There should be a word to describe the feeling of watching a cherished post descend your feed unshared.
Here is one that I want to give a second chance: A beautiful and sorrowful poem by Ilya Ehrenburg.

Circle dots to the clockwise.
The link between censorship and labiaplasty The video itself is well worth the watch, particularly if you want some justification to check out women's vaginas. Long story short: Australia is dealing with a rash of plastic surgery that is entirely related to the prudish way in which Australia regulates naughty pictures. Women are having their "normal" rearranged by censors' ideals and it's causing them to take the knife to their ladybits. You pull this plane on like a pair of jeans A long-form article on the modern flyers of pre-war biplanes.
Excellent thread idea. Here's one that I had hoped would get more love: Listen to Wikipedia. It's such a neat idea, and the result is absolutely gorgeous and relaxing.
This is fantastic! I love eightbitsamurai's metaphor: It's like listening to the collective knowledge of the world being built piece by piece.
and more... maybe it's the soundtrack of The Singularity.
Mine: This is the story of how Greece’s most wanted man became a folk hero. A Manifesto for Quality Thought Others: Eigenmorality by Kaius The Day I Started Lying To Ruth - Oncologist Talks About Wife Dying of Cancer by _refugee_ In other news...I think I may have just fried my computer trying to convert a video while editing while Hubskiing while installing VMware to play 8bits game. I'll be back after a restart (and maybe some new ram) with more links. If my client doesn't kill me for cutting this so damn close.
Hm, looks like the last couple full albums I shared didn't gain traction. Shame, there's some good music there. Of the two, I think congotronics by Konono No. 1 would particularly interest a few of the site's musically inclined. Some good-ass party music.
Ok so I have posted quite a few articles that got no love but looking back at them now it is no real surprise as most of them are... esoteric is probably the kindest word.
The ones I was a little disappointed by their lack of hub love would be: Lets put the future behind us I meant to mention this one to kleinbl00 as it might interest him. Visualizing Algorithms Far more sophisticated to my own post on vizualising hubski connections over here but lacking the hubski reference hook. The forbidden island And a selfish one, something I wrote myself. Not a random post, more of a system for producing random text using a special syntax. Like I said, esoteric.
I made a thing, it creates Test Data using a regular expression like syntax.
A Complicated Question It's a quick-read comic. Very interesting perspectives.
That poem must be read with the sounds of Wikipedia revisions in the background. omg (I feel a #todayswritingprompt coming on).

I legitimately use this all the time, and think it's super cool. Unlocking a Car with Your Brain - Sixty Symbols Just about everything in the Brady Haran family of youtube channels is interesting. he's also co-host with CGPgrey on the Hello Internet podcast. Here's a mashup of bits from it.
From a while back - NZ legalises gay marriage and Parliament bursts into song - skip to the one minute mark if you have no patience.
after briefly scrolling through my unshared posts, here's a bunch that i remember in a vaguely positive way No Man's Land: Lying outside the state’s claims to sovereignty, the border zone both challenges and defines the legal conception of the state. The fall of the FBI’s most-wanted cybercriminal Twine, the Video-Game Technology For All Not taking about money is a tool of class war
Terror Incognita: The Paradoxical History of Cosmic Horror, from Lovecraft to Ligotti
The latest entry from CNN's 'Change the List', which was another great journalistic entry from John Sutter.
Biologists / futurists in the room will enjoy. I was pretty bummed this one got passed over
This is true. Alright, let's see if I have this whole -os thing figured out: Ethos: Arkin is a division director at a national lab and is involved with everything biology from megagenomics of soil microbes to open biofab facilities. He's one of the oldest names in both systems biology (how do all the moving parts come together to make a cell work) and synthetic biology. You'll find he's on a large fraction of the references in any textbook on either subject. Pathos: at the risk of abusing the word cool, synbio (synthetic biology) is cool. It's boarding on topics of sci-fi, it had promise in biofuels, medicine, agriculture, ecology, medicine, and many more. It had the goal of turning biology into a true engineering discipline. There are a ton of major hurdles to overcome before this goes from a pipe dream to any sort of reality though. Logos: those hurdles are no joke. What we understand of biology is complex, noisy and almost unpredictable. And that's just what we know. There are all mountains of open questions in all fields of biology. What gene produces what protein? That's been a solved problem for decades, just look up any codon table or scan a genome database. When that gene is expressed? To what degree? Hard. Borderline intractable at the moment. And that's about where the lecture starts. The progress made in the last decade and a half in building and understanding the very most basic elements of single-cellular biology and slowly fashioning predictable machinery and understanding how to connect it all together to finally begin making nontrivial additions in functionality. Want anything from gene therapy more complex that fixing single point mutations to dna? This is the that may one day achieve the stuff of dreams. Synbio is no doubt notorious for hype, but the link above is a nice bit of grounding within the context of the above.
Loving that poem. I think it really captures the humanity of forgotten people - almost like sonder for history. I found this post from a little while ago of a Mike Daisey monologue(/speech) about the state of the arts in America. Super important, IMO. E: I also maintain the hilarity of Shinyribs playing Hendrix on an ukulele.
