Jump Rope
Jumping rope only makes sense to us humans because we've never broken it down to its elemental components. This comic is from Nathan Pyle's Strange Planet.
Tyranny
Mel Brooks said, “Tragedy is when I stub my toe. Comedy is when you fall into an open manhole and die.” Everything is relative, but sometimes you gotta sit back and see the big picture. George Takei said he didn't see this much whining in the internment camp during World War II.

The Hamilton Polka
Two years ago, Weird Al Yankovic released his "Hamilton Polka." Now the song has a video, made from the relevant clips in the Hamilton movie now streaming on Disney+! Of course, the speed had to be altered to keep up the accordion's polka beat. And before you ask, Yankovic always gets permission. He even asks permission when it isn't required. (via reddit)
How Well Do Masks Work?
The miracle of Schlieren imaging makes it clear how much comes from your nose and mouth, and how far it can travel when you don't wear a mask -or wear a mask under your nose. And if this isn't enough to make you care about infecting people around you, it may be enough to make you avoid other people who aren't wearing masks. (via Metafilter)
Frankenstein Screen Test
This full makeup test footage -in color!- from the 1939 production of Son of Frankenstein sees Boris Karloff goofing around as you've never seen him before. (via Boing Boing)
We Care
This appears to be the distilled version of a much longer scenario taking place at so many companies. It's from Jeff Lofvers at Don't Hit Save.
Retelling The Empire Strikes Back from Memory
Liam introduced his girlfriend Jessie to Star Wars and shared her recap with us. Then they went on to the next movie, The Empire Strikes Back. Months later, she retells what she recalls from the story. While the details are funny, her memory of the plot and storytelling sequence is amazing. I couldn't retell scenes with that much detail of a movie I'd seen yesterday, much less months later. There must have been quite a bit of discussion during the movie-watching; otherwise, how would she ever retain the name Bossk? They've also now seen Return of the Jedi together, so expect an animated recap of that one in a few months. (via Digg)
