No doubt many of you, like me, have recently seen The Simpsons Movie. I left wondering two things: why the movie was so terrible, and what in blazes is Inuit throat singing. The internet, to my pleasure and edification, was able to answer half of my questions.

At 5 am today, Your Black Muslim Bakery in Oakland was raided (video). The hub of Yusuf Bey's empire and religious sect, it has a checkered history involving murders, child rape, political corruption, vigilante justice, liquor store vandalism (previously), and internecine killings. Is today's raid related to yesterday's assassination of Oakland journalist Chauncey Bailey?

In a recent interview, Dita Von Teese discussed the time, effort, and manpower necessary to turn a regular person into a celebrity. Luckily, Planet Hiltron is here to undo all that work through the magic of Photoshop. Hiltron imagines an alternate world in which Pamela Anderson is just Pam from accounting, Anna Wintour lounges around in a terrycloth romper, and Nicole Kidman has all the Australian beauty of an Outback Steakhouse. Luckily, they always have their education to fall back on.

The book is an account of the battle of Adrianopolis (Turkey) in 1912 in which the author volunteered as a Futurist-soldier.
Futurism (1909-1944) was perhaps the first movement in the history of art to be engineered and managed like a business.
