Teenage girl shot in head by Taliban in response to campaign for women’s right to education

In Pakistan, a 14 year-old girl, Malala Yousafzai, was shot in the head by Taliban militants in response to her promotion of secularism, the BBC reports.

The girl, who with her father have promoted the education of girls and women in Afghanistan, wrote a diary for the BBC in 2009 when she was 11.

Star Wars made cool again

So, if you’ve been hiding under a rock, you’ve probably not seen the amazing star wars anime clip made by OtaKing77077 that was recently posted on Youtube.  When I was a teenager, I couldn’t get enough of Star Wars, reading the tonnes of crappy novels that were pumped out and I played great games like Tie Fighter, but after the release of the Star Wars I film, it died for me. Maybe I grew up, or it regressed and became harder to keep in touch with, but nonetheless, the boy romance was over… until a week or so ago.  This anime clip is so cool that I’m a little excited by the Star Wars universe again, as long as it is far out of reach of a certain director.
