During World War II, the US Army deployed a “tactical deception unit” to Europe. The 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, aka the “Ghost Army,” consisted of artists, ad directors, actors, and other creative folks who used inflatable tanks, sound effects trucks, and good ol’ fashioned bullshit to trick the German forces. It included the likes of fashion designer Bill Blass, fine artist Elsworth Kelly, and photographer Art Kane. A documentary about the Ghost Army, directed by Rick Beyer, aired last month on PBS. You can watch it for free right here! The Ghost Army

Disney animator Heidi Gilbert recently put together this original animatic based on the Wicked musical in an attempt to see about having it done as an animated movie.

“What kind of Asian are you?”

Bless this.

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve had this conversation. “Whoa, you look Indian.” Or “You look Native American” Etcetc. “Where are you from?”  ”American, I’m AMERICAN.” “No I mean where are your parents from??What’s your nationality?” “Mexican >->, there, you happy?” And yes I’ve had people go on about Mexican food etc etc.Not that I’m ashamed of my heritage, but I hate when people do this. >->

With deference to the genius of David Bowie, here’s Space Oddity, recorded on Station. A last glimpse of the World.

Huge thanks in the making of the video to the talented trio of Emm Gryner, Joe Corcoran and Andrew Tidby, plus Evan Hadfield and all at the CSA.

Perfect. I’m sure not even Bowie dreamed this song would ever be performed this way.

^.^ XD PERFECT

My dash made a funny <3

I went to church with my family tonight and the pastor said something that I think every Christian should hear

  • Pastor: Now, according to a few passages in the bible, homosexuality is a sin.
  • Couple of older males in the audience: Amen!
  • Pastor: Now, wait, I'm not finished.
  • Pastor: You know what else the bible defines as a sin? Divorce.
  • -uncomfortable silence-
  • Pastor: There are countless passages that talk about how divorce is wrong, and that there are consequences to getting a divorce, such as the wife should be stoned.
  • Pastor: Yet, I witnessed a divorce just this morning. And I gotta tell you, it was heartbreaking, but I definitely didn't attempt to throw rocks at the wife, even though she was the one who filed for divorce.
  • Pastor: We choose to overlook the consequences of divorce because time has proven that they're inhumane and cruel.
  • Pastor: The bible doesn't say anything about the consequences of a homosexual lifestyle. Yet, we seem to be spearheading a campaign to ruin the lives of people we don't even know.
  • -the pastor shifts a few notes around-
  • Pastor: The bible states to love thy neighbor. That's it. There are no other rules or restrictions to that passage.
  • Pastor: So, we as a church family have to support equality with a smile on our face. THAT is the true Christian way.
