A Time-Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945 |
| Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998, beginning with the Manhattan Project's Trinity test near Los Alamos and concluding with Pakistan's nuclear tests in May of 1998. This leaves out North Korea's two alleged nuclear tests in this past decade (the legitimacy of both of which is not 100% clear). Each nation gets a blip and a flashing dot on the map whenever they detonate a nuclear weapon, with a running tally kept on the top and bottom bars of the screen. Hashimoto, who began the project in 2003, says that he created it with the goal of showing (quote)the fear and folly of nuclear weapons.(end quote) It starts really slow ? if you want to see real action, skip ahead to 1962 or so ? but the buildup becomes overwhelming. |

Democracy truly for sale: Corporation Runs For Maryland Congressional Seat To Protest SCOTUS Campaign Finance Decision |
| Until now, corporations only influenced politics with high-paid lobbyists and backroom deals. But today, thanks to an enlightened supreme court, corporations now have all the rights the founding fathers meant for us. That\\\'s why Murray Hill Incorporated is taking democracy\\\'s next step-- running for Congress. From Think Progress:Corporation Runs For Maryland Congressional Seat To Protest SCOTUS Campaign Finance Decision: Last week, ?all five of the [Supreme] Court?s conservatives joined together?to invalidate a sixty-three year-old ban on corporate money in federal elections,? a move that Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) said ?opens the floodgates for the purchases and sale of the law? by big corporations. While progressives were outraged by the court?s judicial activism, many Republican politicians applauded the decision, with RNC Chairman Michael Steele even calling the ruling nothing more than ?an affirmation of the constitutional rights provided to Americans under the first amendment.? The progressive PR firm Murray Hill Inc. has announced that it plans to satirically run for Congress in the Republican primary in Maryland?s 8th congressional district to protest the Supreme Court?s disastrous decision. A press release on its website says that the company wants to ?eliminate the middle man? and run for Congress directly, rather than influencing it with corporate dollars: ?Until now,? Murray Hill Inc. said in a statement, ?corporate interests had to rely on campaign contributions and influence peddling to achieve their goals in Washington. But thanks to an enlightened Supreme Court, now we can eliminate the middle-man and run for office ourselves.? ?The strength of America,? Murray Hill Inc. says, ?is in the boardrooms, country clubs and Lear jets of America?s great corporations. We?re saying to Wal-Mart, AIG and Pfizer, if not you, who? If not now, when?? [...] Campaign Manager William Klein promises an aggressive, historic campaign that ?puts people second? or even third. ?The business of America is business, as we all know,? Klein says. ?But now, it?s the business of democracy too.? Klein plans to use automated robo-calls, ?Astroturf? lobbying and computer-generated avatars to get out the vote. Murray Hill Inc. plans on spending ?top dollar? to protect its investment. ?It?s our democracy,? Murray Hill Inc. says, ?We bought it, we paid for it, and we?re going to keep it.? Murray Hill Inc. released its first campaign video Monday. A narrator in the video explains, ?The way we see it, corporate America has been the driving force behind Congress for years. But now it?s time we got behind the wheel ourselves.? |
