From The Archives: Says the person who submitted this mid-50’s photo of a dog dressed up in people clothes holding a cat: “I hooked a coat hanger over his collar to form shoulders, and newspaper stuffed into his trousers.”
Before you judge, consider this: What else was there to do for fun in the 50’s?

Another Movie Trailer of the Day: Beauty Is Embarrassing is a feature-length documentary about noted American artist Wayne White that’s set to premiere at this year’s SXSW.
White, a jack of awesome trades, is known to most as the guy who designed the sets and puppets for Pee Wee’s Playhouse, but he also crafted the Georges Méliès-inspired Smashing Pumpkins music video for “Tonight, Tonight” and painted the cover art for Lambchop’s Nixon among many, many other things.
Needless to say, he’s a very interesting man.
No theatrical release date has yet been set.

This looks incredible. When I was in probably 3rd or 4th grade I had a Billy Baloney ventriloquist dummy (I was a huge Pee-wee fan) that I would bring in for show and tell. I’d sit up in front of the class and Billy would “take questions” which almost always would just lead to “him” just berating the audience. Usually my teacher would have to interject and cut the act short.
This is amazing. Apparently, in the UK you can set the TV to narrate all action if you’re blind (I’m guessing that’s the reason?) Here’s a choice clip of that popular American show about the nerds.Watch for the big surprise at the end! (This is like Braille for shitty TV!)
Ordinary people. The courage to say no.
The photo was taken in Hamburg in 1936, during the celebrations for the launch of a ship. In the crowd, one person refuses to raise his arm to give the Nazi salute. The man was August Landmesser. He had already been in trouble with the authorities, having been sentenced to two years hard labor for marrying a Jewish woman.
We know little else about August Landmesser, except that he had two children. By pure chance, one of his children recognized her father in this photo when it was published in a German newspaper in 1991. How proud she must have been in that moment.
