NYC cop demolishes an innocent bike rider

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

During the critical mass bike ride on the night of July 25th in Times square, a rookie New York City Police officer named Patrick Pogan launched an innocent bike rider (Christopher Long) off of his bicycle and into the concrete sidewalk, then arrested the rider for “Attempted 3rd degree assault”. Luckily it was all caught on tape and the officer has been stripped of his badge pending the investigation of the incident.

The Smoking Gun has the “fantastical” police report that the officer fabricated of the events. I personally do not see what the NYC police has against the Critical Mass bike rides but this isnt the first time NYC police have assaulted the critical mass bike riders. Maybe it disrupts traffic? Hippies are easy to beat up? Not sure what the motivation is here…

Nas goes off on Fox News

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Hip hop badass Nas has a new track called Sly Fox. Nas has been quoted recently (responding to Jesse Jackson) in an interview with MTV:

“I think Jesse Jackson’s the biggest player hater. His time is up. All you old niggas’ time is up. We heard your voice, we saw your marching, we heard your sermons. We don’t want to hear that shit no more. It’s a new day. It’s a new voice. I’m here now. We don’t need Jesse; I’m here. I got this. We got Barack. We got David Banners and Young Jeezys. We the voice now. It’s no more Jesse. Sorry. Good bye. You ain’t helping nobody in the hood and that’s the bottom line. Goodbye, Jesse. Bye!”

I almost like it as much as the new KRS remix of criminal minded.

Can you Digg it?

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

google walk offSurprisingly, it seems like the Google and Digg merger is abruptly over. Inside sources say it was the “personality mismatch” and walked away from the table leaving Digg with no deal.

From Techcrunch:

“Two sources close to the companies suggested that some issue that came up during technical due diligence was to blame. One source said that the issue was more personality driven, and that Google decided after spending more time with Digg’s top team that there just wasn’t a fit.

Either way the deal appears to dead and can be added to the long list of failed Digg acquisition deals. And when a company is “left at the altar” other buyers are usually hesitant to step in.”

Accusations of censoring and questionable behavior have plagued Digg.com as of late.

Humanity has reached its pinnacle with this new invention

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

holy moses! From Cmagers:

We can now cease all efforts in advancing any further technologically as a species. With the introduction of Bacon Salt, all of man’s remaining needs have been provided in life. Some of the testimonial quotes are absolutely hilarious:

“Thank you for organizing the party in my mouth.” – Mark

“Bacon Salt bitch-slaps the flavor of bacon into anything and everything it touches.” – PC Gamer

“When you put Bacon Salt on mashed potatoes, they try to eat themselves.” – Aaron Tucker

I have yet to order any. I will definitely get my hands on some in the near future.

Meet your meat

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Meet your meat is the movie that the meat industry does NOT want you to see. I watched this a few years back and it spurred my initial shift to vegetarianism. I wanted to post the movie again just in case anyone has not seen this film.

Life on “Old MacDonald’s Farm” isn’t what it used to be. The green pastures and idyllic barnyard scenes portrayed in children’s books have been replaced by windowless sheds, tiny crates, wire cages, and other confinement systems integral to what is now known as “factory farming.”

Today the majority of farmed animals are:

confined to the point that they can barely move,
 denied veterinary care,
 mutilated without painkillers,
 and finally slaughtered — often while fully conscious.
