This is a video from Thomas Edison’s motion picture studio of the first ever copyrighted film, The Blacksmith Shop, filmed by Edison’s assistant W.K.L. Dickson, and delivered to the Library of Congress for copyrighting in August of 1893. Granted it’s not a particularly exciting film, but historic nonetheless. Ah, August, 1893 — I remember it like it was yesterday. I was courting a lady but her family disapproved of our relationship. Mostly on account of my being an undead warlock and all.

This is a heartwarming video from The Dodo highlighting the life of Grace, who lives with eight rescue dachshunds. She even takes them all to a drive-through carwash where they have a little wiener rave in the car, complete with light show and glow necklaces. So, if you were wondering if these dogs are living more fulfilling lives than I am, the answer is by far. Still, I think all my ex-girlfriends would agree that as far as dogs go, having eight is at least eight too few. “Let’s move to the country and start a rescue dog farm!” — every girlfriend I’ve ever had. Is that a universal crazy woman dream?

New York City 1, a 1942 piece by famed abstract artist Piet Mondrian, was unknowingly hung upside down (left) at its initial public display in 1945 (Mondrian died in 1944), and has been rehung the same way ever since. Well that’s embarrassing. Get it together, art nerds, those art history degrees of yours have failed us!

Indicators suggesting an incorrect hanging are multifold. The similarly named and same-sized oil painting, New York City, which is on display in Paris at the Centre Pompidou, has the thickening of lines at the top.

A photograph of Mondrian’s studio, taken a few days after the artist’s death and published in American lifestyle magazine Town and Country in June 1944, also shows the same picture sitting on an easel the other way up.

Because the piece consists of pieces of colored tape “already hanging on by a thread,” the piece will remain hanging the way it is (read: incorrectly) to prevent gravity from pulling the tape in the opposite direction and damaging the piece. What a scandal. *yawn* Now if you could just point me in the direction of the tasteful nudes gallery, I could really use a pick me up.

This is another compilation video created by Trekkie John DiMarco (previously), this time featuring Star Trek clips that include the phrase “Klingons do not…” and variations thereof. Apparently Klingons don’t actually do a lot of things. I suppose that makes me more Klingon than I’d previously thought, because I hardly do anything. Take my whole life for example.

Because driving in reverse is easy if you don’t care what you hit, this is a 60-second documentary (almost 3X the attention span of a normal human) highlighting the record breaking work of Scott Burner (great name), who holds the record for fastest mile in reverse, with a time of 1 minute 15.18 seconds driving a late-model Corvette. The fastest he’s ever driven in reverse is 56MPH. For reference, I don’t feel safe at speeds over 50MPH even going forwards. I’m surprised cars can even go that fast in reverse. I feel like there’s no need. I mean except for setting records like this, which again, absolutely no need.

Keep going for this video, as well as a clip from Scott’s record breaking reverse run.

These are several videos of tinkerer Kyle Krueger demonstrating the $679 Imalent MS18 LEF flashlight, the world’s brightest LED flashlight. The 100,000 lumen light has a reach of 1,350-meters and is definitely not a toy, although I would certainly still treat it like one. In the videos, Kyle shines the light from the highest hotel room he could book, and it lights up the entire block below. Then he compares its brightness to a Tesla’s headlights. I mean if you could even call it a comparison, because the difference is night and day. That thing is BRIGHT. Me? I’m not so bright. My dad used to say I was so bright he calls me sun, but recently had to explain it’s a pun after he saw me including it on job resumes.

Keep going for the videos, in the last of which he uses it to light up a glow-in-the-dark AirPods case.
