Sweet video. Over 4000 still frame images used. Catchy Casio-based tune as well.

Shooting reported at Holocaust Museum in Washington

Honestly people, as horrible as this may sound, this recent string of targeted violence has a silver lining. It is evidence that these bigoted idiots are realizing that their numbers are dwindling and their cause is no longer culturally relevant. People have either gotten over their problems with Jews, people who can't take care of babies, Gays, Blacks, etc, or have much, MUCH larger issues at hand.

When people realize the winds are being taken out of their causes' sail, they panic and do irrational shit like this. So, is this bad that abortion doctors are being murdered? Yes. Is it bad that some idiot decides to open fire at the entrance to the Holocaust Museum? Of course. Is it a sign that the collective culture of America is changing? I think so.

As Jim Lahey put it best, "The winds of shit are changing".

Check to see if your mouse has a disease

Check the eyes and nose for any type of discharge. If you see signs of discharge, then most likely your pet mouse has a respiratory infection.

Watch the mouse's behavior. If you see one of your mice acting out of sorts that can also mean that they have a disease. You may see a decreased appetite or lack of activity.

Assume that your mouse has a skin condition if you see it scratching or its skin begins flaking off. These signs indicate that the mouse has mites or lice.

Separate the mouse if you suspect that it has a disease. You don't want the condition to spread to the other mice. Also, practice good hygiene when handling a sick mouse. Wash your hands, wear gloves and clean the cage that houses the sick mouse.

Come 12:01 AM on Saturday, they’ll be open to all. So choose wisely when you pick a name — or it could well end up like that tattoo you regret later in your life if you pick something like “mileycyrusfanforever.” Facebook notes this in their own way:

Think carefully about the username you choose. Once it’s been selected, you won’t be able to change or transfer it. If you signed up for a Facebook Page after May 31 or a user profile after today at 3 p.m. EDT, you may not be able to sign up for a username immediately because of steps we’ve taken to prevent abuse or “squatting” on names.

If you never heard Basement Jaxx's seminal "Rendezvous" LP back in 2000, now's your chance to catch up with them with this club-pleasing track. Video is pretty nuts too.

My favorite song on Merripostweather Pavillion just got turned in to one of the best remixes I have heard this year. Cannot stop listening to this.

Animal Collective - Daily Routine (Phaseone Remix)

Today marks the release of Sonic Youth's latest LP, the eternal. p4k does a pretty great job hitting this review on the head. It's a good listen, but I say stick with Sonic Nurse or Rather Ripped.

AT THE National Rifle Association’s 138th annual convention, held this year in Phoenix, Arizona, 65,000 people poured through the doors. They admired the fancy firearms, snacked on grilled buffalo and were happily recruited by shooting associations. Tom Power, of the Texas Gun Collectors Association, says membership has been soaring since Barack Obama took office. Bill Bachenberg, the owner of a shooting range near Allentown, Pennsylvania, has been registering 400 new members a month. “American gun-owners don’t trust this administration,” he says.

London-born designer Tom Price was commissioned by Arts Co. to produce a piece of work for ‘From Now to Eternity’, an exhibition celebrating design, and focusing on plastic as a versatile material. Addressing concerns over our increasing piles of wasted throw-away plastic products, he chose to create an ingenious series of chairs formed by strategically melting piles of polyester fleece.
