The work is that of Alison Jackson, whose pieces are a rumination on authenticity and truth in the internet and social era — which is to say, how much of what you see with your own eyes is really real? Even if you “see” something on the social web… can you take it as fact? Now look at Jackson’s work and answer that question again.

As for content-



Toronto mayor Rob Ford is at it again, he stormed out of his own press conference today without talking about the thing the conference was supposed to be about after he was asked a question he didn't like. He told city hall staffers to 'forget' about two references letters he wrote for some friends of his, one of whom is a convictedmurderer.

Breaking this down into syllogisms, we find out all sorts of interesting things:

1. The US affords the ACA through taxation
2. A country can afford something like ACA if and only if it "seiz[es] the assets of everyone else"
3. It follows (1,2) that taxation constitutes "seizing the assets of everyone else"
4. "Seizing the assets of everyone else" falls within the definition of communism
5. (4) A nation that has adopted a policy of "seizing the assets of everyone else" has adopted communism
6. (3,5) A nation that has adopted a policy of taxation has adopted communism
7. The United States and all of its major allies have adopted policies of taxation, expanding during the 20th century, and taxation has historically been commonplace
8. (6,7) The United States and all of its major allies have adopted communism, expanding it during the 20th century, and adoption of communism has historically been commonplace among all nations.

Hooray!

I'm trying to imagine an alternate history where the U.S. Civil War was averted by secessionist puppets on the White House lawn changing Lincoln's mind on slavery.

Funny that they depicted the sun as a dark red disc. Makes it resemble the Japanese flag. Is there a local artistic convention that demands it? Plus, that Mercedes seems to be an unusually old model given those rear lights.

In the sixties Indonesias president Achmed Sukarno visited Soviet. KGB thought they could use a honey trap to blackmail him so they secretively filmed him while he was having sex with Russian women. Then they showed it to him. The plan backfired when Sukarno asked for more copies so he could show it in theaters in Indonesia.

There's been a spate of incidents in the US where people have called emergency to get medical help for a relative who was behaving strangely, only to have the police show up and shoot the individual for lunging at them with a knife.

Thankfully, a home security camera in Dallas has finally captured a "knife lunge" so we can see what kind of crazed beasts these crime-stoppers have to deal with.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YlGQX2wg8I

The officer who shot in this case was fired after the video was released. The DA dropped their charges against the victim too. Other similar cases remain disputed.

World's first fully bionic man, made entirely of advanced human prostheses.

Apparently it has the personality of 'an annoying 13 year old boy from the Ukraine', so I can't see it doing the second part of your quote.

Edit: They missed out a fairly important prosthetic, but honestly that's definitely a good thing. :stonk:

(This is bugging me - can anyone remember the name of that short story in which man is revealed to consistent entirely of prosthetic body parts, which ends with them coming apart and leaving only a set of chattering teeth?)

Edit: v-- 'The Triumph of American Conservatism' is definitely a (very) short story, but sadly not the one I'm thinking of!

You're thinking of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Man That Was Used Up," a great speculative-fiction short story.
