Dana's Virtual Museum of Unusual LP Cover Art is priceless. Exactly what it says on the tin.
Sing along! Let's gooooo flyyyy a... bee?
Gregg and Evan Spiridellis are back - Jibjab productions, who brought you the beautifully worked "This Land" now bring you a sequel. It's not quite as strong as the original but it's clever, silly and comes with a simple message: VOTE. If you don't someone'll win anyway, so go on: have a laugh. Punch those chads out.

Laydeez and gennelmen, I present Good To Be In D.C.

The (In)Security Camera is a robotic surveillance camera with advanced computer-vision software that can track, zoom, and follow subjects walking through its field of view. Deploying sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms in use today by the U.S. military and Homeland Security forces, it can assess threat levels in real time and respond accordingly.

However, the camera is, in fact, a little insecure. Easily startled by sudden movements, it is shy around strangers and tends to avoid direct eye contact. This reversal of the relationship between the surveillance system and its subjects gives the machine an element of human personality and fallibility that is by turns endearing, tragic, and slightly disturbing.
Chupacabra!
Cripes. Ten years ago, GWB could string a sentence together. Whilst I didn't agree with his solutions for Texas, they were confidently and forcefully debated. Now, he's a fumbling cretin. Was that too harsh? I think not.

Watch this. It's a provocative video that contrasts the 1994 GWB with the 2004 Dubya. I'm not sure I agree with the conclusion - pain control issues can lead to the same cognitive problems, as I know only too well. The fact remains that the President missed his physical this year.

Are his advisors running the show? What's his hump telling him today?

The fightback begins.

At last: refugees from Christianity go public in style.

Bent fuckers. Go get 'em Bill.
A hack a day helps you work, rest and play. Or something. Oh, there's some scary stuff here.
Lost in Translation defies any description that would improve on just going there.

This could get me barred


...from every art gallery in the north.

Oooh, political.

It is worth noting that the original photograph of Guevara was taken during a memorial ceremony for lives lost while the US meddled in another country's business. So: no parallel there, then.

She's gonna blow!

They evacuated this point a few hours ago, so this is the closest you'll
get.

Enjoy. Bear in mind that the bloke standing at that spot when it blew in 1980 pretty much evaporated.

And, in the meantime here's an account of the effects of ash fall. Wow.
