The Handheld History Collection

Some Very Entertaining Plastic, Emulated at the Archive:

This collection of emulated handheld games, tabletop machines, and even board games stretch from the 1970s well into the 1990s. They are attempts to make portable, digital versions of the LCD, VFD and LED-based machines that sold, often cheaply, at toy stores and booths over the decades. [...]

This sort of Herculean effort to squeeze a major arcade machine into a handful of circuits and a beeping, booping shell of what it once was is an ongoing situation -- where once it was trying to make arcade machines work both on home consoles like the 2600 and Colecovision, so it was also the case of these plastic toy games. Work of this sort continues, as mobile games take charge and developers often work to bring huge immersive experiences to where a phone hits all the same notes.

D.C. lawmaker says recent snowfall caused by 'Rothschilds controlling the climate'

D.C. Council member Trayon White Sr.:

"Man, it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man. Y'all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation," he says. "And D.C. keep talking about, 'We a resilient city.' And that's a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man. Be careful." [...]

White did not return calls for comment. In a series of text messages, he confirmed the voice in the video is his but expressed surprise that his remarks might be construed as anti-Semitic. Asked to clarify what he meant, he wrote, "The video says what it says." [...]

Some conspiracy theorists also think the Rothschilds, acting in conjunction with the Rockefeller family, have technology to manipulate the weather -- for example, by causing freak storms that wreak havoc on people, farms and livestock.

In a video posted to YouTube this year titled "Kill Cities -- Designed by Rothschild and Rockefeller: Resilient Cities Are Human Death Zones," Internet commentator Deborah Tavares -- a Northern California resident who argues, among other things, that climate change and wireless electricity meters are tools in a plot of global domination -- calls the Resilient Cities program a "diabolical" effort to manipulate people. [...]

"We're being categorized as lunatics, but we know that the weather is massively and completely, artificially controlled."

Graphene Hair Dye

Graphene Hair Dye:

  • Graphene hair dyes can be applied by spraying, brushing, and then drying.
  • Graphene hair dyes do not contain organic solvents or toxic molecular ingredients.
  • Durability of graphene dyes has reached the performance of permanent hair dyes.
  • Graphene dyes render hair enhanced antistatic and thermal dissipation properties.
I think someone made them put in this part to show how "green" they are. Probably a requirement of one of their grants:
The waste from graphene-coated hair can be recycled and repurposed for the creation of functional materials for other electronic or energy storage devices.

Graphene seems to be the nuclear fusion of materials science: it's always just ten years away from a total revolution of everything, this time for sure. It'll be easier to believe this is real when the kevlar-shitting spiders show up in products, or when nanotech makes dental cavities a thing of the past, this time for sure, or when I can charge my phone with a stinger tap.

Crucified Stormtrooper Removed from Church After Complaints

"Stormtrooper Crucifixion" by Ryan Callanan was removed from a crucifixion-themed charity auction in a central London church.

Parishioners complained to the rector, Reverend Jonathan Evans, about the subject matter of the sculpture, which intended to be the centerpiece of [the third annual] "Stations of the Cross" charity art auction [...]

Rev. Evans expressed disappointment in the removal of the statue, appearing to take a philosophical view on the work. "For me, 'Stormtrooper Crucifixion' raises similar questions to those which C.S. Lewis raised in his science fiction trilogy -- that, were other races to exist on other planets, would Christ be incarnated among those races in order to die for their salvation?"

The artist seemed not to reflect as directly on Christ as an inspiration for the work: "This is a crucified Stormtrooper and has nothing to do with religion," said Callanan. "It [was] not a method of capital punishment reserved for the Son of God.The piece being taken down is a sign of the times. The offended few out-voice the supportive / pleased many," he said. "I think churchgoers should be more vocal about the abuse that many children worldwide have had to go through, rather than a piece of science fiction cult art."

In case you were wondering what kind of art is considered appropriate at a crucifixion-themed art show in a church, here are some that were not removed:
