I just want to point out that none of these so-called Constitutional militias are out there helping the protestors fight the Man like they did with the Bundy clan. Originally shared by Marla Caldwell Pine Ridge (SD) Lakota Sioux are raising funds to send youth to join the water protectors with the Lakota Sioux (and all the 250+ tribes contributing people to the effort) at Standing Rock, ND. Pine Ridge Reservation has the highest poverty level in the US, so these folks really cannot self-fund. Please contribute if you can. PayPal address is onespirit@nativeprogress.org, and OneSpirit is a reputable non-profit that does good work on Pine Ridge. #NoDAPL http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/10/6/1578459/-A-Thousand-New-Water-Protectors-Headed-to-Standing-Rock

That's kind of cool.

That's kind of cool. I recently read a story about a female motorcycle rider in Iran. She was traveling the country and photographing the locations and people. Having a strict adherence to Islamic law, being a woman on a motorcycle is especially dangerous and uncomfortable, but she loves it and perseveres. The love of bikes perseveres: http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/16/travel/motorcycling-iran/ Originally shared by Al Jazeera English "In Western countries women are free. In Pakistan we also need to be."

So, for my birthday this year I received this Lyve Home Studio (2TB) thing.

So, for my birthday this year I received this Lyve Home Studio (2TB) thing. I am not, nor have I been, a huge fan of it, especially with all the "free" storage options out there, but it was a gift, so I put it to use. The desktop app is okay if ugly, but the Android app is incredibly horribly executed. I think I gave it a 1-star review. Annoyed that I can't select which folders on my phone to sync I went to the Help section of the app to see if such an action is even possible, but instead I'm taken straight to the link below. Gah! Yes, Seagate (who purchases Lyve) is sending current subscribers a 2TB HDD, but I was trying to find a way to 'hack' the existing device to continue using it as a network storage device after 2016. A cursory look over the internet doesn't show me if anyone's successfully hacked the Lyve Home Studio. Has anyone heard of such a thing? http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/007778en?language=en-gb

#Florida state song.

#Florida state song. I'm watching Alfred Hitchcock's classic Birds and after searching for the differences between ravens and crows I wondered to myself, Isn't Florida's state bird a mockingbird? Turns out I was right: http://dos.myflorida.com/florida-facts/florida-state-symbols/state-bird/ Florida's MyFlorida website happened to list all the Florida symbols and eventually I found my way down to state song. I probably haven't heard this song since elementary school (in Florida) when we originally learned all the state symbols. And apparently Florida has a a state anthem to go along with the state song: https://youtu.be/4mQWbHY8ubg https://youtu.be/uweoegT29Cs

Talk to #Trumpbot. You know you want to.

Talk to #Trumpbot. You know you want to. Originally shared by Rob Gordon I'm not posting this because it's about Trump - honest! I am interested in the technology though. Apparently, the developers took a bunch of stuff Trump really said then use AI to make a bot that would answer the way he would. Does anyone know if there's some app or technology that lets us make pots like this? I think it would be fun if you could just feed a bunch of text in and have the system analyze it and then make a persona of sorts. I heard a story about a woman who used the technology to make a bot out of a friend who was deceased. Does anyone know anything about this technology? https://www.donalddrumpfbot.com/

What an interesting perspective.

What an interesting perspective. I mean, we've all joked about Trump's Banana Republic dictator rhetoric and Trevor Noah of the Daily Show even likened him to an African warlord once a couple of times. But Trump as American foreign policy made domestic? It makes perfect sense. He is the culmination of decades worth of GOP anti-establishment talking points, after all. What is "Make America Great Again" but a call to revolution?

Okay, so #DonaldTrump is at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds today.

Okay, so #DonaldTrump is at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds today. For giggles I decided to come down and see if reality matched what they show on those nightly news shows. I just parked about a mile away, the closest parking I could find. I'm walking to the rally and so far everyone seems normal. Only one person in any sort of costume. Just spoke to an Australian man who said he's been to a few Trump rallies, even (last night?) in Colorado Springs. We'll see how it goes.

Crossovers, do you love them or hate them? Specifically, these multiuniverse crossovers.

Crossovers, do you love them or hate them? Specifically, these multiuniverse crossovers. Personally I'm torn. They slays sound neat at the beginning but more often than not the characters don't act in accordance with their nature and, more importantly, the stories never play out in a way that satisfies. What so you think? Can the clean cut proper crew of the USS Enterprise hope to cope with Xenomorphs in a way that doesn't kill the entire crew and turn the ship into a derelict? http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/1579369/star-trek-the-next-generation-and-aliens-are-about-to-cross-over-in-a-cool-way?_utm_source=1-2-2

Has anyone else noted how the media doesn't seem concerned with #DonaldTrump, Moron anymore but rather have grabbed on to, and not letting go of, DonaldTrump, Misogynist? I mean, he's running for president, for crying out loud and doing a far better job than he should be doing thanks to a prop entertainment media. And yes, advocating sexual assault is not something we want in a chief executive, but neither is someone with zero to little foreign policy experience knowledge, domestic policy experience knowledge, military knowledge, etc. As we get closer to election day we need to be hearing more about how Donald Trump knows and understands so little, not only that he has a deplorable character. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_58137b85e4b0390e69cfbbba

Want to read something terrifying? Oh good, I have you covered. Originally shared by John Hardy Democracy is now on the nose with the political right. This is a thing that happens when you keep losing. Two factions that are particularly antidemocratic: libertarians—because they will always be outnumbered—and fascists who like their leaders manly. In both cases, there's a general belief that the majority of voters cannot be trusted. https://newrepublic.com/article/138019/right-giving-democracy

I vaguely recall an update to Google's ToS wherein I was asked to opt-in to new ad tracking and I, let's say, politely declined. That's how Google gets us, though. Most of the world is carrying an Android phone and 100% of Android devices have a Gmail account attached to them. Google's become very good at restricting features or services such as Now, Maps features, search features and more, for those who choose not to give Mountain View more access to data. Go ahead, try turning off GPS and Android will tell you some features won't be available. Try turning off tracking and suddenly Google Now is useless. Heck, even the new Pixel requires you to use their new AI assistant - another tool to gather more information about you. Sometimes it makes you want to go back a decade to the good old days of Nokia and Blackberry devices that made phone calls, sent SMSes and occasionally responded to emails. Here's the ironic part: if a government agency wanted what people wil

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The #GOP spent decades telling their base that the government can't be trusted.

For my entire life they've been telling their base how liberals/Democrats/progressives are going to steal democracy away so #Republican voters can no longer have a voice in their own governments. And now their prophetic rhetoric is coming to fruition, just not under a #Democrat. The GOP is now faces with the very real possibility that their base has every intention of taking them seriously. Whether he intended to or not, Donald Trump is about to tear the Republican party apart using the same ideas the GOP has been sowing for multiple generations.  http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/donald-trump-rigged-elections-republicans-229846

That about sums up this election season. via Paul R​ Originally shared by Miss Melony Bill Clinton cheats on his wife. Impeach him. Trump proudly brags about sexual assault (and has cheated on his wives). Elect him. Hillary oversaw the department of state while 4 people died in an embassy attack. Put her in jail. 2 Republicans were in office while over 200 people died in embassy attacks. No problem. Immigrants don't pay taxes. Round them up and kick them out. Trump doesn't pay taxes. He's a business genius. Hillary's foundation only spent 87% of their donations helping people. She's a crook. Trumps foundation paid off his debts, bought sculptures of him, and made political donations to avoid investigations while using less than 5% of funds for charity (and he got shut down by NY State). So savvy... Put him in the white house. Trump made 4 billion dollars in 40 years, when an index fund started at the same time with the same "small loans" he received would

I'd like to know what exactly the wording was as the media tends to have a pro-"Israel-is-Perfect" slant. https://www.google.com/amp/www.ibtimes.com/palestine-wins-victory-against-israel-jerusalem-holy-site-declared-muslim-not-jewish-2431205%3famp=1

As you all know, our backyard cat had kittens on our backporch. We took them in and have found homes for most of them, but this little female Tortie that we named Pumpkin has unfortunately done something to injure her front paw.

For the people in the know, the Hulk will always be the most powerful hero in the Marvel Universe, cinematic or otherwise. Even if Marvel Entertainment​ made him weaker in the films than his character is in the books. It's a shame, really. Non-fans and fans alike should have had a chance to see the level of power the Hulk brings to the table. http://comicbook.com/marvel/2016/10/12/captain-marvel-is-the-strongest-hero-in-the-marvel-cinematic-uni/?_utm_source=1-2-2
