Behold, maybe the only FDR versus werewolves film in history
And now, for something completely different. Well, not that different from Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, but pretty outlandish in the grand scheme of things. Maybe it's the next Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS?
In any case, here's the preview for FDR: American Badass! This film promises lycanthrope versions of Hitler, Hirohito, and Mussolini. Also, Kevin Sorbo plays Abe Lincoln, and Ethan from Lost is hanging out. The release date has yet to be announced, but a sweep of the Independent Spirit Awards is a lock.
Listen to an Auto-Tuned David Attenborough and Bill Nye croon about evolution

The latest Symphony of Science track is out, and it is a doozy. Listen to David Attenborough, Richard Dawkins and Bill Nye get their rave on for evolution. Who knew synths intermingled with amoebas on the Tree of Life? Hat tip to Krakenstein2!

PROTECT IP / SOPA Act Breaks the Internet
PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet from Fight for the Future on Vimeo.
The video above discusses the Senate version of the House's Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). In the Senate the bill is called the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA). SOPA has gotten more attention than PIPA because it was moving faster in the legislative process. But PIPA is just as dangerous, and now it is moving faster.
PIPA would give the government new powers to block Americans' access websites that corporations don't like. The bill lets corporations and the US government censor entire websites and cut sites off from advertising, payments and donations.
This legislation will stifle free speech and innovation, and even threaten popular web services like Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook.
The bill is scheduled for a test vote in the Senate on Jan. 24th: We need to act now to let our lawmakers know just how terrible it is. Will you fill out the form above to ask your lawmakers to oppose the legislation and support a filibuster?
