Great clip about Circle of Hope, a thrift store church. I love what a grass-roots, localized picture of community this paints (eat your heart out, Joel Osteen). Oh, to be 10 years younger and living in Philadelphia.

Beauty Is Pixel Deep. “Listen, you don’t need to look like this because they don’t look like this!” A fashion/beauty magazine retoucher bluntly explains her line of work. The last 1:30 is gold.
Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn’t seen it). Randomly weaving the story lines of the three movies together makes for some compelling material.

Reading Rainbow visits the Star Trek: TNG set (part 1, 2). I can remember watching this on PBS as a kid and being fascinated, but today the special effects seem so old school. Glitter swirling in water? Really??

The Dark Knight in 8 bits. As someone who was addicted to the NES Batman video game over the holiday season in 1989 this makes my nostalgia meter go off like fireworks.

Mr. Belding has just one question.

Louis CK on modern conveniences. This guy is hilarious in addition to being right on the money. It seems like the faster technology progresses, the more we take it for granted. (This has been linked to all over the place but I had to tumble it for my own posterity.)

A dose of tween humor for your Almost Friday. This clip is nothing short of amazing… a gem chock full of sociological phenomena. I especially like “I bet $50 on this dude… I don’t even have $50!”

The Weakerthans - “Our Retired Explorer (Dines With Michel Foucault In Paris, 1961)”
A great song from The Weakerthans, who are my musical obsession of the week.
