Crowd-funded stenographers denied access to Bradley Manning Court Martial

Crowd-funded stenographers denied access to Bradley Manning Court Martial:

Freedom of the Press Foundation recently launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise money for hiring a court stenographer to provide transcripts of the unclassified portions of the Bradley Manning court martial. The US refuses to release the official government transcripts. On Thursday, we learned that all three of our media partners â the Guardian, the Verge, and Forbes â were denied the media passes they requested in order to allow court stenographers to accompany their reporters into the media tent.

“some historians think that michelangelo was drawing god in a human brain. very few people knew what one looked like at the time; but michelangelo had dissected cadavers and would have known. it even has the hint of a brain stem. if true this would have been a great “fuck you” to the pope whom he was not friendly with but also would have meant god was in a human brain, or created by man.”

Interesting.

also michelangelo painted a baby angel flipping off the pope

the blond one, you see his right hand? that’s called the fig and it’s an old world european gesture for ‘fuck you” because apparently Pope Juluis II was a total raging asshole and everyone hated him

but nobody ever noticed this little fucker because the ceiling was so high

and then thirty years later they called michelangelo back to paint the wall behind the altar and he wasted no time in painting the gates of hell behind the pope’s chair

what a badass

It amuses me to this day how much Michelangelo hated his job

He was like the Renaissance Robert Pattinson

Why is the Gates foundation investing in GM giant Monsanto?:

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s investments in Monsanto and Cargill have come under heavy criticism. Is it time for the foundation to come clean on its visions for agriculture in developing countries?

I just love it:

He told me he has been interviewing potential campaign managers and other senior staffers in recent days and that he plans to raise $10 million [≈ Small hospital] by next January in hopes of discouraging other prospective candidates—such as Rep. Frank Pallone of the Jersey shore district and State Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver—from opposing him in the Democratic primary.

Dictionary of Numbers | xkcd:

A friend of mine, Glen Chiacchieri, has created a Chrome extension to help solve this problem: Dictionary of Numbers. It searches the text in your browser for quantities it understands and inserts contextual statements in brackets. It might turn the phrase “315 million people” into “315 million people [≈ the population of the United States]“.
