OK. They just leased it for this, but still – how awesome is it that they can commission satellite photos?
Summary: Here it is, lolz!
That little speck on the right in all the darkness? Yeah, that’s a 1,090 ft. oil tanker. Bigger picture in the article.

Fail neologism: Slate did it as well as I can.
Epic manoeuver: DId you mean epic maneuver?
Violet Beauregarde suit: Really? Really? Somehow Google proc’d on that image I linked and has The Shocking Image at #2 on the Image Search result for this term. I’m sorry, internet.

It makes sense in hindsight, but after reading Lisa’s post about the NYT using the term newspaper refugee to describe an ex-journo*, I was going to make a smart-ass remark about what a newspaper internally displaced person would be like versus a newspaper refugee.

I dare say that if I were a photographer, I’d be out taking pictures of […]

I realize every day that I’m nowhere near the mythical Real America. I’ve been working a block away from a (burgeoning) Vespa dealership, my friends are mostly gun-owning liberals and, if there wasn’t free pizza today, I’d have probably popped round the food co-op for a baked tofu on wheat.

This guy on the left. Your podium-mates are making cultural history and it looks like you’re just standing there confused.
It turns out that he was part of the same organization. See that button on his chest? It’s for the Olympic Project for Human Rights, which the other two guys were raising a defiant fist in […]
