Apropos of nothing, the new edition of D&D came out on my birthday.

Laurin Döpfner took an industrial sander to objects like logs, electronics, a camera, and a walnut, shaved off 0.5 mm at a time, and made a time lapse video of the results.

Nope.

This is great.

Just weeks before Blackwater guards fatally shot 17 civilians at Baghdad’s Nisour Square in 2007, the State Department began investigating the security contractor’s operations in Iraq. But the inquiry was abandoned after Blackwater’s top manager there issued a threat: “that he could kill” the government’s chief investigator and “no one could or would do anything about it as we were in Iraq,” according to department reports.

Well, that’s one reason to stop investigating an organization.

EZ on the Motion is the god damn best. (Also Saukrates went to R.H. King and Agincourt. What?)

Craig Mod visits Ghana to learn how Worldreader’s projects to get eBooks to the masses is working out.

An Ex-Con Reviews Orange Is the New Black.

It’s pretty awesome, as usual. I saw them open for the Kaiser Chiefs in 2005.

After the show they were outside chatting with the crowd and signing up people for their mailing list. They came off as a very humble group. I really hope these guys end up successful, they seemed like a really nice group of people.

Hah.

Of course he did. Is Ward 7 such a piece of shit they can’t elect a candidate that isn’t Mammoliti? It’s not even that the guy is such a moron: he’s also terrible.
