The Little Rock Nine
On September 25th of 1957, under the watchful eye of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division, nine black teenagers nervously entered the previously all-white Little Rock High School to become students. A similar but unguarded attempt weeks earlier had been alarmingly unsuccessful, and even this subsequent military intervention - ordered by President Eisenhower no less - did little to prevent the unrelenting abuse unleashed on the Little Rock Nine over the next year.
Central to the area's desegregation - and therefore a major figure in the early stages of the entire civil rights movement - was Daisy Bates: publisher of the local black newspaper and President of the Arkansas branch of the NAACP. Below is a letter she wrote in December of that year to NAACP's executive director, Roy Wilkins, in which she updates him on the students' progress.

As the hidden recorder travels through the global mail system, from London to Helsinki, it captures the unexpected.

Tea and Bullets
Today MPs will vote on whether to abolish the long gun registry. Perhaps constituents on both sides of the issue will stop lobbying and I'll be able to get some real work done. If people would be content to use porcelain guns my life would have been a lot easier these past few weeks.

I'm itching to decorate the upstairs bathroom. Mr. Nag halfheartedly slapped a coat of primer on it a year ago and it's crying out for je ne sais quoi. I definitely will not be using this as inspiration!

Should I stop at the hairy elephant sign?
PANOS 2013 is a collaborative project that takes the work of artists from around the world, in the form of fake road signs, and turns the streets of Lyon, France into an enormous gallery without walls
The round red and white signs look enough like real European traffic signs that you might take them for granted, but weird enough if you notice them to make you stop and think.Via

Several hours are recorded, with new stuff overwriting the old... and if you saw anything interesting, you click its button and have the last 30 seconds saved and shared on YouTube and other networks.
