The Fox Is Black CursiveBuildings The Farsight Institute | Global Climate Change RV Study: 2008-2013 Farsight's Climate Project A Global Climate Change Remote-Viewing Study Multiple Realities, Timelines, and Events 2008-2013 Introduction: We at The Farsight Institute are currently engaged in a fascinating study using remote viewing to study climate and planetary change between the 1 June 2008 and 1 June 2013. The initial results appear dramatic, but our "Early Update" published February 2013 (see below) suggests something much more limited. Our web site visitors are reminded that this is research, not certitude. Remember what Albert Einstein once said, "If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?" Special Note #1: The Internet is a wild place, and we cannot stop some people from making false statements regarding our experiments. Special Note #2: Daz Smith is keeping track of news stories that suggest possible feedback for this project. Below is the original report.

Aza on Design Dear Internet, You’ve made some pretty cool things in the past. Nyan cat and Robot Unicorn Attack are rainbowy good. What The Fox Say and that Game of Thrones song are both sing-it-for-your-neighbors-from-your-shower catchy. Cards Against Humanity is a delightful exploration of boundaries via kinetic poetry.

It immediately reminded me of the “A Night Out with Kanye West” skit from Aziz Ansari, where he says: “We come inside this club, and he’s sitting there at this table with Jay-Z and all these models and stuff, and we did just not belong there. If you had a photo of that table you would have been like: who photoshopped those two dudes in there? That was a really good job!”. Anyway, if you think some guy photoshopping himself into pictures of Drake working out was pretty incredible, think again. Surreal self-portraits by a 14 year old
