In the first few months of 2012, the police department continued to stubbornly defend its stop-and-frisk practices despite the intensifying media and public criticism. ... The resources available to civilians are paltry in comparison to the power of the machine that surveils, controls, arrests, prosecutes and imprisons them.
The Thin Blue Lie – The New Inquiry
Can't quite believe the 'Occupy' protests were earlier this year, feels like they were much longer ago.

Me: Our backup service is like cloud hosting, you can access it wherever you are in the world through a computer -
Client: Wait, cloud hosting? You mean my backed up files will be on clouds?
Me: Well, that’s not what cloud hosting means. It just means you can do anything you normally do on a computer with any devices - like tablets, iPhones, laptops etc - connected through the internet on the remote server we put you on. So all the things you do on the cloud hosting server is done on the server and just sends back the result to you.
Client: But what if it’s a sunny day and there’s no clouds?! How do I access my files then?!
Me: You don��t need clouds, it’s just a way of describing it.
Client: How can you call it cloud hosting if it doesn’t use clouds? It should be called air hosting, since we breath air all the time!
Me: I’m not sure that makes much more sense.
Client: I’m positive it does.

This is the speech President Richard Nixon was prepared to give in case Apollo 11 did not safely return.
Luckily, it was never needed. RIP Neil Armstrong.

This weekend, activists in Uganda - a country where homosexuality is punishable by death - held their first Pride.
This is the epitome of courage. I have no other words.
