What? DARWIN is evolving!

I just gotta say... This is pretty intelligent design.

Clinton Cards

At least Clinton Cards now caters to the more Oedipal members of society.

Photograph of the interior of a card shop, racks of greetings cards. Signs demarcating thematic groups of cards read "wife", "mum", "auntie", "sister daughter".

Seeing the full picture?

Window smashed during 2010 student protests in London. Image "courtesy" of BBC.

I can’t help seeing this image like this — a lone protestor doing something crazy and anarchistic surrounded by a semicircle of a hundred professional cameras — and wondering if this is anything like good journalism. Sure, this event happened. But it sure looks like a stunt for the cameras, rather than an organic protest event. Would this have happened were the cameras not there to see it?

Circus

Oh, man.

See what I mean? This is just gross... And you know what? All but one (which one? lol.) cropped out the encircling press photographers. What a fucking circus.

Slogans

Trying to decide which slogans are best for my sinister anti-Trump/May placards.

Placards showing stencil-style portaits of Theresa May and Donald Trump, in process of being made. A few slogans around on bits of paper "KICK HIM", "NO PASARÁN", "RACIST", etc.

Cool Faith

Looking through a turn-of-the-century almanac of graphic design, I came across this absolute gem:

A 2000s-era logo with a winking, balding pastor with reading glasses giving the thumbs up. The name is "Cool Faith: Christian Apparel"

"Culture"

Screenshot of the headline of an article by Julia Alexander in some oneline magazine: "McDonald's to ship 20M Szechuan sauce packets this month". It is in the "culture" section.

Endeavor over LA

A shuttle riding on a jet plane, escorted by fighters, flies low over a Los Angeles street

I absolutely love this photo of space shuttle Endeavor, low over an LA city street. Yep, even though it looks like an exquisite Simon Stålenhag painting of an alternative 1970s America, this is actually a real event.
