Supersize me above Farhenheit 9/11 and The Cove?  King of Kong is definitely underrated, as is The Kid Stays in the Picture, and no Mr. Death? Ones I’ve seen struckthrough. Fun list, but the absence of “Gates of Heaven” is baffling.

It wasn’t until I started reading and found books they wouldn’t let us read in school that I discovered you could be insane and happy and have a good life without being like everybody else.

nypl: For this week’s Mustache Monday, we’re featuring the work of social documentary photographer Lewis W. Hine, who spent much of his career covering the life and work of immigrants to the United States. The NYPL holds a large collection of his prints, many of which have been digitized. Above is a photo study of “Italian worker on New York State Barge Canal, 1912”.

putthison: “When I was young there were beatniks. Hippies. Punks. Gangsters. Now you’re a hacktivist. Which I would probably be if I was 20. Shuttin’ down MasterCard. But there’s no look to that lifestyle! Besides just wearing a bad outfit with bad posture. Has WikiLeaks caused a look? No! I’m mad about that. If your kid comes out of the bedroom and says he just shut down the government, it seems to me he should at least have an outfit for that.” - John Waters on the sorry style of today’s rebels  (emphasis mine)
