  • Back in December, there was a debate in Albion over the motion "The Catholic Church is a force for good in the world". On one side was an Archbishop from Nigera and a Conservative MP. On the other was Christopher Hitchens and Stephen Fry.

    The whole thing is worth watching, but it got split into 13 parts on YouTube. It starts here, but gets epic with Stephen Fry's opening statement here.
  • An Art installation where When you send an appropriately coded tweet, it spits back an embroidery design, which, if you approve it, will be sent to an Tajima embroidery machine, and emboidered onto a shirt.

    Side note - I grew up, or at least, spent a good part of my time from an early age learning to digitize designs, hoop, lay out, and embroider shirts, and to clean by hand(though, in my teen years, I upgraded to an air compressor) and fix these machines, thanks to my parents business. I thought this video would give me a tinge of nostalga, but apparently, the video doesn't quite convey the incredible noise of these machines, which unlike the video's discreet "Kacha kacha kacha kacha" like an oversize sewing machine, sounds more like two typewriters high on ludicrous amounts of amphetamines fucking in a 44 gallon drum.

    I'm really enjoying this set of videos the only issue is that one lady (pro-catholic) is really really annoying, I like the Archbishop though.(he even clapped from Stephen Fry)

    I only ever knew it as manlytears.jpeg.
  • I thought it was Kenshiro.

    That's who I thought it was. Kenshiro is more appropriate for legendary Manly Tears, in my opinion.
