HUGE PUBES A PLUS: Apr 30, 2005

This is the worst infographic i have ever seen. Why are 70 barrels of oil x'ed out? what does 70 have to do with 120,000,000 or 83,000? The only redeeming factor is the "check engine" light on the meter.

And whoever made that infographic forgot about the $5.00 per gallon for gas we were paying in 2008 when Bush was president.

TapTheForwardAssist: Apr 9, 2007; Pretty Little Lyres

I hadn't realised until recently that the Victorian-Edwardian literary mentions of "pea soup" fog in London were less about actual weather conditions and more about the ungodly levels of smog in the coal-fired city. "Fog" isn't so romantic when it's carbon particulate and sulfur dioxide.

Things got particularly bad in the 1952 Great Smog.

At the time authorities reckoned 4,000 people died during and following the Great Smog, mostly children and the elderly. Modern estimates range up to 12,000 premature deaths. The public reaction was instrumental in new clean air legislation in London.

Without looking I'd hazard a guess that Deepwater Horizon might have had something to do with the slowdown in Gulf drilling and oh hey look at all that oil not being piped from Canada to refineries in the south to be shipped overseas that sure would lower the price of domestic gas

this is pretty cool:

quote:

The riots also offered a glimpse into how photographs can be used out of context:

�Sir: In last week�s article about the poll-tax riot in Trafalgar Square (�THE MOB�S BRIEF RULE�, 7 April) there is a large photograph labelled �A West End shopper argues with a protester�. The woman in the photograph is me, and I thought you might like to know the true story behind the picture.

I was on my way to the theatre, with my husband. As we walked down Regent Street at about 6.30pm, the windows were intact and there was a large, cheerful, noisy group of poll-tax protesters walking up from Piccadilly Circus. We saw ordinary uniformed police walking alongside, on the pavement, keeping a low profile. The atmosphere was changed dramatically in moments when a fast-walking, threatening group of riot-squad police appeared.

We walked on to the top of Haymarket, where the atmosphere was more tense and more protesters were streaming up Haymarket from the Trafalgar Square end. Suddenly a group of mounted police charged at full gallop into the rear of the group of protesters, scattering them, passers-by and us and creating panic. People screamed and some fell. Next to me and my husband another group of riot-squad appeared, in a most intimidating manner.

The next thing that happened is what horrified me most. Four of the riot-squad police grabbed a young girl of 18 or 19 for no reason and forced her in a brutal manner on to the crowd-control railings, with her throat across the top of the railings. Her young male companion was frantically trying to reach her and was being held back by one riot-squad policeman. In your photograph I was urging the boy to calm down or he might be arrested; he was telling me that the person being held down across the railings was his girlfriend.

My husband remonstrated with the riot-squad policeman holding the boy, and I shouted at the four riot-squad men to let the girl go as they were obviously hurting her. To my surprise, they did let her go � it was almost as if they did not know what they were doing.

The riot-squad policemen involved in this incident were not wearing any form of identification. Their epaulettes were unbuttoned and flapping loose; I lifted them on two men and neither had any numbers on. There was a sergeant with them, who was numbered and my husband asked why his men wore no identifying numbers. The sergeant replied that it did not matter as he knew who the men were. We are a middle-aged suburban couple who now feel more intimidated by the Metropolitan police than by a mob. If we feel so angry, how on earth did the young hot-heads at the rally feel?�

felch me daddy jr.: Oct 30, 2009

Meet Takiji Kobayashi:

Born in northern Japan in 1903, he is most famous for writing the proletarian novel Kanikousen, or Crab-Canning Boat, which depicts a revolution aboard a crab-canning boat with horrendous working conditions. The novel is noteworthy not just because of its political message, but also for being quite an interesting work of realist literature (for example, there are nothing resembling main characters, indeed all the workers on the boat remain unnamed throughout the story).

His proletarian novels and articles repeatedly drew the attention of the authorities, and after joining the then-illegal communist party in 1931, he stayed in hiding, still writing articles and columns for communist magazines. In February 1933 he was caught by the police, who stripped him naked and beat him with thick sticks, then left him in a hospital where he died, 29 years old. The police claimed he had died from a heart attack, and the hospital did not do an autopsy out of fear for repercussions. His death was considered a symbol of the end of the relatively free Taisho era and the start of the much stricter military rule.

Kobayashi's grave in Otaru, Hokkaido, where he grew up

However, while he died young, his legacy lives on. In 2008, Crab-Canning Boat became a surprising best-seller in Japan, and many young people saw parallels between the exploitation of workers on the crab-canning boats and the current situation in Japan, where part-time or freelancer positions are becoming more common, leading to reduced job security, as well as less wages and benefits. The novel will be re-released in English in 2013 together with one of his other novels, I would recommend picking it up if you haven't read it.

poopy pee pee: Feb 13, 2012; I'm a nice guy, hoping to have some fun on these forums, Lol

This logo, combining a raised red fist and the yellow snake from the Gadsden flag ("don't tread on me"), was created by some dude on 4chan's politics board. It's supposed to convey the idea of libertarians and anarchists working together to topple the state, although to me it's more effective at conveying the idea of "Holy poo poo there's a snake on my arm, get it off!" To date this is 4chan's greatest contribution to political discourse.

Unfortunately there is a bit of a difference because the guys in those newer pictures are theoretically civil police and the other guys are military.

A lot of those older pictures are of the 12th Street Riot in Detroit in 1967. My grandpa was a platoon sergeant there and to this day he says his greatest accomplishment in his 43 years of service was preventing his troops from hurting or killing anyone while they were there. If only more leaders had done that. Of course, if white people in Detroit weren't such bastards it wouldn't have come to this anyway.

Recognize this guy?

If anyone is interested in the Riot, why it happened and why Detroit is the way it is now (tl;dr it's racist white people) they really should read this book:

Yep. As Governor of Michigan he was Commander in Chief of the Michigan National Guard and thus he was the one who ordered the initial deployment of troops to Detroit. He didn't want to call Federal soldiers in because to do so he would have had to declare a state of insurrection and that would void most insurance claims after everything was over.
