For the past (x) months I haven’t posted on this blog. I felt I was spending too much time online, though not posting did very little to change that. However, I am out of school for the summer so I may update it. I’m deciding as to whether I want to continue using it as an index for knowledge, as I have in the past, or write more personal posts, as I’ve been doing with my other blog reekingofmortality.

abreakfromnormal: Bulgaria (Europe) is currently experiencing mass riots over electricity costs, economic issues and other matters. Some 300,000 people are rioting. In an unprecedented step, the Chief of Police said “Rioters. We are with you. We are here to protect people and property, but we are with you.” They then dropped their shields and stood. Some rioters approached police lines, to give the police FLOWERS. Why am I crying? Lol View Larger

thepeoplesrecord: The realities of the New Jim Crow: The incarceration rate for American-Americans is so high that young black men without a high school diploma are more likely to go to jail than to find a job, thereby causing the breakup of families and instilling further poverty upon them. The US has the highest incarceration rate in the world, locking up about 500 people for every 100,000 residents, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. (The US has 5% of the world’s population, but 25% of the world’s prisoners.) The incarceration rate for African-Americans is about 3,074 per 100,000 residents, which is more than six times as high as the national average. Black men in their 20s and early 30s without a high school diploma are particularly vulnerable: with an incarceration rate of 40 percent, they are more likely to end up behind bars than in the workforce, Pew Charitable Trusts reports. “Jails & prisons are designed to break human beings, to convert the population into specimens in a zoo - obedient to our keepers, but dangers to each other.” - Angela Davis  View Larger

lefloweroflife: “The theory of the blue colouring of Krishna goes to the fact that the Creator has given the maximum of blue to nature i.e. the sky, the oceans, the rivers and lakes. The deity who has the qualities of bravery, manliness, determination, the ability to deal with difficult situations, of stable mind and depth of character is represented as blue “

jtotheizzoe: The world’s largest known prime number, converted to RGB pixels. Dr. Curtis Cooper recently found a >17 million digit prime number, 2^57,885,161-1, setting a world record. These super-large primes are known as Mersenne primes, after the French mathematician who studied them centuries ago. The raw digits containing 0-9 were split to six-number chunks, and then converted into the RGB color scale by pbump on Flickr. Here it is much, much bigger. It’s almost a perfect representation of noise. View Larger
