Picture Dept: Drama, Manipulation and Truth: Keeping Photojournalism Useful:

Paul Hansen’s photograph that recently won the World Press Photo award as the picture of the year was apparently modified to increase its drama, a technique to make colors more vivid and saturated that seems to be becoming more widespread in photojournalistic circles. As such, it remains…

whoneedsfeminism:

I need feminism because I want to play as a female character that looks respectable in an online game, and not one that objectifies a woman.

We need more games that respect a woman’s beauty and integrity. I should not have to substitute playing as male characters just to avoid looking at scantily clothed female characters.

pickled-johnlock:

what do you say when someone asks what you’re doing and you’re reading homosexual fanfiction based off of a book written 150 years ago

Tell them you’re reading a transformative work based on late Victorian literature that questions traditional views of gender and sexuality.

That was fucking beautiful

When the children first meet Count Olaf and Jim Carrey says, “Wait, give me the line again,” was not actually in the script, it was Carrey staying in character and wanting to try it again, but they kept the cameras rolling and felt it worked the way it happened.

facts-i-just-made-up:

One of the most astounding mysteries of the world is this ancient tile pattern in Greece, dated to about 1,500 B.C.

It was little more than a curiosity until 2008 when its resemblance to a QR Code was recognized. First photographed in 1871 by the British Antiquities Society, they were known as the “Chinese Box Tiles” owing to the closest thing anyone had seen to the strange pattern. Little was known about the titles except that they were installed along with other beachfront roads on the isle of Igrigoria in ancient times.

In was in 2008 that QR codes became popular enough that a traveler recognized the tiles as bearing an unmistakable resemblance to the computer code which had only been developed 3,500 years after the tiles were first laid. It was another two years before anyone with a QR capable phone traveled to the island to attempt a capture.

The mystery only deepened when the phone was able to recognize the code, which lead to the original Nyan Cat video on youtube.

Fucking Greeks.

Fucking Greeks? You mean it was THE MOTHER FUCKING DOCTOR
