I'm in this issue of Be-ZINE



THE BeZINE for November is published - In the four-year history of "The BeZine," this is the most significant edition. All of our concerns - peace, environmental sustainability, human rights, freedom of expression - depend on a more equal distribution of wealth, on making sure no one goes hungry and on breaking-down barriers to employment, healthcare, education and racial and gender equity. - Jamie Dedes

My prose:
The Arctic
They are going to SHELL it
They are going to EXXON it and BP it
They bought the politicians
They bought the votes
They brought the catastrophe
They brought the end…

ALIEN-LIKE WORM SHOOTS GOOEY WEB


"The proboscis is an infolding of the body wall, and sits in the rhynchocoel when inactive. When muscles in the wall of the rhynchocoel compress the fluid in the rhynchocoel, the pressure makes the proboscis jump inside-out to attack the animal's prey along a canal called the rhynchodeum and through an orifice, the proboscis pore. The proboscis has a muscle which attaches to the back of the rhynchocoel, and which can stretch up to 30 times its inactive length and then retract the proboscis. Some Anopla have branched proboscises which can be described as "a mass of sticky spaghetti". The animal then draws its prey into its mouth... Although most are less than 20 centimetres (7.9 in) long, one specimen has been estimated at 54 metres (177 ft). SOURCE

smartphone zombies: think the herd

City officials in Salzburg, Austria, are covering lampposts with airbags because so many so-called ‘smartphone zombies’ are walking into them. The vote was close … a lot of officials thought a better approach would be to let the posts thin the herd.

I watched the Stephen King horror film CELL recently. Are you reading this on your smartphone?

How was your weekend? As eventful as the pig who stole and drank eighteen beers, and then tried to fight a cow? Mine wasn’t, but there’s always next weekend.

I laughed hard at this movie - it may be ONE of my TOP movies!

2004 . The Ladykillers . Tom Hanks as Professor G.H. Dorr . It's underrated that's for sure.

the anonymous project

Paris-based filmmaker Lee Shulman is on a mission to preserve old photographic negatives and slides from the 60s up to the digital age. Due to the nature of colour photography and the chemicals used on the film when it’s exposed to light, the images will fade away over a period of about 50 years.

With the help of book editor Emmanuelle Halkin, Shulman has salvaged roughly 400,000 Kodacrome-colour slides from flea markets and personal archives. That collection will be further whittled down to a curated selection to be scanned, catalogued and enjoyed for years to come.

Guinea Pig Speaks Out - Ricky Gervais

weekend

It's so cold I'm reading and watching squirrels all weekend!

I'm reading
Untold stories from Election Day 2016. Marvin Gaye and the patriotism of resistance. In Trump country, not much has changed—at least not for the betterThe year in push alerts, which I didn't really experience because the only notifications I get are from actual humans calling/texting me. It's not fake news, it's information disorder. Predators on film setshigh-school locker rooms, Capitol Hill (Anita Hill weighs in), and everywhere. Gay men need a whisper network, too. Harassment can be a career-killer. A fan finds out her fave is a creep, which "means admitting you were duped." Listening to Trump's accusers. How the rich hide their wealth. "For 11 brief minutes, they were God." You can run from "identity politics," but you cannot hide. Reblogging Audre LordeYazidi women, post-captivity. Google's mass-shooting misinformation problem. An app for alcoholism. An a capella hazing scandal. What childbirth really feels like. A dispatch from the front lines of California's rush toward legal weed. Can Ford turn itself into a tech company? Saeed Jones on clarity in the face of overwhelming information. A 13-year-old teen-girl baseball blogger posed as an adult dude. The Japanese rent-a-friend business. The appeal of dressing modestly. For a chill thrill, cancel your plans. Or maybe head to one of the quietest places on earth.

hmmmm

OK folks, are you really people or are you bots?

I checked FeedBurner and some of you are really good people using an outlook email address - some of you look rather suspicious.

HMMM...is there a bot going on?

Maybe you need to leave a comment on here. Tell me somethin' good...

BOOM
