According to Curbed, the house in Boulder City, Nevada, dates back to the early 1960s, with the original concept designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. However, the design was modified to fit the lot
by Harry Thompson, who was a student of Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1950s. There was another twist too. The original buyer went bankrupt, so effectively never lived in it, instead passing on the house to the second owner.
This 1963 build covers around 195m2 and comes with some of its original dramatic features still intact. The exterior is obviously one such feature of course, as well as the wonderful main living area with its wood-panelled ceilings and oversized rose quartz fireplace and high angled ceiling. $450,000 is the asking price — via WowHaus

Have you noticed in the last few years that you don’t see colourful cars much any more? If you’re looking for your car in a parking lot, or you’re in heavy traffic, all the cars around you are silver or white, with a few black outliers. Look at any car dealership, you’ll see it full of silver and white cars, with one of two red ones for contrast. What happened to the colours?
Classic car owners are having none of that. This picture of 76 Dodge Challengers was organised at a meeting of the Peach State Challengers. You can see that a few drivers in the back showed up a few minutes late (or more likely, they didn’t want the end of the line to be white), but the overall effect is glorious. Doesn’t anyone in Georgia want to drive a yellow Challenger? — via Neatorama

During the People Purges of 1974 and 1975, the many people who peopled Scarfolk were alarmed to learn that they were now the kinds of people that the government categorised as people
.
With no clear definition of what the state meant by people
, the mayor, who had previously declared himself a man of the people, tried to alleviate anxiety among his people by saying he didn’t want to drive a wedge between people; he only intended to arrest those kinds of people who he deemed not to be people people
.
He said that he of all people knew that the most effective way to crack down on these people was with people power
: People working together to observe people, being able to tell people apart and then reporting those people to the appropriate people in authority.
On the 13 August 1975, the only people not in prison were six government officials, members of Scarfolk police force and a man called Dennis Peoples who suffered from a rare psychiatric syndrome called Clinical Lycanthropy which led him to believe he was a puffer fish — via Scarfolk Council
