As we pave over farmland and use it for other purposes, farmers today must produce more food with less land. The answer to the problem, according to a company called Valcent, is to build our croplands like skyscrapers: straight up. Valcent has pioneered a hydroponic farming system that grows plants in rotating rows, one on top of another. Not only does the rotation allow for the precise amount of light to hit each of the plants, it also uses far less water than conventional farming methods.

Q: Will my dog act the same?

For those of you who don’t live in Australia, thousands of people around the country today gathered to support marriage equality, since both our Prime Minister and Opposition Leader continue to oppose it, despite the fact that most Australians are for it. Here in Adelaide, we’re unfortunately known for a radical Christian group known as the ‘Street Preachers’, which is sort of like the Australian equivalent of the Westboro Baptist Church. They go out into the middle of shopping areas, or bus stops in the CBD and protest against anything that they deem offensive or un-Christian: abortion, fornication, gay rights, etc. They don’t just stand there and hold signs: they actually yell at people in the street, the usual things being: ‘You’re going to hell!’ or ‘You’re living in sin!’ They’re so hated in this city that people have tried to get them removed, but they always keep finding loopholes to get back and protest.
I took this photo of their sign juxtaposed with a pro-equality sign. As much as the Street Preachers piss everyone off, it’s good to see that the majority of people in this city recognise them for what they are; ignorant bigots.

This is amazing journalism, and the timing of this story is just impeccable. Not a day after President Obama comes out in support of marriage equality do we find out that Mitt Romney was a horrible gay bashing bully.
It’s absurd how he claims he has no recollection of the events. These are the types of things that would haunt most people for life.
“[A] closeted gay student…recalled that his efforts to speak out in class were punctuated with Romney shouting, ‘Atta girl!’”
Mitt Romney: First Class Douchebag.
