TAIYAKI

I just got my taiyaki grill last week. SO EXCITE

You see this bitch? This is the fucking Audi A9 Concept vehicle.

It is the most beastly motherfucker to light up my Tumblr page.

The thing has engines in it’s wheels.

IN THE MOTHERFUCKING WHEELS.

See that futuristic design? Makes Acura designs look so 2010.

Oh? Where’s the windshield? It’s fully integrated into the roof using nano technology.

That means the bitch repairs itself.

Oh and that badass window and windshields?

It can change from solid like that to clear when you drive. 

White isn’t a very sporty color? NO WORRIES. This beast can change it’s motherfucking color to whatever you fucking want.

THIS BITCH SHOULD GET IN MY GARAGE.

GIVE IT TO ME

‘What will you leave behind’ – an art installation in the Ardel Gallery in Bangkok, 2013 by Nino Sarabutra who filled a gallery floor with more than 100,000 miniature porcelain skulls that visitors would walk on. Words from the artist: ‘I want people to ask themselves how they live, what are they doing - if today was your last on earth, what will you leave behind?’ Nino asked a range of people to help create the skulls – friends, family, neighbors, students, workers etc. While making them, they were asked to contemplate their life and think about what they will leave behind.

Maybe the Most Orwellian Text Message a Government’s Ever Sent | Vice

“Dear subscriber, you are registered as a participant in a mass disturbance.”

That’s a text message that thousands of Ukrainian protesters spontaneously received on their cell phones today, as a new law prohibiting public demonstrations went into effect. It was the regime’s police force, sending protesters the perfectly dystopian text message to accompany the newly minted, perfectly dystopian legislation. In fact, it’s downright Orwellian (and I hate that adjective, and only use it when absolutely necessary, I swear).

But that’s what this is: it’s technology employed to detect noncompliance, to hone in on dissent. The NY Times reports that the “Ukrainian government used telephone technology to pinpoint the locations of cell phones in use near clashes between riot police officers and protesters early on Tuesday.” Near. Using a cell phone near a clash lands you on the regime’s hit list. 

See, Kiev is tearing itself to shreds right now, but since we’re kind of burned out on protests, riots, and revolutions at the moment, it’s being treated below-the-fold news. Somehow, the fact that over a million people are marching, camping out, and battling with Ukraine’s increasingly authoritarian government is barely making a ripple behind such blockbuster news bits as bridge closures and polar vortexes. Yes, even though protesters are literally building catapaults and wearing medieval armor and manning flaming dump trucks.

Hopefully news of the nascent techno-security state will turn some heads—it’s right out of1984, or, more recently, Elysium: technology deployed to “detect” dissent. Again, this tech appears to be highly arbitrary; anyone near the protest is liable to be labeled a “participant,” as if targeting protesters directly and so broadly wasn’t bad enough in the first place.

It’s further reminder that authoritarian regimes are exploiting the very technology once celebrated as a vehicle for liberation; last year, in Turkey, you’ll recall, the state rounded up dissident Twitter users. Now, Ukraine is tracing the phone signal directly. Dictators have already proved plenty adept at pulling the plug on the internet altogether.

All of this puts lie to the lately-popular mythology that technology is inherently a liberating force—with the right hack, it can oppress just as easily.
