"The egotistical one continues lashing out in selfishness.

The unstable one continues its bipolarity towards others.

The apathetic one continues to do nothing in the world.

The conniving one continues to use others for its gain."

A print ad for Korkers, featuring hand-drawn images of little scenario in which William Tell hold a crossbow, his son has an apple on his head with the words "Feeling a little apprehensive?" and then in the next panel the copy "Relax. Unwind with Korkers. The new corn chip from Nabisco" sits above an image of William Tell, his son, and some lady eating Korkers with a bowl of dip.

For some reason, when Nabisco released Korkers in late 1969, they went with a William Tell theme for the print marketing, which weirdly seems simultaneously more and more brilliant and confusing the longer you sit with it!

The history of Philly’s Joe Frazier statue, from inception to a move to the Art Museum After just over a decade outside what is now known as Stateside Live!, the city’s statue of Philly’s own “Smokin’” Joe Frazier is about to be the newest Philly boxer to call the Art Museum home.

Frazier’s statue was unveiled in 2015 after years of work and advocacy. Fans and supporters considered the lack of a statue an injustice, given that the statue of Rocky Balboa has been in the city for more than 40 years and he’s not even a real person.

On August 11, 2013 Cassini's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem, captured a set of images of Saturn and Titan. This is a natural color composite of three images ISS snapped in red, green, and blue filters. Saturn and Titan appear as crescents here because Cassini was almost completely behind the worlds as they faced the Sun. These images were taken on August 11, 2013 and received on Earth August 14, 2013. The camera was pointing toward SATURN at approximately 1,065,949 miles (1,715,478 kilometers) away, and the images were taken using the red, green, and blue filters.

Yakuza 3 Remastered also on GOG (and will likely remain there as 0 did) - $19.99 buff.ly/mbB5wsQ #ad

Worth buying if you want to experience the original because apparently K3 will change the trajectory of the story post-K3, possibly making it obsolete to play Yakuza 4 and beyond until whatever the sequel to this is.

Dozens of people who had been workshopping their pithy observational one-liners on Twitter, shouting into the void to no one in particular, now had a fresh venue to try out their polished material, and it always felt exactly like this GIF, but sweatier
