Today's Mighty Oak


Alright, let’s see what we have today.  First up, the Patton Oswalt Star Wars filibuster (all from his head by the way, not scripted) has been animated:

As the debate about voter ID laws continue, here’s some startling facts:

Between 2000 and 2010 there were 649 million votes cast in general elections; 47,000 UFO sightings; 441 Americans killed by lightning; and 13 credible cases of in-person voter impersonation.

So this is really, really scary: a child has burst into flames…four times!  And to be fair, he would more likely be part of the FF (Fantastic Four/Future Force, whatever they’re called at the moment).

Awesome music video from Mumford and Sons…and fiends:

A federal court has struck down a bigoted anti-Islamic law in Oklahoma.  It’s really nice to see that, as there has been a rash of hatred in the south (and the west) and it all seems so knee-jerk racism with no grounds in reality.

Good news, the American Bar Association is pushing a ban on using the “gay panic” defense.  Nice to see that making its way forward as well.

This is a bit sadistic, but fun to watch.  Turn on the English closed captions to know what’s going on:

That’s it for today, have a great one!

Another reminder, the far-right doesn’t want you to vote, they want to remove your democracy, because it makes it easier for them to win.  Keep that in mind.

A new trailer for Neverwinter.  I’m very excited.  Also, how often do you hear a woman narrator?  Pretty cool.

So, a giant rubber duck went through London:

The karma Wi-Fi hotstop.  When you share, you get more data free.  Pretty cool, although I wish it was more than 100MB of free data.  But still, I love the idea.

And if you didn’t see it, you can purchase Pittsburgh Dad DVDs.

That’s it for now, have a great one!
