I was always an unusual girl. My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean. And if I said I didn’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying. I belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone. Who had nothing, who wanted everything, with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn’t even talk about it. I am fucking crazy. But I am free.
Lana Del Rey in “Ride”

Another war is always coming, Robert. They are never properly extinguished. What sparks wars? The will to power, the backbone of human nature. The threat of violence, the fear of violence, or actual violence, is the instrument of this dreadful will. You can see the will to power in bedrooms, kitchens, factories, unions, and in the borders of states. Listen to this and remember it. The nation state is merely human nature inflated to monstrous proportions. QED, nations are entities whose laws are written by violence. Thus it ever was, so ever shall it be. War, Robert, is one of humanity’s two eternal companions.

Gemini — Inventions made by the Zodiac Signs

I’m not sure if I should be proud or sad that my sign helps the world to become a more violent place. Isn’t it supposed to be Scorpio’s job, anyway? At least the other invention makes the world a more colourful (and beautiful) place to live in…

From  wnycradiolab:

Isao Hashimoto’s extraordinary musical map of every nuclear explosion since 1945.

To the extent there can BE such a thing as an audio infographic, this is it.

Woa.

This is so cool! And kinda cute, actually. All the dancing, colourful lights and the cute sounds…until you remembered it marked nuclear tests and was horrified when looked at the number of all the nuclear weapons in the world (circa 1998). Predictably, USA is the worst offender in terms of vertical proliferation, though it had destroyed some of its stockpiles in agreement with Russia.

Also, the research behind this project must be truly horrifying *shudders* I mean, looking up all the nuclear weapon states’ date and place of tests, every single one of them? Ew.
