Anonymous Vs. Scientology Updates

If you’re at all interested in the protests against The Church of Scientology (not the religion mind you) happening tomorrow (today? well the 10th anyways) here are some links of interest:

Something Awful Protest Report Thread

Twitter: The Perth Raid (one of the first protests due to the time zone). Nothing is there as of this writing, but I expect good things.

Anonymous vs. Scientology (Part Deux!). The first Something Awful thread on the subject reached 200 pages and then this was opened. Talk of live protests start around the page linked here. You can also start at the beginning and spend the day there if you like.

Post-Game. A forum on Enturbulation for after/during the protest reports.

Governmentattic.org

Pardon the lack of updates this week. I’m back though, really!

The Government Attic has some great documents released via the freedom of information act. The FCC complaints make for scary and interesting reading.

Amazing Guns

This collection of “The Most Amazing Guns in the World” has some way out ones. While I am not even close to a fan of weapons, I admit the crucifix gun is pretty sweet.

Futility Closet

I don’t remember if I’ve linked to Futility Closet before, but if I did this is a reminder to check it out. A great site, it’s full of random information, stories, mathmatical equations and lots more. Very nice.

Internet Archive: Feature Films

I’m not sure when the Internet Archive added this many Feature Films, but having “Bad Taste” by Peter Jackson makes it a-ok in my book.
