"Situation" is a single by the British synth-pop band Yazoo from 1982. Released in the UK as the B-side of Yazoo's debut single "Only You," it peaked at number two on the UK singles chart. It was released as a single in North America, reaching number 73 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and peaking in the top 40 on the Canadian chart, reaching number 31. In late summer 1982, it became Yazoo's first song to top the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, holding the number one position for four weeks. The song also topped the Black Singles chart, reaching number 31.

No se a quien le ocurrió degradar y llamarle “cerros” a tremendas montañas que rodean a la ciudad de Monterrey Algo que nos pondría en el Mapa, algo tan fotogénico y turístico, decidieron simplemente minimizarlo llamándolos “cerros”.

A very shy maned wolf stopping for a visit at a monastery in Brazil for a bite to eat provided by monks. Because of their super long legs, they walk more like giraffes than typical canines. Maned wolves pose no threat to humans 🦊🥺

By 1982, Ridley Scott had already made Alien and Blade Runner, so naturally the only music video he ever directed looked absolutely gorgeous. Avalon feels less like a music video and more like a forgotten dream drifting through the early 80s.

That bag has a name. It's a bindle. And in the 1930s, about 250,000 American teenagers actually packed one and walked out the door to ride freight trains, looking for work after the crash wiped out their families' savings. They were called boxcar boys and girls. Many were just 16 or 17. They left because there was no food at home, or because they didn't want to be another mouth their parents couldn't feed. One boy left home with the 72 cents his mother pulled from her purse, the last of her money. About 4 million Americans were on the road in those years. The cartoon image we know traces back to two artists. Charlie Chaplin's Tramp character, the little guy in baggy pants with a stick, debuted in 1914. He became a global icon. Walt Disney later said Chaplin was one of the inspirations for Mickey Mouse. Then in 1958, Norman Rockwell painted a runaway boy carrying a bindle for the Saturday Evening Post cover. That picture is the one that stuck in our heads. The actual life behind the bag was hard. People who lived it called themselves hobos, and they were strict about the word. A hobo was a worker who traveled. A tramp only worked when he had to. A bum didn't work at all. Hobos hated being mixed up with the other two. They followed the harvests. Strawberries in spring, hops in summer, apples in fall, potatoes in winter. Pay was a few dollars a day, sometimes less. Riding freight trains was illegal and could kill you. Railroad police, who they called bulls, beat them off the cars. You could slip and get crushed between cars. Or freeze to death sleeping in a boxcar in winter. A British poet named W.H. Davies, who wrote a memoir called The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp, lost his foot trying to jump onto a moving train. So they built their own world. Their camps near rail yards were called jungles. They shared a stew called Mulligan, where everyone threw in a potato, or a piece of meat, or whatever they had. They left messages for each other on water tanks: a nickname, a date, and the direction they were heading, so the next person passing through could see who had been there. They had a phrase for someone who died on the road. He caught the Westbound. In 1900, a town in Iowa called Britt, with about 2,000 people, decided to host them. Every August since, hobos and rail riders show up to crown a Hobo King and Queen, with crowns made from coffee cans. The convention is still running. There's a Hobo Memorial Cemetery in Britt for the ones who caught the Westbound. The cartoon turned it into a childhood dream. For a quarter-million American kids in the 1930s, it was just the bag you grabbed before walking out the door.

This amazing choreography invented in 1969! I think it's very progressive for those years, beautiful!

“Venus” was the hit song from 1969 by Shocking Blue that gave us the unforgettable hook “I’m your Venus, I’m your fire, at your desire.” 🔥 Then Bananarama revived it in 1986 and it hit #1 all over again. 💃🎶🔥

An 18-year-old Japanese classical guitarist, Haruna Miyagawa, performs Niccolò Paganini’s Caprice No. 24, a technically demanding violin piece arranged for guitar, highlighting its sequence of variations and arpeggios in a contemporary concert hall setting.

Classic Hollywood dancer Vera-Ellen in the 1945 film "Wonder Man." She demonstrated a precise touch technique called "neural touch," which she became famous for because no one could replicate it, and neither could two people do it on screen. It became her unique signature. Composed of rapid touch speed supported by quick head-to-foot movements due to her leg rigidity, making the entire action feel forced from the feet, this makes us think: she famously never sits on set, or anywhere else, with her legs raised in a blood-red, pain-filled manner. By reducing the distance between the floor and her feet – keeping them close to the ground – it shortens her movement time. The meaning is that multiple touches are guaranteed per second. Essentially, it turns her into a "machine gun" who makes precise hits.💃🕺💖

@CepnikMaciej ¿Si te suena Animas Trujano?

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page. It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection. Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do. Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades. The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water. It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left. The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero. When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.

Entre las tonterías que sí me molestan y nunca dejarán de molestarme es que siempre quieran representar a México con música de banda cuando a la inmensa mayoría de mexicanos NO NOS GUSTA.

ahh to be a fat bear floating down a river

30 years have passed by… and this song is still an absolute belter.

✊🏽 30 years ago today: RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE performed "Bulls on Parade" on 'Saturday Night Live' and were banned from playing the show ever again.⁠

¿Alguien de esta gran sala de gente ha ido a ver teatro de terror? 👀 Yo nunca, y quiero saber su experiencia.

In some areas of Japan, they put up special signs that warn that cats may suddenly pop up here. And this is what the signs look like.

🔥🚨HARD NEWS: Here is lost footage of Donald Trump’s 2004 SNl Sketch titled “Donald Trump’s House of Wings.” This sketch is still missing from all SNL DVDs and streams.

En 2003, un equipo de cine alemán que filmaba en el desierto del Gobi documentó algo inesperado. Una camella había rechazado a su cría tras un parto de dos días, así que una familia nómada recurrió al antiguo ritual Hoos, una ceremonia de canto transmitida durante siglos. Tras el ritual, la camella derramó lágrimas y aceptó a su cría. Aquella escena terminó formando parte de The Story of the Weeping Camel, una película que acabaría nominada al Oscar.
