The God Debate
Eminent but by no means unimpeachable but still pretty awesome literary theorist Terry Eagleton on the contemporary God debate.
This really is the best- constructed and delivered criticism on the foundational assumptions of "movement atheism" that I've seen in a while.

Harlem Shake Explained
YouTube is bursting at the seams with these videos.
That's how artists do… I think the production is phenomenal. If I was the spry young man I was many years ago back in my rapping days, I'd definitely be at the club trying grind up on numerous lady folk to his song while spilling Maker's Mark and ginger ale on their shoulders. But I'm a Buddhist now.

"I am calling you from Windows"
I've personally received 2 of these calls at home in the past month. While I hope anyone who has fallen into our corner of the internet isn't so gullible it's always a good idea to share these scams.
