I like this short video about how to deal with someone who's just made a racist comment. It's good on keeping that all important difference between "what you said was racist" and "you are a racist".

ill doctrine is a hip-hop video blog hosted by Jay Smooth in this short Youtube video he talks about the best strategy to use when telling someone that they said something racist, by focusing on what they did rather than what they are.

I may have posted this one before: Alfred Cortot who is described, accurately in my opinion, as the greatest interpreter of Chopin. Wonderful.

Youtube overload. meet Dave Thomas, a particulary skilled boy who replicates Jann Tiersen's songs.

Just to share some nice interpretations of Amelie's sountrack.

I Met the Walrus.

A 14-year-old snuck into John Lennon's hotel room with a tape recorder in 1969 and interviewed him. 39 years later, he got an animator to turn the thoughtful little tape into a cartoon.

It's fun, and fructifying.

It can't be helped

Rainbow Girl - heroically mawkish Japanese punk song about the unspoken inner feelings of a character from a dating sim game. If the spirit of C86 lives on anywhere, it is here.

Oh, the sadness

Kudos to the comment leavers, too, for keeping the joke going for so long.

A couple of short animations about men and their cats:

Simon's Cat; agh, the cuteness.

You know, you're right. The worst part is that I had no idea of the commotion at the Batman RIP thread and the ensuing, ongoing banning thread at "Policy & Help" ... too late to say it was meant as a cautionary tale, I guess, then?

Well, sorry for this, let me post something beautiful to compensate (stay for the butterflies).

Well, the debate video has been removed for whatever, but the butterflies really are lovely.
