Gareth Lloyd and Tom Martin thought it would be a fun idea to geo-tag every Wikipedia entry in existence and make a visually pleasing video of the result. Sorta makes it look like nothing of any consequence happened outside of Europe until the 1700s, which makes enough sense if you operate under the assumption that everyone that’s written or edited a Wikipedia entry is most likely rich/ educated/ Western/ industrialized.

Needledicking: Making direct contact with a person of higher online social standing within a given community with no fixed intentions or propositions – mainly (merely) to say what’s up or indicate approval of “what they are doing” – under the impression that said action may result in unforeseen future benefit.

Improv Everywhere, a post-modern social movement group dedicated to spreading “joy and chaos” through a series of silly (and inane) missions, pulled their latest stunt yesterday: the 10th annual No Pants Subway Ride.    Over 3,000 bored, free-spirited kids rode the subway in New York City without pants, and thousands more participated in other cities across the globe.
