When Jean Dujardin won his Oscar for 'The Artist' he was Over the Moon! This tumblr is inspired by him, the stupid French actor. Take a look you might find something here that you like.

When Columbia Pictures revised their logo in 1991, they did a photo shoot with a statuesque Louisiana home maker, Jennifer Joseph, who was not a professional model, and never did anything in showbusiness again. 

In case you’re wondering who the woman in the Columbia logo is supposed to be, she is Columbia, a warrior goddess-like personification of the United States America. A lot of 19th Century art, including the famous “Go West, Young Man” illustrations personified the US not as Uncle Sam (which only came in vogue in the 20th Century) but as a woman, Columbia. 

Previously, the longest served logo for Columbia Pictures was this one:

The identity of the woman who posed is not known, but the best guess we have is that it was the unreally beautiful Evelyn Venable, who was also the voice and model for Disney’s Blue Fairy in Pinocchio:

If the world ever leaves you feeling hopeless, remember that Star Trek was cancelled twice and deemed an utter failure; then rose from the ashes to become the flagship for all of science fiction, spawning six spin-offs, fourteen movies, and enough novels to keep the fires burning through the Long Night. Oh, and inspired new technology, popularized fan fiction, created slash, forged the foundation for modern fan culture, and pushed young people to the sciences. A show that was fucking cancelled. CANCELLED!

So. When it gets bad out there, just… be Star Trek.

BE STAR TREK.

Political power is a zero-sum game. The more it’s centered in a few hands, the less political power everyone else has. It’s almost impossible to separate wealth from power, because the wealthy turn their fortunes into campaign contributions to politicians who will change laws to their liking (and prevent laws they’d detest from ever seeing the light of day). By spending his fortune trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, Sergey Brin is making the argument for why we need to tax billionaires more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could. Thank you, Sergey.
