Transparent solar panels are 50 times more productive than regular photovoltaics

Not only are they better than normal solar cells by 50 TIMES, they can also treat existing panes, making any window a solar panel. DAMN! This is a game changer…hope nobody tries to buy and bury it. ~jg

America Can Learn A Lot From Portugal’s Drug Policy | NORML Blog, Marijuana Law Reform

Hillary Clinton, citing ‘Trump Effect,’ says teachers are reporting more bullying in schools

All I can say, is that if the ‘Trump Effect’ becomes the newest form of ‘Affluenza’, we’re all in a shit-ton of trouble. And it COULD happen if Trump wins. Just saying. Whoever you vote for, #NotTrump

PewDiePie’s Twitter temporarily suspended after ISIS joke

Just have to say, censorship is never a good thing. Twitter is a big offender, rushing to overly politically correct account suspensions “to be safe” from offending anyone. They should err toward free speech, not rushed censorship.

The streaming music war is getting ugly

“You’re tellin me I switched to Tidal & Frank gotta go and drop an album exclusively for Apple Music?” one person tweeted. “I do not have time for you Frank Ocean.”

Exclusives SUCK. I get why the Apple Music people would want it, but WHY the FUCK would an artist want to do that to their fans? People want all their favorite music in One Place…One Service. One Monthly Bill. Besides, Music should be free and everywhere. Well, at least everywhere. I may want to give my music for free, but I wouldn’t expect everyone to want that…but I digress.

How many music services do YOU subscribe to?

Björk holds weirdly magical live motion capture press conference to tease new virtual reality album

Björk is one of those artists who continually amaze me, staying original, cutting edge and vital. The Music Industry has, in many ways lost its will to produce Artists creating actual Art, instead puking up the “music-type commercially viable byproducts” that so many “artists” are churning out. Björk FTW!

#PigTrial Inadvertently Puts Meat Industry On Trial

–> “Our federal agriculture’s own data shows that in 2015-the year Anita’s committed her so-called crime — 14,212 pigs were found dead at slaughterhouses. That means more than fourteen thousand pigs were loaded onto transport trucks alive, and died during the journey. Nobody was convicted of animal cruelty for any of these deaths.

That same year, a dog walker was sentenced to six months in prison and a lifetime ban on caring for animals for leaving six dogs inside her truck, where they died from overheating.”

I’d say i would miss my Hemi rumble, but I don’t see myself giving it up anytime soon. #mopar

Why It’s So Hard for Republicans to Pin Perjury Charges on Hillary Clinton | VICE | United States

‘”You have to show beyond a reasonable doubt that this person knew that what they were saying is false,” Paul Campos, a University of Colorado law professor, told VICE. “Then the bigger obstacle beyond that is you have to show the lie is material to the legal matter that is being investigated.” In other words, prosecutors have to not only demonstrate that someone intended to tell a lie, but also that the lie was pertinent to the matter at hand.’
