In 1961, the CIA tried to kill Castro by redirecting a road he used regularly into a solid stone wall onto which they’d painted a picture of a tunnel. This failed when Castro’s car proceeded straight on through the tunnel unhindered.

This is pure art.

For those curious, this was taken at the Oceti Sakowin camp during the No DAPL protests in Cannon Ball, North Dakota. The photograph is titled "Defend the Sacred" by Ryan Vizzions. I did not find the name of the subject on horseback.

there’s just something better about sitting on the kitchen counter I can’t explain it

Reblogging this version cuz those two gifs show the sexiest duality a man can have.

My favorite thing is that Europe is spooky because it’s old and America is spooky because it’s big

“The difference between America and England is that Americans think 100 years is a long time, while the English think 100 miles is a long way.” –Earle Hitchner

English people trying to travel around Australia and wildly underestimating distance are my favourite thing

China is both old and big. I had some Chinese colleagues over; we were discussing whether they wanted to see the Vasa ship (hugely expensive war ship which sank on it’s maiden voyage after 12 min). They asked if it was old, I said “not THAT old” (bearing in mind they were Chinese) “it’s from the 1500s.” To my surprise they still looked impressed, nodding enthusiatically. Then I realised I’d forgotten something: “…I mean it’s from the 1500s AFTER the birth of Christ” and they went “oh, AFTER…”.

My dad’s favorite quote from various tours in Italy was “Pay no attention to the tower – it was a [scornful tone] tenth century addition.”

My last boss was Chinese, and she said when her parents came to visit her from Beijing they pronounced Chicago “A very nice village.” 

This post keeps getting better

What I’m getting from this is both distance and time are Utterly Terrifying
