watts the buzz, tell me whatsa happenin’
New York Daily News
So as of yesterday,
marijuana’s legal and certain lightbulbs aren’t.
Go figure.
By now you know that Colorado voted to legalize and tax pot under Amendment 64, with the first $40 million in sales tax going to their public school system.
So here is all you need to know:
1. 21 and older.
2. You can purchase up to 1 lid if you live in state, but only ¼ if you live out.
3. Cash only.
4. No public consumption. Huff it inside somewhere.
And that’s about it.
Marijuana is gaining footholds everywhere.
Yesterday folks stood in the sleet to make their first legal purchase.

And this, also according to reddit, is the actual, historic first.
Special thanks to Colorado for putting the Denver stores on a helpful get-high map, like the “Denver Kush Club.” lol
So have fun and underwrite your school system, Colorado.
Just whatever you do...
don’t get caught with the wrong lightbulb.

time for Bratton’s watch
New York City was a dangerous place in the 1980‘s and early 1990‘s.
Squeegee men were everywhere.
ap
So were panhandlers.
The crime rate soared and people stayed indoors when they could.
The murder rate in New York City peaked in 1990 under Mayor David Dinkins, an historic high of 2,254 killings.
Last year we recorded 417 murders, the lowest since the NYPD started keeping track in 1963.
This year, we are on track for about 333.
Like it or not, Stop and Frisk took 8,000 weapons off the street in 2013, 800 of them illegal handguns.
Mayor Elect Bill de Blasio said he will “push for real reforms in stop-and-frisk... to immediately end the overuse and abuse of this tactic.”
Because statistical guidance violates civil right, I’m cool with old white guys being stopped as long as everything else is evenhanded, too.
In our SoBro neighborhood cultural respect is the name of the game, but let us not go back to the future.
Happy New Year.

you say you want a revolution
"well you know, we all wanna change the world.”
wiki
Plutocracy creeps over us like a frog in ever-warming water, and a protest adopts Guy Fawkes as their symbol.
Canadian government responds by making it illegal to wear a mask in public gathering.
Millions wore this icon-of-anarchy in 400 cities back in November as a sign of solidarity with the common man.

Ironically, these masks are made in third world sweatshops.

And how is this for more irony?

According to TIME in 2011 this corporate protest icon was the best selling item on Amazon.
Amazon grossed $61 billion in 2012.
And if that is not enough, the image is actually owned by TIMEWARNER, one of the largest media corporates in the world at $28 billion a year.
So each time a protest mask is purchased
both corporations collect a fee.

Dei Verbum is a term used by the Vatican
to express a belief in Biblical literalism.
“If it’s in the Bible, it must be true”
provides easy answers to complicated questions.
The Bible says same-sex relations and promiscuity
must be deplored and punished by death.
MSG
uh-oh!
