Linkdump: Vultural Enrichment
I'm not reposting the Neda Soltani video. If you haven't seen it, it's an amateur videorecording of a young woman in Iran dying in the street during a protest just days ago. At first we aren't sure what happened; a dazed woman with some blood around her feet is lowered to the ground by people around her. Her body is oddly passive, but her eyes are darting all around, at one point looking directly into the camera. People around her are crouching over her and shouting things. Then, blood begins pouring from her mouth and nose. It's just terrible. You can find it if you want to.


··· Okay, so Barack Obama gave a 4-star general a direct order to cut Stephen Colbert's hair. Note Obama's skill at deadpan humor. Regardless of party, this is now a key voting issue for me.

··· Great little short film, "Sebastian's Voodoo". It's a Boingboing repost; you might have already seen it.


··· Good online comic: Survive!!. Via Warren Ellis.


··· Great comic from a great webcomic series, Subnormality. This is one of those things where you should probably start at the beginning. There aren't too terribly many of them and it's well worth the time.


··· Seed Bombs to combat desertification. Oddly, I can see this being economically viable. Maybe. If the areas aren't easily accessible by land. I'm thinking two or three guys and a Land Rover, or two or three guys and half dozen camels.


··· Yootoob: Hitler loved Jews. Who knew?


··· Tactical corsets. They're kind of new and the website isn't done yet, but it's FUNNY. Look on the right and scroll down.
