    The Australian women’s breakdancing contestant performed an absolutely inexplicable routine with no breakdancing in it and just a bunch of random body movements and extreme weirdness. Her official explanation is that she knew she couldn’t compete with the younger, more athletic contestants (she’s like 40) so she decided to compete with creativity, but I’m sure there’s something else going on. My theory is that she had something like a panic attack and was basically out of her head and got all these weird ideas and had a freak out.

















  • Carlin’s podcast (and a lot of popular history podcasts) are generally considered fairly poor by academic historians, in regard to accurately portraying modern historical research. I think those kinds of podcasts are good to engage and stimulate interest in history, as long as the listener understands that they are a kind of “pop” history and should be taken with a grain of salt.

    Same goes for a lot of popular books, like Sapiens.
