Lisa Guido Is Not So Sure About Any Of It

O UGH, Pirate Booty makers! I’d like to keep your baked no-trans-fats line of snacks around, but no way am I buying any more of it until you’re clear about what’s in the product. A non-committal statement about seeking out nonGMO corn doesn’t say you are sourcing ONLY nonGMO corn. Which means you use GMO corn, and perhaps GMO canola oil.

So, forget it. My two year old cousin and anyone else who comes to my house aren’t getting near this stuff until you change it up and make a clear statement about GMOs. Please let me know what you decide to do.

My objection to GMOs is rooted in the way Monsanto has treated both farmers and seed. I guess the jury is out on long-term health and environmental effects of various GMO practices, but with a record like that, why would I trust them? We need to fund science in the public interest to hold corporate interests accountable.

I’m not above a camera trick, but I think this is what really happened @TaylorMacNYC 1900-1909 songs of the Jewish tenements, at JCC last night. The twenty-four hour version, a TRANSlation of popular music 1770-now, will be epic brilliance.

@TaylorMacNYC 1900-1909 songs of the Jewish tenements at JCC last night, an affirmation, a stretch

.@AmericanAirlines is not my 80 year old mom! Here’s the original poster, held by Oklahoma state senator Judy McIntyre, who knew she’d be pissing off *her* 80 year old mom.

but then…American Airlines is not her 80 year old mom! And has no right to act like they are. That’s giving 80 year old moms a bad name, but Mama McIntyre and my own mother have that in common so…whatever. Airlines are not arbiters of free speech. Harassing a passenger for wearing a tshirt that frankly complains about the assault on women’s healthcare in this country…well, dammit! http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/article/2012/05/22/american-airlines-rejects-female-passenger-because-political-pro-choice-t-shirt-i

“The coin in this programme is a deft act of civil disobedience, and a brilliantly inventive piece of low-budget popular propaganda. It’s a British penny with King Edward VII in elegant profile - but his image has been shockingly defaced, in what was then a criminal act. Stamped all over the King’s head, in crude capitals, are the words, “VOTES FOR WOMEN”. GO SUFFRAGISTS!

they have better zoom-in-able images on the site http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld/objects/iVUVhaKVREWjsHrr9IoOOA

They stayed like this for 30 seconds…
LAVA Handstand-a-thon challenge! I pledged $1/sec for this thrill - and LAVA raised + $500 for the kids community program…

brilliant, human cabinet - http://tmiyakawadesign.com/affordablehousing.html

the maker of this got arrested by the NYPD for doing an art installation of LED lights in the iconic  ” I <3 NY” plastic bags. “Mr. Miyakawa was charged with reckless endangerment and placing “a false bomb or hazardous substance,among other charges.” outrageous. American police departments going after artists and non-violent activists is such a craptastic practice - I shudder to think how this kind of incident gets logged in their justifications of anti-terror spending. bullllllllshit.

your descendants will be born with six legs if you use anything but Louisiana crawfish in this preparation. the way things are going with the petroleum industry, they probably will be anyway.

totes forgot to photoblog western Louisiana. maybe butter and sticky toddlers got in the way. it was a great trip.

I hope this works. #solarpartylights

Friday night @whitneymuseum: A high level NSA guy left his job when we started using his cold warrior tech on our own citizenry, and they sure tried to make trouble for him…and yeah, everything we do online will be in storage in Utah. Look up Bill Binney, Jacob Appelbaum, filmmaker Laura Poitras, TorProject.org and James Bamford’s piece in Wired.
