The Muppets respond to Fox news.
Look, it's Hollywood History Tours' photostream!
Look, it's (the young) Jon Stewart in a mosh pit!
Look, it's bajillions of starlings over Rome, narrated by David Tennant!
One of a kind Jack Harkness yarn- like, for knitting.
An interesting article on the French artist-hacker underground.
This is interesting- author Mary Robinette Kowal is temporarily withdrawing from email, and going back to paper mail. I don't know if I'd got that far, but I do find myself missing hold-in-your-hand letters...
OK- any company that produces lipstick shades including "This Corrosion" and "Black Lagoon has my vote.
Rare pictures from the early days of NASA spaceflight. (I wonder how Buzz Aldrin feels about being remembered as the first man to pee on the moon?)
Volcanos seen from space.
NASA finds lost spacecraft on dark side of the moon.
Camera made from a beer can gets cool time lapse photo of the sun. Huh. (More such pictures here.)
Clouds of "cold plasma" reach from the top of Earth's atmosphere to at least a quarter the distance to the moon, according to new data from a cluster of European satellites.
Amelia Earhart's final resting place may have been found.
Cecil B. DeMille aside, it looks as though the pyramids weren't built with slave labor.
Kudos to the site for the new Lorax movie for including a section on what kids can do to help the environment!
A touching remembrance of film exec Bingham Ray. I never met him; more than one of my friends had good things to say about him.
Noam Chomsky remembers Howard Zinn.
A quick cure for nosebleeds- bacon! Wait, what...?
Dick Tufeld, voice of the Lost in Space robot ("Damger, Will Robinson!"), rest in peace.
Magnetic soap!
Mister Tea!
B'zuh?
In honor of the centenary of the first expedition to the South Pole, Two Aussies ski 1,400 miles to the South Pole, unaided; a paralyzed athlete" sit-skis" the entire way. WOW.
An amazing time-lapse video of Yosemite National Park; a "making-of" documentary.
It warms the cockles of my heart to know that there's a Facebook site devoted to John Waters movie locations.
This is really sad- a man spends 10 years decorating his apartment to resemble the bridge of the Enterprise- but now, his ex-wife is selling it.
I'm really digging![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

Likewise, the small business social media sheet sheet.
How to start a fire with ice.
How stuff works- the Web site version. If TV Tropes is a 10 on the Web addiction scale, this is fast shaping up to be at least an 8.5...
Apparently, (I say "apparently" because I can't get the video to play), Trey Parker and Matt Stone hit the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University to surprise a room of freshmen in a “Storytelling Strategies” class.
Things I never heard of until tonight: SABR, the Society for American Baseball Research.
In 1960, Captain Joseph Kittinger rode the Excelsior III gondola up to 102,800 feet,and jumped out.
Scottish soldier Ben Shaw lost both his eyes to a roadside bombing in 2007 while he was serving in Iraq. Now, he plays World of Warcraft, with help from an in-game "guide dog."
How bloodstain pattern analysis works.
I stumbled across this comment thread from an old LJ entry of mine while looking for something else; it still makes me smile :) (As does this notorious Torchwood fic by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sam_storyteller; if I recall, Gareth David-Lloyd himself heard about it...)
Man builds a street-legal replica of the Batmobile from Tim Burton's Batman using a turbine engine; its top speed is 185 MPH.
In the '90s, this could have been a lead-in to an X-Files episode (and possibly could still do for Torchwood): A man in Dorset has been left mystified after tiny blue spheres fell from the sky into his garden.
The Department of Housing & Urban Development is set to make final on Monday its proposed non-discrimination rule for LGBT people in federally funded and federally regulated housing programs, according to two informed sources.
Activists are concerned for the safety of a 30-year-old man arrested by the religious police in Saudi Arabia for using Facebook to date other men. "Generally speaking, punishments for homosexuality range from imprisonment and/or flogging to the death penalty."
Random: I wish that there were a better (or at least, less potentially triggery) one-word catchall term for "does not color within the heteronormative gender lines" than "queer"- several people on my flist have said at one point or another that the word "queer" upsets them, which I can definitely understand.
