Web Gems #2

Some things I've seen on the internet in recent weeks:


http://knowyourmeme.com/videos/54768-creepypasta: A psychologist created this video, an representation of what it’s like to have schizophrenic auditory hallucinations, based on hearsay from actual schizophrenics. It’s beautifully terrifying.

http://pandyland.net/random: The makers of the nihilistic comic Pandyland created this random comic generator, which shows you a sequence of three images with no necessary order whatsoever, providing strips alternatingly silly, depressing, and Kafkaesque.

http://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/: A wonderful interactive graphic explaining logical fallacies in layman’s terms, including examples for each.

http://grist.org/news/words-the-coal-industry-doesnt-want-to-hear-senator-ashley-judd/: Confirming rumors swirling around the media, country music star and environmentalist Ashley Judd announced she is considering a run for Senate as a Democrat against Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell. I’m not certain what her actual chances are, but the prospect is quite exciting.

http://anarchistsoccermom.blogspot.com/2012/12/thinking-unthinkable.html: An informational blog post, in response to the Connecticut school shootings, about the American mental health system. Written by the mother of a child with unknown mental health issues, I doubt anything has enlightened me surrounding the shootings as this.  

I've been busy with school recently, but I'll be posting plenty more once winter break starts.
