you enjoyed our foray into madness!

Pink Poison, the Surprising New Trend That’s Saving Rhinos

Rhino experts discuss a bright approach to keeping poachers away.

1) Does not hurt rhinos

2) Discolours ivory (BRIGHT PINK) thus reducing saleability

3) Can be detected by airport scanners, even if ground up, thus increasing the chances you will be caught

4) Causes nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea if ingested by humans, thus driving away your customer base

Win. Win. Win. Win.

5) makes rhinos look adorable & fashionable

[shipwrecktrain]

This seems like an awesome idea to help curb some poaching.

Sophie Scholl’s last words: 

“How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause? Such a fine sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter, if through us thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?”

Quote from Traudl Junge, Hitler’s private secretary from 1942-45:

Of course, the terrible things I heard from the Nuremberg Trials, about the six million Jews and the people from other races who were killed, were facts that shocked me deeply. But I wasn’t able to see the connection with my own past. I was satisfied that I wasn’t personally to blame and that I hadn’t known about those things. I wasn’t aware of the extent. But one day I went past the memorial plaque which had been put up for Sophie Scholl in Franz Josef Strasse, and I saw that she was born the same year as me, and she was executed the same year I started working for Hitler. And at that moment I actually sensed that it was no excuse to be young, and that it would have been possible to find things out.

A Trump voter’s undocumented husband was just deported to Mexico

Roberto Beristain, father of American citizens, Indiana business owner and husband of a woman who voted for Donald Trump, was deported to Mexico late Tuesday night for being an undocumented immigrant.

Beristain — who has a Social Security card, work permit and driver’s license — was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in March during one of his voluntary yearly check-ins, which allowed him to stay in the United States. And on Tuesday, officials went a step further by expelling him from the country.

The traumatic developments have changed his wife’s tune. “I wish I didn’t vote at all,” Helen Beristain told the South Bend Tribune after her husband’s detention in March. Read more. (4/6/2017 2:21 PM)

There have been a ton of these sorts of stories, and almost every time, I end up seeing someone taking offense, because apparently we aren’t being sympathetic enough to the Trump voters impacted.

Here’s the deal. There are going to be a lot more of these sorts of stories. And whether they’re about health insurance or deportations, it’s genuinely hard to feel a lot of sympathy for people who wanted others treated badly but are surprised Trump meant them. I do feel for the guy and for his kids, I genuinely do, but this was a serious election, and it was always going to have serious consequences. His wife didn’t understand that, and wasn’t offended by what surely should have offended her, on the very first day that Trump announced his candidacy. She didn’t put him in office alone, but she did her part to help.

This wasn’t some sort of surprise, or a change in plans. It was obvious all along. Even if you don’t pay attention to politics, politics is still going to pay attention to you.

Indiana keeps coming up in like every single political story. It’s kind of strange. Isn’t shit happening in other places?
