| Woman Finds Tiger Cub, Takes It to Shelter Like It’s No Big Deal Posted: 04 Sep 2015 09:35 AM PDT A tiger cub found while it took a neighborhood jaunt in California on Thursday is now in the custody of an animal shelter after a woman turned in the three-month-old wild animal. The tiger was discovered in the Inland Empire area east of Los Angeles, where a woman found the cub and brought it to her to a local humane society. The tiger was then transported 70 miles north to the Forever Wild Exotic Animal Sanctuary, CBS Los Angeles reports. Though little for a tiger, it would be hard to mistake the predator for a stray house cat; the orange and black animal is two feet long, and its growls in a video from the humane society were decidedly un-meow-like. Tigers are not native to Southern California. It remains unclear how a local woman detained the wild animal, and why there was a why there was a loose tiger roaming the metropolitan region in the first place. [CBS LA]  |
| Andrew Garfield Might Have Once Served You a Latte at Starbucks Posted: 04 Sep 2015 08:45 AM PDT A long time ago, in a city far, far away, Andrew Garfield may have made your double tall skinny half-caf latte. The 99 Homes star stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday to talk about his new thriller, debut a new long hairdo and, because this is Hollywood, swap a few grooming tips (conditioner is a must, apparently) before Kimmel asked him about being a struggling young actor. That’s when Garfield admitted that like many other actors, he moonlighted at Starbucks to pay the bills. At first he was pretty excited about the job. “I thought that’s the John Hughes movie I’ve been waiting to live within,” said the actor, envisioning spending his days caffeinating the “girls reading literature with black rimmed glasses” who loitered around the Golders Green outpost. “I’m going to be the barista that woos them all and wins them all,” he recounted to Kimmel. “Or they realize after a period of months that in fact, the skinny guy is the guy to go with.” Strangely it did not work out exactly like that for him.  |
| Watch Little Girls Give Grown Men Advice About Texting Women Posted: 04 Sep 2015 08:33 AM PDT In a video produced by Cosmopolitan.com, adult men sit on a couch and ask young girls for advice on what to text adult women. Advice ranges from potential buzzkills like “I love you” to “tell her she’s pretty!” or compliment the girl’s hair. By watching little kids give basic advice, viewers are presumably supposed to learn that everyone is overthinking text messages and that people should just say when they feel whenever they want. Kids just tell it like it is, and maybe more men and women who are dating should embrace their inner child.  |
| Watch a Young Angelina Jolie Show Off Her Skills in an Acting Class Posted: 04 Sep 2015 07:55 AM PDT Every once in a while, a video will come out of nowhere to remind us that Hollywood’s A-list actors all had to start somewhere. Take, for instance, this recently unearthed clip which purportedly shows a 25-year-old Angelina Jolie honing her craft in an acting class. She shows off a wide range of emotions — not to mention super creepy faces — and the result is quite haunting. As Vulture points out, soon after this footage was supposedly taped, Jolie would win an Oscar for Girl, Interrupted. Read next: 11 Audition Tapes That Made Now-Famous Actors’ Careers  |
| See the Look on This Baby’s Face as He Begins to Comprehend His Existence Posted: 04 Sep 2015 07:46 AM PDT The host of National Geographic’s show Brain Games, Jason Silva, has shared a video on his YouTube channel “Shots of Awe” in which he filmed himself explaining to a baby where the youngster came from using some really intense metaphors. For example, he explains, “somehow a piece of software melded together, fused, and then started to turn itself into a living, breathing, like a steak with a brain. You’re meat that grew up inside your mother…You’re transcendent!” Doesn’t seem like grade schools will invite this man to lecture about how babies are made in health classes anytime soon. But that doesn’t stop this little guy from having his mind totally blown.  |
| Your Cat Doesn’t Need You, Study Finds Posted: 04 Sep 2015 07:36 AM PDT Your cat doesn’t really need you, new study suggests. According to a new study published in PLOS One journal, cats show little to no separation anxiety when they’re away from their owners and if/when they decide to stick around their human, it’s because they really want to. Researchers studied the behavior of 20 cats after being placed in an unfamiliar location with their owner and with a stranger. The results suggest that our feline friends show little to no signs of distress when left alone in strange environments. “Although our cats were more vocal when the owner rather than the stranger left them with the other individual, we didn’t see any additional evidence to suggest that the bond between a cat and its owner is one of secure attachment,” researcher Daniel Mills, professor of Veterinary Behavioural Medicine at the University of Lincoln’s School of Life Sciences, told the Telegraph. Animal experts, however, say that this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Cats don’t need humans to feel safe, and if they’re unhappy they have no qualms with walking out and not looking back. Therefore, when they feel comfortable enough to stay, they really mean it. The study, too, is small and highly interpretative. Cats display distress and emotion in a variety of different ways — so perhaps your cat is different.  |
| 14 Inspiring Life Lessons From Louis C.K. Posted: 04 Sep 2015 07:19 AM PDT Louis C.K. is doing well these days. Thanks to the success of Louie, along with his numerous stand-up specials, he’s just about everyone’s favorite comic, with the exception of people who are wrong. Getting to the top of the comedy food chain wasn’t easy, though. Louis C.K. had to work for years in dingy clubs and pour a ton of effort into unsuccessful projects before achieving this level of success. And along the way, he built up a stockpile of wisdom worth paying attention to. Here are some of his best quotes about the importance of hard work, the way your attitude shapes life, and how to not take yourself so seriously.

| Celebrate Redhead Day With These Vintage Photos of Red-Haired Celebrities Posted: 04 Sep 2015 04:30 AM PDT “You’d find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair,” Anne of Green Gables famously remarked. “People who haven’t red hair don’t know what trouble is.” From Lucy Maud Montgomery’s fictional orphan to Mark Twain, much has been said about the personality traits allegedly linked to a fiery mane. The only people who truly know what it’s like to have red hair, of course, are those who have it, and this weekend, throngs of them will descend on Breda in the Netherlands for Redhead Days (Roodharigen in Dutch). Here, in celebration of this annual convention, is a collection of portraits of famous redheads from the LIFE Magazine archives. For some of them, their card-carrying membership in the redhead club is sometimes questioned—is Robert Redford’s hair red or sandy blonde?—while others, like Lucille Ball, would be excluded from Redhead Days for being converts, rather than natural-born entrants, into the cult of red. Still, hair dye or not, their legacies will forever burn red. Liz Ronk, who edited this gallery, is the Photo Editor for LIFE.com. Follow her on Twitter @lizabethronk.  |
| Japan Creates Google Street View Just for Cats Posted: 04 Sep 2015 12:58 AM PDT Google’s most popular mapping features is now available for everyone’s favorite furry felines. Hiroshima’s tourism board reportedly created a Street View mapping application that’s positioned at the height of a cat, as reported by Vox and the Wall Street Journal. The feature currently works for the city of Onimochi, allowing users to see the world through a cat’s eyes and explore restaurants and shops in the area. “We were seeking to introduce a different way to look at our cities and offer a view of the streets that wasn’t available before,” a Hiroshima tourism official said in an interview with the Journal. Per the publication:

| How Labor Day Was Celebrated When Unions Were on the Rise Posted: 03 Sep 2015 11:00 PM PDT Like many national holidays, Labor Day has taken on many connotations—the unofficial end of summer, the last acceptable day of the year to wear white pants—that are far from its original meaning. When the first nationally recognized Labor Day was celebrated in 1894, the day consisted of a street parade sending up a message of “the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations,” in the words of the official magazine of the American Federation of Labor, followed by a festival for workers and their families. The decision to send LIFE photographer William Vandivert to Detroit for Labor Day in 1938 can only have been an obvious one. The automobile industry was full steam ahead, the city’s population soaring thanks to an influx of ready workers. The United Auto Workers was formed there in 1935. In the early months of 1937, a sit-down strike at the General Motors factory in nearby Flint won recognition of that union as a bargaining agent for autoworkers there, inspiring many similar strikes across the country. Vandivert’s images capture the dignity of the workers, waving UAW flags alongside the American flag, their union pride elevated to the level of patriotism. He photographed not only autoworkers, but also bakers and butchers, and women and children offering support from the sidelines. The spirit of the day is unmistakable: brotherhood with one’s local chapter members, solidarity with any man—if any women’s unions were in Detroit that day, Vandivert’s lens didn’t find them—who called himself a worker.
