This is a blog that I'm using not only to show off a little bit of my developments of writing, but I also think that there's so much that people miss when filtering through the mass of media that is out there. I find the gems of all sorts of music, politics, animals, science, music videos, animation, and other awesome pop culture bits. Some are artifacts left over, some are part of my playlists / archive, and some are what's new or interesting or overlooked (but underappreciated).

Revealed: The 48 People Stuck in Guantanamo Forever | Alternet
Revealed: The 48 People Stuck in Guantanamo Forever | Alternet: "The release of the list (see below for all the names) is the first time the administration has publicly named these 48 detainees, though two of the Afghan detainees died in Guantanamo. The men designated for being held indefinitely include people from Yemen, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and more. They were deemed to be held indefinitely as a result of a task force process that classified detainees under separate categories, including the category of being held forever.

Everything Americans Think They Know About Drugs Is Wrong: A Scientist Explodes the Myths | Alternet
Everything Americans Think They Know About Drugs Is Wrong: A Scientist Explodes the Myths | Alternet: "Kristen Gynne: What are some of the false conclusions about drugs you are challenging?
Carl Hart: There are multiple false conclusions. There is a belief, for example, that crack cocaine is so addictive it only took one hit to get hooked, and that it is impossible to use heroin without becoming addicted. There was another belief that methamphetamine users are cognitively impaired. All of these are myths that have have been perpetuated primarily by law enforcement, and law enforcement deals with a limited, select group of people—people who are, in many cases, behaving badly. But to generalize that to all drug users is not only shortsighted and naive, it’s also irresponsible. The impact of that irresponsible behavior has been borne primarily by black communities. Nobody really cares about black communities, and that's why this irresponsible behavior has been allowed to continue."

Homophobic Comments From Jeff Flake’s Son Reflect GOP’s Isolation - The Daily Beast:
. On Wednesday, BuzzFeed’s John Stanton uncovered the Twitter feed of Senator Flake’s 15-year-old, Tanner, who used the social-networking service to threaten the “faggot” who stole his bike and broadcast his scores in an online game, where he went by the moniker of “n1ggerkiller.” His comments on YouTube contained similar language, calling Mexicans the “scum of the earth.”
Senator Flake has issued an apology on behalf of his son, saying: “I’m very disappointed in my teenage son’s words, and I sincerely apologize for the insensitivity. This language is unacceptable, anywhere. Needless to say, I’ve already spoken with him about this, he has apologized, and I apologize as well.”

Ultimates start at 3:00, most people never saw these because most players found them difficult to pull off (a long combo that ended with a fatality, which required perfect timing and positioning) -- DANGERS ARE SIMILAR to 'fatalities' but unlike fatalities After the announcer says "Danger", you might think that you are dead. BUT if your opponent takes too long to set up a Danger Move or hit you, you can break out of the Danger state for one last try at
killing them!
