watch it: “January 6, 2009: The Day in 100 Seconds”
Well, to be fair, it’s not the entire day, not absolutely everything that happened on Planet Earth on Tuesday, but if you’re a junkie for American politics and read political blogs and watch CNN or MSNBC or Fox News all day, this would have saved you a lot of time: It seems that the blog … more…
watch it: “Chad Vader Goes Turkey Bowling”
I knew Chad Vader was a meme, but I had no idea turkey bowling was a thing: There’s more than 600 turkey bowling videos on YouTube. I quite like “Turkey Bowling! ‘The frozen addiction’” too: YouTube, aka America’s Funniest Home Videos: The Next Generation.
watch it: “Tales of Mere Existence: How to Cope With Depression”
It’s kinda like a Web comic that moves: “Tales of Mere Existence” reminds me of Matt Groening’s “Life in Hell,” only less cheery.

Wow. This movie — from the archives of the British Film Institute — is 110 years old:
watch it: “Hamster On A Piano (Eating Popcorn)”
Continuing today’s rodential theme: This could be the embodiment of Web video right here: adorable, pointless, and complete with a horribly catchy tune that wants you to get up and dance and, at the same time, claw your eardrums out.https://www.flickfilosopher.com/MT336-static/images/formatting-icons/field-smaller.gif And yet, there’s something weirdly special about it. Someone had to have the idea to … more…
watch it: “What Image Opened Your Eyes to Human Rights?”
Today is the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and in this video, staff from Witness talk about images that opened their eyes to human rights abuses around the world: You can answer the video’s call to action — asking you to discuss what images opened your eyes — at Witness.
