#NSA and 2006

Let’s be honest, though. That this faded away from our culture is a significant problem. We have a fickle memory. We forget a lot of things. That’s not necessarily a good thing, but the truth is, it’s back, people are fully aware of the scale of the program, and we can now do something about it as a culture.

This.

African-Americans are almost FOUR TIMES as likely as white people to be arrested for marijuana possession, even though drug use is the same.

I guess ‘random’ stop and search tactics aren’t that random.

So I’ve aged. The stars are still
too high and far too sweet.
I’ve bloodied my knuckles trying
to climb up to them, fractious reminders.

Turn them out. Keep them safe

Microsoft Xbox One: everything you need to know

As the Xbox 360 aged, rumors swirled around Microsoft’s next-generation console. Would we see an Xbox 720? An Xbox Infinity? A Nextbox? All those rumors turned out to be wrong: in Redmond today, Microsoft unveiled the Xbox One, set for release by the end of 2013. While the name was kept strictly under wraps, the Xbox One announcement confirmed many of the rumors we’d been hearing for months or even years. Those include live TV support, a new Kinect, upgraded specs, and a series of new next-generation games.

Exciting.

Thirteen years after an exchange of fire in Gaza appeared to have resulted in the death of a Palestinian boy at the start of the second intifada, an Israeli investigative panel has found “there are many indications” that Mohammed al-Dura and his father, Jamal, “were never hit by gunfire” – neither Israeli nor Palestinian – after all.
