• Buzzfeed on how Russia Today tried to sell Germany — Germany! — as a failed state. At the risk of sounding like a hipster, I've been hating on RT before hating on RT is cool, and crap like this is why.


• Pussy Riot — yes, that Pussy Riot — joins the protests against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.


• Sounds like white supremacists are marching all over the nation tomorrow, including downtown Portland. Anyone care to join me at the counter-demonstration?
