Glass Pocket Flask

This glass “pocket flask” would be great to put in your pocket and fill with liquor, if it wouldn’t result in your secret liquor running through the wounds in your leg caused when the glass breaks.

Deus e Oxalá se unem contra a intolerância religiosa

by Carlos Ruas

somosreligiaoDeus e Oxalá se juntaram nessa quarta-feira contra a sentença da justiça Federal no Rio de Janeiro que considera que os “cultos afro-brasileiros não constituem religião”.

O juiz responsável entendeu que, para uma crença ser considerada religião, é preciso seguir um texto base – como a Bíblia Sagrada, Torá, ou o Alcorão, por exemplo – e ter uma estrutura hierárquica, além de um deus a ser venerado.

Entrevistados pelo jornal, os Deuses fizeram suas declarações em repúdio à sentença.

somosreligiao3

A definição aconteceu em resposta a uma ação do Ministério Público Federal (MPF) que pedia a retirada de vídeos de cultos evangélicos que foram considerados intolerantes e discriminatórios contra as práticas religiosas de matriz africana do YouTube.

A ação do MPF visava a retirada dos vídeos por considerar que o material continha apologia, incitação, disseminação de discursos de ódio, preconceito, intolerância e discriminação contra os praticantes de umbanda, candomblé e outras religiões afro-brasileiras. “Para se ter uma ideia dos conteúdos, em um dos vídeos, um pastor diz aos presentes que eles podem fechar os terreiros de macumba do bairro”, disse o procurador regional dos Direitos do Cidadão, Jaime Mitropoulos.

Com o crescimento da campanha #somostodosreligiões outros Deuses demonstraram apoio ao movimento:

Trace Mineral Drops

by drew

trace-minerals

Alt-medicine nutballs love “trace minerals”, because they claim that we’re missing them due to the way our water and food are treated. It’s a “return to nature” argument, which falls short here, because Trace Mineral Drops contain a concentration of arsenic 200 times higher than the highest exposure recommendation given by the World Health Organization. 

Since the FDA does not regulate supplements in the same manner that it regulates foods or drugs, products like this often go to market with harmful levels of toxic metals and other byproducts. The FDA does not act to inspect supplements until they are implicated in causing harm, which means that if you chug some moron-juice because a yoga person told you it was good for your energy, you might end up arsenic-addled before the FDA even knows it’s being sold.

For only $2,399.99 + shipping, you can own the official Frozen snow globe, from the movie. It even plays the goddamn Frozen song, in case spending four figures of your real money on a snowglobe didn’t make your life bad enough.

YouTube Pondering Acquisition of Video Game Livestreaming Company Twitch for $1 Billion

by John Gruber

Eric Johnson, writing for Recode:

Twitch is a fast-growing service that lets people — mostly men — watch livestreams of other people — mostly men — playing videogames.

And it is booming: When Twitch started up in June 2011, it claimed five million users a month. In 2012, it was up to 20 million. By the end of last year, that number had jumped to 45 million. Broadband service provider Sandvine says Twitch now accounts for 1.35 percent of Internet traffic during peak hours in North America. That’s more than HBO Go’s 1.24 percent.

My 10-year-old son loves watching videos of people playing video games. I thought this was odd at first, in a grumpy dad “These kids today…” way. Then last week, while watching my beloved New York Yankees for the umpteenth time this year, it hit me: there’s nothing different about watching video of one sort of game (video) than another (sports). I watch hundreds of hours of baseball every year.

Tricia Duryee, writing at GeekWire, calls Twitch “the ESPN of the video game industry”, which I think captures the potential opportunity here perfectly.

Amish Vampires In Space

“Jebediah has a secret  [...] that will send his people into space.” So begins the promotional copy of Amish Vampires In Space, and goes downhill from there. The intrepid can read some of it in the “Look Inside” link, though I don’t recommend it.

Finally, you can wear a great lunch food on your head with Hot Dog Hat, the $6.95 accessory of your dreams. If that’s not quite doing it for you, try Hamburger Hat or Pizza Hat, by the same manufacturer.

Você teria 10 minutos para conhecer o incrível Randi?

by Carlos Ruas


 
 
James Randi é um caçador de charlatões, percorre o mundo desmascarando pessoas que se aproveitam de mentes desesperadas e humildes. Seu pensamento cético, baseado em testes e evidências, lhe dá um blindagem com relação a acreditar em qualquer coisa, principalmente as pseudociências, métodos que dizem ter base científica quando na verdade seus testes mostram o oposto, nisso podemos incluir a lei da atração, poder da mente, cristais, energias, curas espirituais, astrologia, homeopatia, misticismo, etc, etc, etc. Suas habilidades como mágico lhe permitiram ter olhos de águia na arte de desmascarar qualquer um. Nos anos 70, ele lançou uma campanha “1 milhão para quem provar ter poderes paranormais” até hoje, ouve mais de 300 participantes e ninguém conseguiu faturar o prêmio. Hoje, Randi está bem idoso e um filme sobre a sua vida está por vir. Confira abaixo:
 
 

Entrevista que ele fez para a super interessante falando sobre os paranormais Brasileiros: Clique aqui.

Videos do Randi que eu recomendo pois merecem ser vistos, principalmente pela cara de bunda das pessoas.
