Did you check out all the amazing linky people added in comments last week? So much good stuff there. I haven’t even got to the end of the list myself. Go back and see. And hey, it’s not too late to add yours…
But the grind of linky is eternal and unceasing, so here be more:
The Content Farm, which shows how one good joke executed flawlessly can be all you need.
Data about infographics, presented as an infographic.
What a personality cult actually is (I found this quite enlightening)
Star Wars the musical from 1996! This is an unlicensed adaptation of Star Wars performed by high-schoolers, with new Star Wars lyrics to famous songs.

You want right wing wacko rap videos? Here’s, apparently seriously, a 9/11 truther rap, featuring the rebel yell of “We gotta band together, do what we can to spread the knowledge/ Pass out documentary DVDs at every college,” and bustin’ open new world of scansion with “If you believe the official story you can be sure to say / I guess the laws of physics stopped working that day.”
