A Statue In Istanbul To Honor Tombili, A Well-Known Stray Cat. He Used To Sit In This Position And Watch Passers-By

So many stray cats in Istanbul. I like this statue to honour Tombili.
It’s probably the dream of most photographers to create work that is so powerful that it echoes around the globe.
Truly iconic photos that you can identify at a glance are the height of photography. They resonate with you on a deep level and offer you a glimpse into the very soul of humankind—or at least that’s the idea.
Building up to an iconic photo requires years of dedication, effort…and a big dollop of luck.

Lonnie Johnson Invented The Super Soaker In The Late 1980s. In 2013, He Reached A Settlement With Hasbro That Awarded Him Nearly $73 Million In Unpaid Royalties

"Lonnie George Johnson (born October 6, 1949) is an American inventor, aerospace engineer, and entrepreneur, best known for inventing the bestselling Super Soaker water gun in 1989. He was formerly employed at the U.S. Air Force and NASA, where he worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory."
CNN points out that iconic images are so dramatic that they embed themselves in your culture. “They have come to define a historical event, a famous person—or maybe even an entire generation.” These photos can be something that makes you feel proud or horrifies you because of the tragedy captured in the frame.
“I think the most important common denominator is that they [iconic photos] strike us on a very deep emotional level, and the emotions are usually some of the deepest emotions that a human being can feel: heroism, fear, grief, joy,” Peter Howe, former director of photography at Life magazine and picture editor at The New York Times Magazine, told CNN about the universality of the emotions depicted in iconic images.

Former Billionaire Chuck Feeney Secretly Gave Away His $8 Billion Fortune. His Philanthropy Was Exposed In 1997 When A Business Dispute Forced The Disclosure Of His Identity As The Anonymous Donor

The world needs more billionaires like that. It’s amazing to think how much good they could do if they only wanted to.

Partly, it's because they often came from those communities, but also it gives you hundreds, if not thousands, of sets of friendly eyes watching your back.

Many Japanese Toilets Have A Built-In Sink Above The Water Tank, Allowing Users To Wash Their Hands And Then Reuse That Water For The Next Flush. This Saves Millions Of Liters Annually

On the negative side of the scale, the volume of photographic content being produced now is almost deafening. To put it simply, there are so many photos being shared online that it makes it extremely difficult to find potentially iconic images of high quality.

We’re all undergoing learning experiments with the digital, even though it’s been around for so long.”

A Street In Paris After Weeks Of Garbage Collector Strikes
Cybele Spanjaard 1 month ago
People are so grubby and unable to dispose or tend to their own rubbish, so dependant....disgusting
Marie BellaDonna 1 month ago (edited)
And how exactly would you propose people "tend to their own rubbish", when there's literally nowhere to take said rubbish? Maybe some smaller towns/areas still have open air dumps. But most bigger cities have outlawed them, in favor of communal landfills where trash is buried with heavy machinery in lined pits, to try to cut down on chemicals and things leaching into the soil. You can't drive your own trash to a landfill. You can't even enter a landfill, unless you work there, for obvious safety and insurance reasons. So if your city's trash isn't being picked up, where would you take it? You can't take it to your neighbor's, because their trash isn't being picked up, either. You can't even take it to a dumpster at a fast food place or something, because theirs isn't being picked up either. No one's is. Neither is recycling. There's NOWHERE to take ANYTHING. And there's only so much you can compost-plus that's simply not an option for everyone. So it piles up. The garbage collectors knew this. They knew exactly how important they are. And they knew exactly what would happen if they went on strike. That's exactly why they did it. That's how you force a change. By showing the people in charge exactly how much they, and everyone else, really rely on you. And exactly how much they stand to lose, if they mistreat you. Besides, as someone else said, if everyone had taken their own trash, and cleaned up on their own (assuming they had a place to take said trash) the strike would've been in vain. It might have been gross in the short run. But it improved things in the long run. And that was exactly the goal.

After 14 Months At Sea, A Sailor Meets His Baby For The First Time, 1940s

Baby could be 5 months. A 9 month pregnancy + 5 months old = 14 months.

They didn't say the baby was 14 months old. They said he'd been at sea 14 months. If he got his wife pregnant right before he left, and she was pregnant for 9 months, then the baby's 5 months old. It's plausible, at least.

Not this again. So many people can't add up. If they had s*x just before he left, that's the first nine months covered. That baby is not newborn, it's about a year old, so yes. 14 months at sea and the baby is his.

There have been periods where they interacted with scientists, but the scientists then respected their wish to be left alone. Nowadays any interaction with the outside world has to be initiated by the North Sentinelese, on their terms. They know how to contact the boats that are in the area (Indian Navy provides an eyes on, hands off approach).

Or even gay. A lot of men back then married and had kids because it was the "proper" thing to do. Whether they were straight or not. It certainly wasn't NEARLY as acceptable to be openly queer back then. Especially for someone who hoped to become/was president. Which I think is sad. People should be able to be who they are, and be happy. Love is love, man. And I don't care who someone loves. I just care that they do their job properly. And treat others with basic human kindness.

In 1967, Sweden Switched From Driving On The Left To The Right Overnight - The Change Caused Only One Minor Injury That Day
Hugo 1 month ago
Driving on the left is safer because most people are right-eyed, meaning the right eye 'locks on' to something and the left follows. So when you overtake on the right of another vehicle you spot anything coming toward you (or some other hazard) a split second sooner. Sweden changed because -- it was said -- most cars were imported from other countries and had the steering wheel on the left: that made street parking easier but overtaking decidedly hazardous. Not sure why the cars were left-hand drive: the UK has plenty made in Germany and elsewhere but with right-hand drive for the UK market.
