Huh?

The trail. How was this made? By what?

Another abandoned boardwalk through the dunes.

Preserving the dunes…sort of.

1) They actually added a proper handrail after

2) the original, tacked to the deck, fell apart and was carted off, presumably for firewood.

3) Another walk two years after they build it through an eroded portion of the dunes (to save the dunes, natch).

4) The same, 2-½ years later.

Sobering

disgruntledseagull:

For every 32 living people on Earth today, government killed one person in the 20th century

If that doesn’t make it clear to you that it’s the greatest source of danger to humanity I don’t know what will.

Serious typography

“Ugly Gerry” is a font created by gerrymandered congressional districts.

Brilliant.

As the summer tourist season starts in our beach town, many opportunities for people to see these in public spaces. Even if one in 100 starts to question, it’s well worth the effort.

What am I missing

In the midst of a discussion about internet censorship and Jesuits and New World Order I did this snapshot and thought “what am I missing?”
