Dear Temple of Transition [Burning Man 2011] by Ian MacKenzie *Watch full-screen with sound up!* Dear Temple of Transition: I love you. You are the most beautiful human-shaped structure I have ever seen. It was an honour to serve you as a Temple Guardian. And when it came time for you to go, I couldn’t watch you burn.

This 1933 Czech film turned largely unknown actress Heddy Lamarr into a sensation. Not only was the gorgeous Heddy naked but writhing in ecstasy, hence the title. The movie’s love scene (for those who don’t want to watch the film all the way through, and...

1890:The Wounded Knee Massacre. The holy man, Black Elk, said, “I did not know then how much was ended. When I look back now from this high hill of my old age, I can still see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch as plain as when I saw them with eyes still young.
