Summer in Staten Island in the 1980s – in pictures

Staten Island in the 1980s was working class and with a small-town feel. Photographer Christine Osinski, now a professor at The Cooper Union School of Art, captures the character of the ‘forgotten borough’ over the summers of 1983 and 1984 after moving there – kids on bikes, suburban homes and empty streets. Her rediscovered pictures are collected in a new book, Summer Days Staten Island, published by Damiani.

Women Being Spanked In Vintage Comic Books

I’m back with another spanking post – and this one I kind of found interesting. Spanking in comics is actually a rather fascinating phenomena. Why? Because, once upon a time, it was all over the freaking place! The number of times you find a good spank in a comic book is something approaching infinity. There are whole blogs, forums and pages completely devoted to the comic spank. Wow!

How to see EVERY Google search you've ever made - WHAT DO YOU MEAN "DELETE BROWSER HISTORY" DOES NOTHING?

Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.

Cuba: un culte autour de Fidel Castro

Aux yeux des touristes, toujours plus nombreux à Cuba, son image est d'ailleurs l'une des grandes attractions du pays, uniquement concurrencée par celle d'Ernesto «Che» Guevara, l'autre icône révolutionnaire, exécuté il y a près de 49 ans en Bolivie.

Difficile pourtant de croiser par hasard Fidel Castro, retiré du pouvoir depuis dix ans et pratiquement inaccessible.
Il ne reçoit que de rares visites de personnalités dans sa maison à La Havane, que peu de personnes seraient capables de situer sur une carte. 

Plus rares encore sont ses apparitions publiques ou la publication de photos récentes de lui.

The Day After Tomorrow: Eerie Concept Art Depicts Earth After The Apocalypse

I like to introduce you to the dark visions of Noro8 aka Norbert. He is an artist from the UK who specialises in digital art and photo manipulation, with a very special interest in post-apocalyptic wastelands. Noro8 loves designing images that focus on end-of-human-civilization scenarios with dark sci-fi elements strewn copiously. He believes society is broken and selfish and utterly brainwashed and envisage a morose future where survival is a nightmarish hell. In that sense, Nero8 serves as a kind of harbinger. His art conveys visions from his mind’s eye and they are dark and gritty and devoid of hope.

The Coolest Photos From The New York Public Library's Massive Image Dump

Last week, the New York Public Library released into the public domain 180,000 images that span centuries, subjects and styles. These are the ones that are, simply, the coolest.

The NYPL breaks down their collections into various genres based on what type of media the photo is, so for our own sanity,1 we've gone ahead and used those same subjects here.

Only half of your friends actually like you, study reveals

When you call someone a friend, it goes without saying that they too consider you a friend - you like them, they like you, it’s a reciprocal thing. 
But a recent study has found that this is probably only true about 50 percent of the time - only half of perceived friendships are actually mutual, and that’s a problem.

Vivid Illustrations Depict Dynamic Scenes of Nature and East Asian Mythology

Shenzhen, China-based artist RLoN Wang is back with more intricate illustrations that burst with color and life. Since we last shared his work a year ago, Wang has branched out from more understated portraits of animals to vibrant illustrations jam-packed with wild beasts, mythical creatures, and motifs from nature. Rendered in a style reminiscent of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, Wang's drawings incorporate rich imagery from East Asian folklore and art, including elaborately curled clouds, giant carp, and fierce Chinese guardian lions. Overflowing with meticulous details, dynamic line art, and vivid hues, each piece demands a second or third look in order to be appreciated fully.
