asylum-art:

Joaquin Jara

Barcelona, 1977

Joaquin Jara is a multidisciplinary artist. All of his aspects, from interventions in natural and urban environments to painting, sculpture, and experimental movies, converge on a common objective.

The portrait is displayed as an object subject to internal and external forces, those of the environment, which generate constant changes. Therefore, it will be a representation of the subject processes. An instant inside a sequence of images in continuous transformation. An image saved, which does not illustrate identity, but testifies it. An image without a possible conclusion, as it resides on instability.

Holy Shit We Landed on a Fucking Comet Jesus Christ

A spacecraft landed on the surface of a comet for the first time ever today, the European Space Agency confirms. The 220-pound Philae lander successfully made its way to the surface of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, as part of the agency's 10 years in the making Rosetta mission.

“It is a frequently cited fact that English has two sets of words for farm animals and their corresponding meats. The living animals are expressed with words of Germanic origin—calf (German ‘Kalb’), swine (G. ‘Schwein’), and ox (G. ‘Ochse’)—because the servants who guarded them were the conquered Anglo-Saxons. The names of the meats are of Romance origin—veal (French ‘veau’), pork (F. ‘porc’) and beef (F. ‘boeuf’)—because those who enjoyed them were the conquering Norman masters.”

Ferguson Is Ready for Battle as Grand Jury Decision Looms

by greg@policymic.com (Gregory Krieg)

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon says more than 1,000 law enforcement officers will be ready to hit the streets of Ferguson when a grand jury decides whether it will indict Officer Darren Wilson for the Aug. 9 shooting death of unarmed black teen Michael Brown.

While Brown's parents spent Tuesday in New York City speaking to a United Nations committee about their son's death at the hands of a white cop, Nixon was at Missouri Highway Patrol headquarters telling the world that "violence will not be tolerated" in the aftermath of the prosecutor's announcement.

Police in Ferguson clashed with mostly peaceful demonstrators in the days and weeks after Brown was killed, barraging them with pepper spray, tear gas, beanbag bullets and flash grenades. Read More

Cosby's meme generator backfires with reminders of rape allegations

by Jenée Desmond-Harris

This was a very strange time for Bill Cosby to encourage people to combine their own words with his image.

I made the same face. #CosbyMeme pic.twitter.com/iyuh0okjoQ

— Sean Campbell (@Melanism) November 10, 2014

After all, there's more buzz now than ever before about the many sexual assault allegations that women have made against him over the years.

Comedian Hannibal Buress has even been incorporating a hard-hitting bit about bit the topic into his routines, telling audiences, "That shit is upsetting. If you didn't know about it, trust me, if you leave here and google 'Bill Cosby rape.' That shit has more results than 'Hannibal Buress.'"

Despite all this, the formerly beloved Cosby Show star unveiled a #CosbyMeme Generator on his website Monday. That's right. It lets users add text to photos of Cosby (and it didn't take long at all for people to circumvent the, "After generating your meme, it will be submitted for review" bit by simply taking screenshots of their creations and sharing them).

Go ahead. Meme me! http://t.co/uM3KSji8or #CosbyMeme pic.twitter.com/9PbpQqz33X

— Bill Cosby (@BillCosby) November 10, 2014

Things went downhill, fast, with statements related to the rape allegations eclipsing innocent ones about Jell-O or ugly sweaters.

A meme generator — particularly one based on photos of a comedian making goofy faces  — is a really clumsy tool for serious commentary about a sensitive topic. So it's no surprise that some responses were immediately criticized for blurring the line between antagonizing the accused and making light of sexual assault in general.

But the spirit of the reaction overall seemed to harness the "Meme me!" suggestion to send a clear message: if Cosby thought he could avoid scrutiny of his alleged conduct, the real joke was on him.

Here's some of what happened:

Obama: Treat broadband—including mobile—as a utility

by Jon Brodkin
Mattalyst

Of course the million-dollar question is whether Obama supporting something actually improves its chances.

Government IT we can't believe in.

President Obama today urged the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to reclassify broadband service as a utility and to impose rules that prevent Internet service providers from blocking and throttling traffic or prioritizing Web services in exchange for payment. Obama also said utility rules should apply both to home Internet service and mobile broadband.

In short, Obama is siding with consumer advocates who have lobbied for months in favor of reclassification while the telecommunications industry lobbied against it.

In a plan released today, Obama said, “The time has come for the FCC to recognize that broadband service is of the same importance [as the traditional telephone system] and must carry the same obligations as so many of the other vital services do. To do that, I believe the FCC should reclassify consumer broadband service under Title II of the Telecommunications Act—while at the same time forbearing from rate regulation and other provisions less relevant to broadband services. This is a basic acknowledgment of the services ISPs provide to American homes and businesses, and the straightforward obligations necessary to ensure the network works for everyone—not just one or two companies.”

Nurse: Hi, I'm Myrtle the Magnificent.
Me: Wait, what? Like a magician or something?
Nurse: That's right!
Me: And for your first trick... You're gonna make the scope disappear, aren't you?
Nurse: Exactly! But do you know where it's gonna disappear to?!
Me: Is it my butt?
Nurse: It's your butt!
Me: I don't like this trick.
Nurse: No one likes this trick.
