The musical insanity break for this Sunday afternoon is Chris Thile’s band Punch Brothers, performing “Sometimes” from the album Punch. American chamber music at its finest.

Fuckin' Magnets: Learn How They Work.
On June 5th, a gaggle of brave Noisebridgers plastered their skin in face paint and headed to the nearby Insane Clown Posse show to teach science to Juggalos (fans of ICP). Armed with lab coats and poster-boards, these clown scientists were set to explain the science behind butterflies, Faygo, and, of course, motherfucking magnets. By several accounts, the Noisebridge members were actually getting along with the Juggalo crowd as they waited outside of the venue, up until a few members of ICP’s roadcrew came out and said the band was none to happy about anyone trying to teach science to their fans. SFSlim tweeted that the group was physically threatened by ICP’s crew and Violent J, one half of the Insane Clown Posse, even bragged about it on his twitterhole. A clown with no sense of humor… who’d a thunk it?

Here's my Father's Day gift - an account of the nation's eating habits during the Great Depression, courtesy of one of the WPA's make-work initiatives that encouraged people to write down their local cuisines at a time when people ate locally and seasonally - a landscape almost totally alien when compared with today's globalized food market.
Off to hunker down with it for a while.

From your link,
Israel has warned U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that Israel will use force, if necessary, to stop the boats, one of which is carrying approximately 70 women passengers and crew organized by Hizbullah support Samar al-Hajj. Her husband is one of several jailed suspects involved in the assassination for former Lebanese anti-Syrian Prime Rafik Hariri.Hizbullah has denied it is connected with the Lebanese flotilla, but it has been reported that Al Hajj met with Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah last month.
Alternate reality:
Lebanese flotilla to Gaza to be crewed by women
The Lebanese ship is being sponsored by Hizballah. The group's leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, personally tasked Alhaj with leading the mission. Alhaj is the well-known wife of a Lebanese security officer believed to have participated in the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, who was an opponent of Hizballah and the group's Syrian allies.
