Shield and Swords: This is a LEGO Ideas project I submitted a while back. If you have an Ideas account, please give it a vote. After all, who doesn't want a life-sized shield and swords made out of Lego bricks hanging on their wall? https://ideas.lego.com/projects/96725
I sincerely appreciate LEGO's recognition that any brick material must stand up over decades -- they do get handed from generation to generation. Good for them for investing in everyone's future.
An interesting story about how LEGO tiptoed into the fan-creation kit business (which has become the uber-popular Ideas line today). https://youtu.be/_gLsqaf383U
"The notion that a lawn might be forced to turn brown can genuinely frightening, as it implies the little people, by which we mean the government, can reach their grubby little peasant-claws even onto the streets of San Marino, or La Jolla, or Rancho Santa Fe. Worse, it implies there are some things which cannot be solved with money—statewide weather patterns, for example—and this is a baffling thought. Put together it's something close to oppression."
We spend more public dollars subsidizing fossil fuels than we spend globally on healthcare. That can't be the right way to do things.

In 2015, fossil fuels will receive $10 million every minute in taxpayer subsidies. If that doesn't piss you off, I don't know what will. http://bit.ly/1Fs2i0x http://bit.ly/1Fs2i0x
