- Here are some Pussy Riot Russian Nesting Dolls, because, well, they’re awesome. And also because there’s no real Pussy Riot news to report until their verdict is announced on August 17. (Dangerous Minds via Flavorwire)
- The FBI has classified Insane Clown Posse’s fans, aka the Juggalos, as a dangerous gang. Insane Clown Posse begs to differ. Anyone dressed as a clown scares the bejeezus out of me, so I’m actually going to have to throw my support behind the FBI on this one. (Arts Beat)
- You might want to take a quick look at this rather comprehensive who’s who of the very, very last of the big summer markdowns. (SheFinds)
- England’s super-affordable high street chain River Island might be making its way to our shores. (The Telegraph)
- Nine Nobel Peace Laureates have called upon NBC to cancel Stars Earn Stripes, a reality show that’s both so risible and offensive that it’s tough to believe it’s for real. Like literally—you think you’re watching a Funny or Die video that didn’t quite come off. (Deadline Hollywood)

Dude. River Island crossing the pond???? And not only is it rumored – it’s RUMOURED – so it must be true. I. Can’t. WAIT!
So, re Pussy Riot, there is an Amnesty page where you can send an email:
http://takeaction.amnestyusa.org/siteapps/advocacy/ActionItem.aspx?c=6oJCLQPAJiJUG&b=6645049&aid=517749
I think emails are too easily ignored though. I will try to find out the address, and whether there is even enough time for real mail to get there. I think the verdict is coming soon.
Yeah, it looks like the verdict will come Friday.
But unless they get released, I think letters could still help. We’ll see I guess.
