How The Byzantine Empire Was Built

Usually the History Channel talks down to viewers like they're five year old imbeciles who can't understand a timeline unless there's men in costumes, hacking and slashing their way through enemies. 

It isn't hacking and slashing free, but this documentary of the history of Byzantium through its building projects is damn good for the History Channel and connected up a few timelines for me. I also recommend Professor Paul Freedman's Yale Lecture on the subject (posted below) and the excellent In Our Time episode on the topic.

Dhiyaa Al Musawi - Bahraini Intellectual & Writer on Arab Regressiveness

A must listen on how keeping people stupid foments Islamic religious extremism. As Dhiyaa Al Musawi,explains "When they get religion, they stop smiling". 

This is a full on attack against the forces of darkness in Islam across the Arab world. 

The religious nutbags who have a hatred for enlightenment and learning. 

There should be more Muslims standing up and calling out the people who want to wind the clock back to the dark ages.

Parliamentary Child Abusers Make Face Sitting Illegal

Anyone else shocked at the chutzpah of a corrupt, debased and venal British parliament making face sitting illegal in adult videos and photography? 

These are the same people who have the highest number of child abusers in a single profession outside of being Royalty.
