I always think of Canada as the lovechild of England and France after they had a drunken one night stand and England just left it to grow up with its big brother America who was like the rebel of the family.
What are Australia and New Zealand then?
Dorothea Lange: A Visual Life / VIDEO
Excerpts from the film, Dorothea Lange: A Visual Life. The film was produced and directed by Meg Partridge (1994) and is an engaging and penetrating look at a life devoted to photography, profiling the life and work of an artist who recorded some of the most evocative photographic images of the 20th century. Dorothea Lange’s artistic achievements and untiring investigations into the diversity of American life and culture are presented through interviews with her sons and assistants.
“The good photograph is not the object, the consequences of the photograph are the objects. So that no one would say, how did you do it, where did you find it, but they would say that such things could be.” (+)
TIME’s new cover makes me so mad I could write essays about it, but instead I’m going to keep job hunting since in today’s world a university degree means nothing and therefore like much of my generation, I’m stuck choosing between minimum wage jobs and internships that I can’t afford to accept in an attempt to pay off my tens of thousands of dollars worth of student debt.
I’d be interested in reading this article to see exactly what makes us entitled and lazy. Are we lazy because more of us are completing high school and going to college than ever before? Are we entitled because our standard of living is declining? Do we live with our parents because we’re too slothful to leave or is because our education costs are getting steeper and steeper while we’re getting less and less aid?
Tell us, Time Magazine, about how we’re narcissistic little slugs when we’re faced with an economic crisis that resulted in a lowering of our standard of living, an increase in tuition costs and how when we get out of our very expensive schools, more and more of us are going to end up working minimum wage jobs.
yep
Here, the internet fixed it for you:
thanks, internet!
Joel Stein, usually I love you, but seriously you can lick my anus for this cover.
Also, I’m not saving anybody and I super sick if being expected to. Anyone who expects anyone else to save them can fuck right off.legit
Oh, what a surprise. It seems every post-1945 generation is locked in some kind of blame game as to which is responsible for the shit we’re in or about to get into. It used to be Boomers vs Gen-X, Now it looks like Gen-X which is now in its 40s is ready to unleash its curmudgeon-ness on Millennials. The truth though is is that Gen-X is just as lazy as the kids. They just had fewer toys to play with. The greater truth though is that it all really started with the Boomers, but it’s really nobody’s fault. According to Robert D. Putnam’s “Bowling Alone,” Americans have been increasingly civically disengaged since the end of WWII, in part due to TV, the 60s and a whole bunch of other stuff. If you want to be civically engaged in real grassroots style, in our contemporary society, be conservative, be religious (or hang out with religious people) be over 50 and accept that you will never achieve the kind of collective accomplishments in the same kind of efficiency previous generations have.
Also, if Joel Stein wants us to save America or the world or whatever he should advocate the return of a civilian draft.

A Master Passes: Ray Harryhausen (1920-2013)
We mourn the passing of one of the true geniuses of fantastic cinema with the death of Ray Harryhausen. His brilliant achievements in stop-motion animation and visual effects brought to life creatures from history, mythology and imagination with an uncanny sense of detail which breathed vitality and character into them to fascinate and inspire viewers as well as many of the leading filmmakers of the present.
His first solo effort, THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS (1953), launched the international giant monster boom of the 1950s. His final film, CLASH OF THE TITANS (1981), had a cast full of stars and featured one of his most atmospheric scenes in the realization of the Gorgon, Medusa. In between are many excursions into worlds of wonder that will surely stand as testaments to this great artist so long as cinema lasts.
Click on the image to visit his official web site, and if you have not seen his work, you are in for an abundance of pleasure. Start with JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS (1963), with the iconic bronze giant Talos as well as the skeleton army which rises from the teeth of the slain Hydra, and then go on from there. You will be entranced!
Hail Harryhausen!

hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we’d discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i’ve been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women.
also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it’s obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don’t subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it.
anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don’t even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!!
Indeed. This is one of the many frustrations that disenchanted me from mainstream superhero comics (I must confess though that I was probably less conscious of this reason than I am now).
IMO the persistency of the boys club culture in mainstream comics is in someways more disgusting than supposed “sexism” that many critics accused Robert Crumb of celebrating. I’m sure his wife, Ailine Kominsky Crumb and Sophie Crumb, both also excellent cartoonists would agree.
Tim Hetherington remembered in film, News Report
On April 20, 2011, photojournalist Tim Hetherington was killed by mortar shells fired by Libyan forces while covering the 2011 Libyan civil war. May his soul rest in peace.
Two years after his death, Tim Hetherington is the subject of a new HBO documentary, Which Way is the Frontline From Here?, which sheds light on his motivations as a photojournalist and filmmaker, and his untimely death.
“I don’t really care about photography. I’m interested in engaging people with ideas and views of the world,” Tim Hetherington once said. This sentence has defined the journalist’s career and is now the focus of Which Way is the Frontline From Here? The Life and Time of Tim Hetherington, an HBO documentary directed by Sebastian Junger.
