Gaming In Color, the documentary about the LGBT community and gaming, is now available for purchase. While the suggested price for the hour-long exploration of intersecting cultures is $15, those so inclined can pay as much or as little as they want,...

Columbus Day brings up bad childhood memories for Sandi Mason, an American Indian woman who recalls classmates calling her Pocahontas and squaw at her Minneapolis school. “It wasn’t a good day for us,” she said Friday at Minneapolis City Hall. “We got teased.” But future generations may have a different vision of the second Monday in October, following a City Council vote Friday to recognize Indigenous People’s Day on what is now Columbus Day. The city will still recognize Columbus Day for legal purposes, but the new holiday will be reflected on all official city communications — such as the city calendar and website.

“He told me he didn’t want to hear a word from me,” Myrick said. That’s when Myrick began to sing a gospel song called “Every Praise.” The kidnapper started cursing and repeatedly told Myrick to shut up, but he wouldn’t. He sang the song for about three hours until the kidnapper let him out of the car.

The Columbus Crew striker really, really, really, really likes pizza.

People get designs shaved into their hair all the time. Sports logos, faces, geometric designs, pieces of pizza.

WAIT. Pieces of pizza?!

That's Dominic Oduro of the Columbus Crew, and that's a piece of pizza on the side of his head. He really likes pizza.

Don't believe me? Check it out:

“Unless you’re making four Negronis at your place every night, a liter of vermouth is a waste. It oxidizes quickly, so it more or less expires in a few weeks. All the big companies realized this, and they started making half-bottles. They’re brilliant for home.”

dryriver (1010635) writes in with news that the Chinese government has had enough of the antics of doctor Sheldon Lee Cooper. "Chinese authorities have ordered video streaming websites in the country to stop showing four popular American TV shows, including The Big Bang Theory and The Good Wife, senior staff from two sites said Sunday. The move suggests government attention is intensifying on the online streaming industry, which is freer than state television and China's cinemas to show foreign productions and other content and has stretched the boundaries of what can be seen in the country. A spokeswoman for a leading online video site, Youku, said it had received notification on Saturday not to show sitcom The Big Bang Theory, political and legal drama The Good Wife, crime drama NCIS and legal drama The Practice."

Thanks for clearing this up DeMarcus.

The NFL offseason gives players time to reflect on the things puzzling them and better answer life's little questions. DeMarcus Ware is doing just this, while trying to work out why clouds float.

I'm no Bill Nye, but I'm pretty sure clouds float because they're made of water droplets suspended in the air. When these get too heavy to be suspended in gravity as an aerosol, they fall to the earth as rain! (Science is fun).

Don't be deceived folks: clouds aren't cotton.

Odaiba is one of those places where time mysteriously stops and one can feel outside from the daily run of the world. Something like pressing the “pause” button while playing a video game.

Everything is so artificial, like the island itself, that you feel encapsulated outside of the real world. Maybe it is because at Odaiba there is only room for fun: families going for a day trip, student groups going to malls and young people drinking and dancing all night long at clubs. Anyway, the world of responsibilities and obligations always stays out of Odaiba: the world of hard working, the world of studying at school or the world of invoices to be paid.

Yurikamome Line goes around the island like a toy train: without an operator inside, with a constant beat that is never altered whether it picks passengers at the stations or not.

Watching the sunset from Odaiba reminds me another important detail about Tokyo. It is a big city. Huge. It is a city that, wherever you locate, you are never able to completely look at it from the outside. A city that, when you try to surround it, it always surrounds you instead.

Tokyo is able to make feel things that I have never felt before and, in fact, I didn’t ever knew they exist. Among many possible descriptions, for me Tokyo is like a city that just came out from a child dream. A never-ending pristine place, where most of the people live anonymously inside their communities and where sometimes it is not easy to say where is the north and where is the south.

In short, Tokyo is a one of a kind city. A huge hive, where millions and millions of human lifes move around at a very fast pace and where every piece, from the first to the last one, (unexpectedly) perfectly fit each other.

This is my last post about Odaiba from now. It contains some pictures of the sunset. I hope you enjoy them ^^.

Plain-Clothes Cops Shoot Hoodie-Wearing Pizza Man Who Thought He Was Being Robbed 

20-year old Philippe Holland was delivering pizzas on Tuesday night in Philly when he was approached by plain-clothes cops. These cops weren’t wearing uniforms. Philippe thought he was being robbed, so he ran to his car and started driving. 

These cops decided to start shooting at Philippe as he was driving. They shot the car 10 times. Philipe was shot at least three times: in the neck, a leg and head. Doctors said that he could be permanently blind after the shot to his head damaged his eyesight. 

Philippe works two jobs, and now his life will be completely changed. The cops are justifying this shooting: 

Police spokesperson Lt. John Stanford noted that the officers may have violated the department’s use-of-force guidelines, which states that officers “shall not discharge their firearms at or from a moving vehicle unless deadly physical force is being used against the police officer or another person present, by means other than the moving vehicle.”

“That is our policy, ‘Don’t shoot at moving vehicles’ – it’s clearly laid out that way,” Stanford remarked. “But I wasn’t there, so I can’t say whether these officers were right or wrong, what their process of thinking was, whether they were in fear for their lives or not.”

I wasn’t there either, but I can tell you right now, THESE COPS WERE WRONG AND THEY MOST LIKELY JUST RUINED AN INNOCENT MAN’S LIFE. 

How will Philippe be able to continue working if he’s blind? He certainly won’t be able to deliver pizzas anymore.
