It’s probably a safe bet to say that this is another shooting that occurred in a “gun free zone.”

If You Like Intense Techno-Thrillers, You Need to Be Watching Mr. Robot

A hacker works on a laptop inside a security cage

Imagine a show that combines the anti-corporate craziness of Fight Club with the subversive hacker heroism of The Matrix. Add some great acting, and a fascinating conspiracy that’s unfolding in the hazy realm between our dystopian nightmares and hard reality. That’s Mr. Robot, which debuted last night on USA.

I didn’t think the first episode was particularly thrilling, except maybe for the part where they’re trying to keep the virus from reaching a server. (And I didn’t think it was particularly accurate.) The show is overtly political, wasn’t too hard to figure out that Evil Corp. was really Enron. Somebody from the MoveOn or Occupy Wall Street crowd must have written major parts of the script.

I really want to like this show, so I hope for better in the next episode…

Zombies, Run! is one of my favorite Android fitness apps. I’m only halfway through Season 2 because I’ve been injured and can’t run. Recently I’ve decided that I’m going to play “Zombies, Pedal Faster!” because I want to hear the rest of the story. I’m still trying to work out the kinks because sometimes it’s hard to hear the story while I’m bike riding.

Marijuana Prohibition Is Unscientific, Unconstitutional, and Unjust

The war on weed is a legal and moral outrage built on a mountain of lies.

It’s time for us to realize that marijuana is useful as a medical cure for some illnesses. Cigarettes are legal and they are only harmful. Alcohol is legal and has few benefits. Cannabis has been scientifically proven to have legitimate medical uses. #YeahThatCure
