Via thequietquiet, a video of acrobatic ball kicking and juggling.  Fake?  Maybe, but still pretty good.

If you're curious to know what 2wanda's and my relationship was like early on, you should rent Prime, although our story didn't end the way the movie did (obviously); Kim and i would love to let Ben Younger, the writer/director, know that, hey, we started dating at 23 and 37, too, and while one of us wasn't seeing their putative-mother-in-law during therapy, we had a bunch of other obstacles to overcome, and, well, we made it work, so your crappy ending is just that, crappy.

Another fine Improv Everywhere stunt (thanks, en_ki).

Lyndon LaRouche asks, "Is the Devil in your laptop?" (thanks, tritone).

racerxmachina let me know that SJSU's president issued a letter banning blood drives on campus due to the FDA's policy that bans gay men (or, indeed, any man who's had sex with another man) from donating blood.  A tough decision, but i support Kassing's rationale and i hope that his efforts (among those of other campuses) get the FDA to reconsider the policy once we get someone in the White House who isn't an utter imbecile.
