[robot salsa] Welcome to [robotsalsa] where you will find neither robots nor salsa. What you will see is an occasional pinch of dark humor, a dash of Sci-Fi random fandom, pictures of cats doing hilarious goshdarned things, and finally some World News with views that stray outside of the Left/Right paradigm because of course we know that idea is just an illusion.

Consume a larger spectrum of data with New Integral-Vision! Enjoy.

On Jan. 1, 1981 (when Democrat Jimmy Carter was President) the minimum wage went from $3.10 to $3.35. Nineteen days later, Republican Ronald Reagan became President and the minimum wage didn’t go up again until April 1, 1990.
The minimum wage went up twice under Daddy Bush & twice under President Clinton, but then we had another long-stall…from Sept. 1997 until July 2007, there was no raise.
If you look at the 30-year time period of 1981-2011, you see that 19 of those 30 years went by without an increase in pay for millions of Americans.
This has made the minimum wage no longer a “minimum wage”. And this problem is long overdue to be addressed.
We need a Living Wage in the USA.


Remember Ralph Nader? I do.  Fondly.

Badass show. Badass technique. Highly recommend both.

I’ve been using a mind palace since my teens and never thought it odd until I saw tumblr’s reaction to Sherlock’s use of the technique. A couple days ago I found myself building an extension in order to cram…

Fascinating!

I can’t imagine this type of creative resistance taking place over here. Sad how large the chasm has become between politics and people.

» As Above, So Below: Upcycling's Upshot: How Urban Mushroom Farmers Turned Scavenging into a Business
