If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world.

After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he’d prefer six months of hard labour to reading six lines aloud.

Ai Weiwei - Bang (2013)

“The three-legged stools hanging every which way in Weiwei’s Bang are from an era of craftsmanship that has since been eclipsed by the modern industrial age. Once made by hand from wood, the stools have stood the test of time and were handed down from one generation to the next. These stools were used by countless family members in domestic situations; they lasted for centuries and were not simply discarded due to shifts in fashion and cultural trends.

Bang criticizes modern throw-away culture, which has replaced artisans and craftsman with industry and factories. Hand carved wood has been replaced by disposable plastic and aluminum. Weiwei arranged the handmade stools in chaotic bursts and arcs as a metaphor for the industrial world that has spiraled out of control as industry and technology develop at incredible rates.”

Ai Weiwei is a brilliant artist and I have the deepest respect for his work, but all things aside, when I see this I can’t help but hear STOOL BOOM in my head.

thinksquad:

Residents in Tacoma, Wash. have been threatened with prosecution by the city for painting crosswalks on streets where cars have continually hit pedestrians.

The group responsible, “Citizens for a Safer Tacoma,” says they would rather go to jail than see another person hit by a vehicle. The group, composed of concerned citizens including 15 of whom were hit by cars themselves, were denied help after going to the city.

The city, which seemingly doesn’t have the time or money to install official crosswalks, which cost roughly $1,000 each, ironically has been able to send out road crews to immediately remove four of the citizen’s crosswalks, a removal process that costs roughly $1,000 per crosswalk.

The City said it would prosecute anyone who would make a crosswalk.

PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD.

Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles
and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on
driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the
rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!
If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in
about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with
enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is
boiling hot as well.

Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the
gutter, etc.

Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little
water. A small piece of foil.
Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!!

No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc.

Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed
of this.

Snopes confirms.

What, are these kids budding sociopaths or something?

I’ve dealt with these before. If you find one:

Do not touch it

Do not touch it

Do not let anyone else touch it

Clear the area around it. It will explode on its own in time.

Once it explodes, do not make contact with the liquid inside. If needed, flush it away with large amounts of water.

Do not try to detonate it. You’ll probably be disfigured.

I’ve seen what these can do. The acidic liquid inside can strip the paint off a car.

This needs to fucking stop. This is an absolute invasion of women, this is disgusting, and this Tumblr needs to go away.

We need to report both the Twitter and the Tumblr.

Creepshots is a website for men to take “sexy” pictures of unsuspecting women, and from their ‘About Us’ section it states: “

This is disgusting, and contributes to rape culture by perpetuating the idea that womens’ bodies are something to be consumed, taken without permission, and something that men feel “entitled” to.

The all wise, all powerful “God” as seen by rednecks…

I’d like to correct this:

“God, send us someone to cure AIDS, cancer, etc., etc.”

“I did, but you gave them a substandard education because they lived in an area with poor funding due to low property taxes. I did, but you let them die because they couldn’t afford healthcare. I did, but due to racism you stomped out their potential and didn’t give them the same opportunities. I did, but you make a college education too unaffordable while giving the big bankers passes. I did, but you saw a homeless youth before you saw a kid with potential. I did, but you kicked the downtrodden while they were already shoulder deep in sinking sand.”
