I like infographs, especially ones about weed. Enjoy some good old reading and possibly learning.

Lee Hsien Loong, the prime minister of Singapore, tops the list of selected leaders’ salaries with a salary of more than 40 times the city-state’s GDP per person.
Raila Odinga, Kenya’s prime minister, rejected the pay increase he was awarded by the country’s parliament last week. MPs had granted Mr Odinga a rise to nearly $430,000 a year and this boost would place Mr Odinga among the highest-paid political leaders in the world. It would be some 240 times greater than the country’s GDP per person (measured on a purchasing-power parity basis).
Manmohan Singh, the prime minister of India, reaffirms his reputation for saintliness by taking a modest sum from Indian taxpayers.

NOMEY. He’s a 21yr old punk ass hailing from Brooklyn, New York. He’s a pretty friendly guy, looks like a samurai, and tends to pop up with the most random interesting facts. Enjoy.
M.I.A, Born Free by ROMAIN-GAVRAS
Cinéma vérité style. 1969
Mostly considered an anti-drug film, it was made for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The film follows its protagonist, Donny B, a young black man who appears to be a heroin addict, as he makes his way through the cruel ghettos of New York City… Through the run time of 14 minutes, a blues-like tune plays over the footage and voice-overs, with vocals that come in and out during the film, narrating Donny B as he does wrong.
“Pékin est pour moi l’antithèse de Shanghai. Plus dure, plus authentique, elle est surtout devenue ces dernières années, le lieu de prédilection de l’Avant-garde chinoise. Depuis mon premier voyage en 2001, elle a bien changé!”
“Beijing is to me the antithesis of Shanghai. Tougher, more authentic, especially in recent years it became the place of choice for the Chinese Avant-garde. Since my first trip in 2001, it has changed a lot!”







Pékin Underground by Alain Le Baquer
I remember the first time I saw this book at Fnac and thought “wow those photographs really inspire me”, I didn’t buy the book back then. Then I moved to Antwerp and decided to search for the book here… It wasn’t in store but I ordered it and about 4 weeks later got the book and I was beyond happy to finally have a copy of it. The book is just beautiful black and white photography with some text about Beijing nowadays or well “Beijing Underground”. It talks about music, art, politics and a couple of more subjects. The book is entirely in french though so I am sorry for you non speaking french peoples.

Dearest Californians and fellow voters,
While I’m excited about the high speed train prop that looks like it’s gonna pass (right now anyway), and I’m thrilled for the chickens in prop 2 or whatever it is, and I’m sort of ambivalent about prop 8 (sorry dudes, I voted no on it but I can’t say I think “marriage” is anything that should be defined by governments, gay or otherwise), I have to say I am happy about president Hussein, who I did in fact vote for. It’s good to see people actually focus on real issues, like, uh, the economy, and, I don’t know, energy policy, instead of people focusing on the government telling certain groups of people what they can and can’t do, like who can marry who and telling a lady she can’t suck or scrape (or whatever they actually do) a fetus out of her vag.
