What human rights mean to me


What human rights mean to me, by Amnesty International
As the UDHR turns 60, Amnesty supporters and staff talk about what human rights mean to them

A meeting of my riding association


Just kidding of course. This is a meeting of the Comité républicain socialiste anticollectiviste in 1910. In a Paris bistro.

Complaints Choir

The first Complaints Choir was organized in Birmingham, England, and since then, choirs have sprung up in North America, Asia, Europe, and Australia. Check out the Complaints Choir of Chicago above for a great example.

Angry Mob Playset

"There he is.... get him!!!"

Angry mobs have been shouting that famous line since the beginning of time. And now you can have your own angry mob with this Angry Mob Playset. Each set includes nine 2" to 3" tall, hard vinyl villagers wielding a variety of weapons for them to wave menacingly at the object of their disdain. Great for intimidating your action figures and teaching children the concept of mob rule.

Fuck You, Penguin

A blog that tells cute animals what's what.
Squirrels, platypus (what is the plural?platypi?) moose, seals, siberian tigers - no animal is safe from this curmudgeon's ire.
I can thank Lori for this link.
