Today's Mighty Oak


Alright, first up, Reddit did some great work when they spammed (and then automated) Kellogg’s systems when they were trying to hire scabs during the strike.

Stephen Colbert celebrated The Fellowship of the Ring’s 20th anniversary with an amazing rap tribute!

New images of a binary star system!

Carl Nassib used his cleats to fundraise for The Treavor Project!

The (red band) trailer for The Legend of Vox Machina dropped:

Colton Haynes shares his experiences being gay in Hollywood. Spoiler: it’s not great.

Goldfish are driving! Kind of.

The James Webb Space Telescope successfully launched (and now deployed). It will take about six months to get to it’s location, but it was so cool waking up on Christmas to watch the launch!

And just remember, life is precious, unless it’s not. A video from one of my favorite drag queens:

That’s it for now, have a great one!

A quick story about how I gain some sick pleasure:

For my birthday last year my boss got me an iTunes gift card since he always sees me with earphones in.  Which was very nice of him, he certainly did not need to do that.  Nor was I going to lament that it was a gift card for iTunes, and I have a Zune (also, iTunes is one of the most bloated programs, ever, but I digress).

I was going to download “The Onion: Future News” but as it turned out, that is now free, so instead I downloaded a new CD from a friend of mine.  Sadly, I usually can’t make it to his shows, but he is talented, so I was happy to support him.  This left me with $4 and some change, which I’ll be slowly working down.

One track I purchased with that left over credit: a new remix of “We Belong,” the proceeds of which are directly supporting the Trevor Project, a charity which supports LGBT youth.

Oh, the irony (and the good music)

All my best,

The King of Spades
