    Know what these are?  Go ahead, guess.

    Give up? They’re topographical maps of the moon, created in a collaboration between NASA and the US Geological Survey.  I can’t get over how crazy beautiful they are.  There are more here, super hi-res.

    11/19/2011 UC Davis Chencellor Katehi “Walk Of Shame” past student protesters (by wright3)

    “After hours of waiting for UC Davis Chencellor Katehi, she eventually emerges. This video does not do justice to student numbers. Hundreds of students were lined up, sitting peacefully, while Chancellor Katehi had to walk past them. Students showed her that she has nothing to fear from them, since the students are not the violent ones. If anyone should have been afraid, it’s the students, since she was responsible for the pepper spraying and hospitalization of students the day before.”

    18 veterans commit suicide every day, another 1,000 attempt suicide every month, and suicides among this generation's active-duty soldiers and vets frequently break their own monthly records.

    "Another Tibetan monk set himself alight in China"

    Could you even imagine? 

    It’s like the lightside of it’s darkside counterparts (like suicide bombers or kamikaze pilots…)

    Wow, Tibet.
