Depression Part 2 by Hyperbole and a Half is the most important thing you’ll read all day.

I particularly like the dead fish part.

azvolrien:

Arthur’s Seat looks bigger the further you are from it. This is never going to make sense.

It’s the same with Mt Baker. Looks positively massive from Nanaimo, just a big hill from Abbotsford. (can’t even find any photos to illustrate the latter’s point because it’s so unimpressive.) I think it’s a matter of angular perspective (a term I just made up) – looking levelly at something rising perpendicular to the ground plane, vs looking up the shoulder of it, which foreshortens it.

I don’t know if I’m making any sense.

100 years ago today, May 21st 1913: the front page of The Daily Mirror, showing the cairn that the rescue party built over the collapsed tent containing the bodies of Scott, Wilson and Bowers.

“The most wonderful monument in the world: Captain Scott’s sepulchre erected amid Antarctic wastes.”

tonycliff:

Civilized London - The last (and maybe my favourite) of three new Delilah Dirk images inspired by vintage travel posters.

I’ll have prints of these three posters and more with me at this weekend’s Vancouver Comic Arts Festival (May 25 - 26 2013, at the Yaletown Roundhouse). One million more details can be found here: VanCAF!

Many thanks to everyone who’s shared these posters around the internets over the past few weeks!

Previously: Verdant England and Portugal Walking Tours.

Humans are damnably adaptable as well, and as a species we’ve survived pretty dramatic upheavals already. We’ve just had a population explosion, and anyone who knows anything about nature knows what happens when populations spike …

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, I CHECKED AND THIS IS NOT A DRILL

I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

i know there’s enough bloggers out there

hell sign twice using different emails.

listen up, yahoo:

come on guys!

You know, when a giant wealthy established tech company offers to pay enough for a popular little start-up that its owners could conceivably never have to work again, I don’t think any number, even five million, of that startup’s non-paying users are going to change anyone’s mind.

But I’d really like to be proved wrong.

If this were a boyband I might actually become interested in boybands, to an extremely limited degree.

“Commander Vimes didn’t like the phrase ‘The innocent have nothing to fear’, believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like ‘The innocent have nothing to fear’.”

- Terry Pratchett, Snuff (via bibliophilemartini)

I do believe this has come up in a previous book (don’t remember which one, Small Gods or Night Watch or anything in between), something along the lines of

Nothing strikes fear in to the hearts of innocents like being told they have nothing to fear.
