This is absolutely priceless. I especially liked the description of the Bolsheviks overthrowing the Russian people's representative [sic] government! Cory Doctorow: This 1961 Catholic Guild Red-scare comic, entitled "This Godless Communism," is a surprisingly comprehensive, incredibly stilted account of the Russian revolution and the events which followed it. Pure Red-scare gold. Link (Thanks, karramarro!) [Boing Boing] 6:00:09 PM

I should probably probably point out that bonking has a meaning in cycling that is a little different from the commonly understood meaning. Maybe it would be more fun if I didn't point it out. But then would it make sense? After all, I for one have rarely had much trouble avoiding bonking... Bonking can be a serious problem when riding, particularly long distances. Learn to avoid this dangerous low blood sugar and ride without fear of passing out... [About Bicycling] 12:43:38 PM

Now this is very cool musical fusion! Jah DivisionDavid Pescovitz: Last week, Xeni posted about a throatsinger who covers heavy songs like "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by seminal postpunk act Joy Division. Now my sister-in-law Heather Sparks tells me about Jah Division, a Brooklyn dub consortium that plays stunning versions of Joy Division tunes. Link to "Dub Will Tear Us Apart" MP3, Link to minimal Jah Division page, Link to PUNKCAST #250 with a performance video from 2003 [Boing Boing] 11:40:15 AM
