| A Mime’s Silent Resistance Against Nazi Forces Posted: 31 Jul 2018 12:00 PM PDT The most famous mime ever was Marcel Marceau. Let's face it, he's the only mime you know by name. But the French performer had more on his resume than his stage act. During World War II, Marceau harnessed his acting talent to aid the French Resistance. Great Big Story lets us in on a bit of Marceau's wartime activities. (via Laughing Squid)  |

| Posted: 31 Jul 2018 06:00 AM PDT In 1949, Hong Kong was a British colony, China was a newly communist nation, and all of Asia was recovering from World War II. Two million inhabitants were trying to accommodate floods of refugees from the mainland. Michael Rogge visited Hong Kong as a young man and took 16mm home movies of what he saw. He added commentary 60 years later. There are plenty more of these vintage personal movies at his YouTube channel. (via Digg)  |

| Posted: 31 Jul 2018 12:00 AM PDT We have a new animated music video from DoodleChaos, who brought us a Line Rider version of the classic Hall of the Mountain King and a Rube Goldberg version of Waltz of the Flowers. This time, he's got two (and sometimes three) riders on sleds illustrating Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite. Not only is it clever, it might cool you off a bit to hear a song that's traditionally associated with Christmastime. (via Metafilter)  |

| Posted: 30 Jul 2018 06:00 PM PDT We might not realize how much of our pop culture stories involve taking women against their will. It's often dressed up as romance. It's an "old, a deeply troubling media convention." It's an outgrowth of the idea that women are passive participants in relationships, and the best ones are too virtuous to seek out sex, but men know best who belongs with who. We can be better than this. (via Boing Boing)  |
