God help me, I’m posting a funny cat video.
Found at Scientific American.
The minions of Lucifer are so damn cute when they’re tiny. This is precisely how they are able to infiltrate our lives. Laugh, my friends, but beware…

This is cat battle armor. It is made by someone called sschnabuble, who is selling it on Etsy..
For real.
Now you can dress your minion of Satan to look the part!

Believe me when I say, these are the BEST Muppet bloopers ever. Please, please WATCH. You get to watch Frank Oz’s sanity slowly slip away. Priceless.
“Hubba wah?! HUBBA HUBBA HUBBA WAH?! Hubba WAH?!?”
Oh man. This has so many notes. That makes me so happy!
Always a must reblog each holiday season. Seriously, you cannot beat this blooper reel. There is nothing better.
Muppet bloopers are the best bloopers. Hands down.

London typeface by Antonio Rodrigues

Running off some energy from Chris Turner on Vimeo.
Eight hours in the car, and no backyard to play in like normal means going to to the empty corner of the hotel parking lot to bleed off some energy before bed time.

Alison Krauss & Union Station, “A Living Prayer”, on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
I’m not sure why I was watching The Tonight Show that night a few years ago, but this was how the show ended. It was the first time I had heard of Alison and Union Station, and wow, what an impression they made. What a talented group of musicians. What a voice she has.

Direct link to the Amnesty International report on Qatar’s labor practices in anticipation of the 2022 World Cup in PDF format for download.
The report is the product of three years’ investigation; certainly worth ten minutes to download and skim, if not a bit longer to read.
Slavery is alive and well in the 21st century, and it’s bringing you the World Cup in nine years. What are you going to do about it, futbol fans?
