THE BOOKS OF "AMONG OTHERS." I've read maybe 28 of these, but my real interest is in the changing--often sublimely weird--conventions for sci-fi pulp paperback covers. Via Jesse Walker.

"FORGET YOUR PAST." Via Ratty.

MOVIES FROM AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE. Some of these are very fun. Via Flavorwire.

25 ABANDONED YUGOSLAVIA MONUMENTS THAT LOOK LIKE THEY'RE FROM THE FUTURE. I can't believe I already have the perfect tag for this.

"I LOVE THE '30S": This is amazing. So far the Monopoly episode is my favorite, but the Hindenberg one is also epic, and really, all of them have been hilarious. (If you just let this link run it will play all the videos. They're all about three minutes long.)

EDUCATION IN REVERSE: If you were in high school when I was in high school (i.e. exactly in between these two videos), it's really weird to compare the Golden Age, Sunrise on Pluto retro-futurism of this 1982 B-52s video with its dystopian/utopian retro-retro-futurist 2007 successor. I really like both of them, but the similar tropes and production values make the mood dissonance impossible to ignore.
