As if it wasn't bad enough that there's a sheep that's geneticaly 15% human, someone called Shigella has crocheted a Dalek. Which, in theory could give rise to an entire army of brand new wooly versions of the damned things zapping whole planetary systems and yelling "Exterminate! Exterminate!" in their annoying metallic voices. (Or would the knitted ones sound more like sheep?)This information come from Peromyscus whose very cool blog is perma-linked on the right.
The secret word is Tardis
Also If Charlie Parker Was A Gunslinger There'd Be A Whole Lot of Dead Copycats has some unbelievable pictures of the 1911 Triangle Shirt Factory fire in New York. (And, if you don’t know what that was, fucking look it up. It was the truly hideous face of capitalism.)

Workers, most of them young women, continue to die in garment factory fires. A google search for "garment factory fires" will turn up dozens of stories of fatal fires in Asia. It seems as though the workers always die because they were locked into the factory. This upsets me. Learn how to help at:

Clean Clothes is an organization aiding organizing drives for garment workers worldwide.
By the way, 'If Charlie Parker..' is my new favorite site on the internet. Thanks for the link
I'd also point out that Doc40 carries a permalink over on the right to the International Workers of the World. (http://www.iww.org/)
The dream, at least, of one vast and powerful global union.
And it was the IWW that proclaimed that war was a capitalist crime and that a bayonet was a weapon with a worker at each end.
