publicradiointernational: British company Pavegen has developed a new paving tile that captures the energy of footsteps and turns it into electricity. On a small scale, one day’s worth of foot traffic over a few tiles could power one street light overnight. In another recent field test at a music festival, dancers stomping on a dance floor with Pavegen tiles generated enough energy to recharge their mobile phones. The company’s first big field test will come this summer at the London Olympics. Pavegen will be installing its system just outside the Westfield Stratford Shopping Center, one of Europe’s biggest and busiest urban shopping malls. The tiles will be placed on one of the main pedestrian thoroughfares leading into nearby London Olympic Park. Depending on the foot traffic, the company hopes its tiles might be able to power the mall’s entire lighting system. More. (Image: Pavegen)

yoisthisracist: Boots asked: Yo, how racist is this fucking Australian cartoon and the Rupert Murdoch paper that ran it? You know, every single day I get a bunch of racist assholes who write in with some kind of argument about how there’s no racism anymore and that I need to lighten up. So big ups to Rupert Murdoch for publishing this fucking insanely racist cartoon that stops just shy of openly lamenting that Australia wasn’t 100% successful in genociding their native population. PS: I wish there was some way you and your horrible son might actually go to jail.

I don’t care what your cause is.  If you hate a political figure so much that you’re prepared to rationalise unacceptable behaviour from others who also oppose that figure, you’ve lost perspective, the moral high ground and the argument.

Since then people have been doing some good digging around to find those responsible.
