Dolphins according to http://www.dw.de have non-person hood which would ban the captivity of Dolphins. According to the reports, they brought forth strong evidence that Dolphins have a cognition, communication, and awareness comparable to humans. They have distinct whistles and sounds that
that address other dolphins like we would give names to each other. This granting of non-personhood protects cetaceans (Whales, Dolphins, and other high functioning Cetaceans). This story is awesome because it's nice to see for once we are trying more than to get them to do tricks and entertain us. In India however it seems that is not the case anymore.
Okay, the title says it all. The Covers however in my opinion are FREAKING AWESOME! Entertainment Weekly with the credit for these SWEET COVERS. Two Movies I can't wait to see. Amazing Spiderman was a great reboot, and the second seems to look just as awesome with Peter Parker rocking a more classic style Spidey Suit. Jamie Fox as Electro with a real first look on the approach of the character. This cover is SO AWESOME.
Second you have a movie that actually deserves a reboot. With the ability of CGI and camera tricks, "Carrie" should be a even better movie. Casting Chloe Grace Moretz to play the lead role. Hit Girl looks ready to ruin High School all over again. I was a fan then just basically cause you know: she could light people on fire. Which was handy when people really pissed you off. Can't wait for this AWESOME movie either.

This tweet came out yesterday after a historic filibuster from Texas Senator Wendy Davis. Her filibuster was on an abortion bill that would all but ban abortion in the state of Texas. Wendy Davis took on a 12 hour filibuster to kill the legislation. Immediately you could find photos of Wendy Davis like this one:
As the clock got closer and closer she fought on more and more. A remarkable moment in American History. According to a report from thinkprogress.org The GOP of Texas attempted to shut down her filibuster by using a very strict three strikes policy dealing with how you are to filibuster in the Senate. They even took a vote despite her filibuster. Turns out though according to the Huffington Post that vote was taken and recorded at 12:03 a.m. A tweet was sent out by Cecile Richards saying:
This is truly one of the most single important moments in our history. It was truly amazing. What is also amazing is that her Senate seat was saved by The Voting Rights Act according to an article in HuffPo.
Now I can't say anything awesome with the Voting Rights Act but something amazing happened in Texas. Update today is Rick Perry is calling a special session to deal with the other "bills that weren't presented" due to Wendy Davis and her Epic filibuster. Also today the Supreme Court found the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional. For once something awesome, Democracy is at the top of the list.
While struggling to even be acknowledged by the anchors, and not plugging his comedy tour effectively, Russell Brand took over the interview and at one point did the job for them. Why is this awesome? First Russell Brand is hilarious of course, but he shows his ability to take control of a situation direct the conversation. Instead of sitting back and becoming barraged by objectification, and being looked at as if he was not there. Instead of sitting there and constantly taking it. Brand fires back. It catches Mika Brzezinski off guard. In my estimation however, her non-verbal demeanor was hilarious. She at points kept drinking her water, putting her hair behind her ear. I think, in my opinion she went from nervous and off guard, to turned on in about 3 minutes. Brand at one point even points out how she is stroking her water bottle.
Today Mika responded on The Morning Joe to the interview they had with Brand.
Russell Brand was Dominating this set striking up laughs all the while addressing their casual objectification.
Showing off his intelligence of the political landscape at one point even bringing up Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning.
Taking on all anchors at once. Challenging mainstream news media like no one has in those chairs in many many moons. Update! Russell Brand is at it again! Exposing truths, and thinking alternatively. Last night he was on BBC and I found this video where once again Brand shows his immense intellect, passion, and drive. Demonstrating a true belief humanity and planet conservation.
Just check out the Video to the right! He has been in films like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and hosted Brand X however FX maybe going in a different direction with the actor/comedian with ideas in development. Russell Brand, doing Something Awesome. Follow me on Twitter @JusJ_ONTNews and like Our Neighborhood Times on Facebook.
In this video Stephen Colbert tells viewers and live audience why he had been away from the show. I don't want to spoil it, just watch the video. Why is this something awesome Jus' J? Well, because it was absolutely something he didn't have to do or share with the public. Colbert has a loyal following and viewership. To show everyone this side of him is pretty amazing. Their are a lot of celebs that would not want this type of look into their private lives. It was such a humanizing moment that will be one of the great moments in broadcast TV. This truly was something awesome. My thoughts go out to the Colbert Family.
If you haven't heard there was a child singing the national anthem in a Mariachi Outfit at the NBA finals this past weekend. Turns out according to the dailymail 11 year Sebastien De La Cruz was a last minute replacement for Darius Rucker to sing the National Anthem. Due to a "Wardrobe Malfunction" aka his Mariachi threads caused what I like to call "Blue Bird Rage!" leading to you guessed it, racist comments. So in the following game the San Antonio Spurs responded by you guessed it booking him AGAIN to sing the National Anthem for the next game and he was received with amazing cheers! In my book is nothing short of AWESOME!!!
Think of yourself at your High School graduation. Picture all your closest friends and family with you in a very important moment in your life. The commencement ceremony is starts and you are the Salutatorian of your class. You know what for even better measure you were raised in Texas. That all seems like a lot of pressure right? Yes in my opinion the state of Texas is also added pressure and I'll explain why in a moment. Public speaking isn't easy as a teen and it's probably not something you are use to doing.
Now picture all those elements except during your Salutatorian speech, you come out. You let the whole world know you are gay. That's what Mitch Anderson of Texas did. The Huffington Post has the entire article and more links to his entire speech at that link.
Now my hope is that being gay, straight, bisexual, or transgendered becomes a social norm and acceptable in society before the end of my life. This story shows a courage that hardly anyone possesses. He's quoted in the speech talking about a boy he liked in high school. Most of us couldn't tell the person we liked in private let alone in front of your ENTIRE graduating class. AND IN TEXAS! What makes the story even better is that his family embraced him, told him they loved him, and his Father Hugged him. Bravery that not really anyone could show at that moment to disclose something like that.
