Not So Awesome State Assembly
From TDW: "Democratic Wisconsin State Assembly members erupt in chants of “shame” after their Republican colleagues quickly moved to end debate on Gov. Scott Walker’s controversial budget bill, and voted to approve it within a matter of seconds. According to WTMJ, the vote happened so fast that several stunned Democrats didn’t get a chance to vote. The bill now moves on to the Senate, though it is unclear when it will be voted on as Senate Democrats have absconded to Illinois in order to prevent the measure from passing."
{TDW}
Frustrating news to say the least. As one youtuber commented "Tring to make them [Republicans] feel shame is like trying to describe color to a blind person."

Awesome Micromachina Sculptures
Awesome "What if we drove bugs around." micromachina sculptures from the mind of Scott Bain. Check out more of his work here.
MICROMACHINA examines what makes the insect world tick, and considers our attempts to control nature and the consequences. Humanity’s blatant disregard for nature, where profit comes before life, will ultimately be our undoing. Pesticides, herbicides, genetic modification and massive urban expansion push the fine balance of life toward disaster. There has to be a point, when mother nature will say ‘too far’, and rid the earth of its biggest pest... us.
Once the stuff of science fiction, today flying and crawling insects are used by the military, fitted with audio and video devices. This exhibition experiments using real taxidermy beetles as mechanised shells, to show how we mistreat our fellow inhabitants, forcing them to do our will.
When the planet’s soul is gone, all that’s left is cogs and pipes. You won’t see insects like these on the Discovery Channel.

Coming off the heels of Egypt's recent, heroic struggle for independence, a new father has named his daughter "Facebook" to commemorate the focal role social networks of that kind played in organizing the revolution.
