Every day, albatross chicks die on Midway Atoll in the North Pacific because they’re fed plastic pieces, which look like food to their foraging parents.  Photographer Chris Jordan took beautiful and terrible photos of their insides.  “Not a single piece of plastic in any of these photographs was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way,” he says. “These images depict the actual stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world’s most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent.”  Via The Strange Attractor.

A most wonderful Allison Schulnik claymation video to the tune “Ready, Able,” by Grizzly Bear.  They melt.  They look down at their hands, they wonder.

“
The Edgertonite National Party exists to secure political independence for the people of the Midwestern United States and a homeland for the Lauraist religion. We use the term “Nation of Edgerton” to describe the area within a 240-mile radius of Minneapolis, Minnesota. We are a non-traditional Communist party, based on the ideology of Lauraism: the belief that Laura Ingalls Wilder is God, Communism (public ownership of business) is the best form of government, age of consent laws should be repealed, public transit should be returned to the routes, fares, and schedules of 18 September 1970, the Nation of Edgerton should secede from the United States as a Lauraist homeland, and all people, including children, deserve as much personal liberty as possible consistent with public safety and the rights of others.
— No joke.
