I love seeing good Harley cosplays. Powered By Osteons: Holding Hands into Eternity. This week, a news story was going around about an Iowa couple. Married 72 years, they got into a car accident and died within an hour of one another. They arrived at the hospital holding hands and continued to do so through their deaths.

So look at this: This nebula-like cluster is so bright, so rich with star-like objects at the center it looks like a celestial cloud. Here's another: I'm guessing it's a planet or a moon, showing a Martian-like rusty surface crisscrossed with hummocks of lighter rock or maybe ice.

Then there's this place: forlorn, silent, lifeless. But here's the thing. None of these objects are celestial. They are all the undersides of frying pans. I kid you not. Keep looking. Photographer Jonassen told Peter Smith of Good Magazine that the idea came to him when he was far from home. I asked my friends and family, [to dig] around in cellars and in attics. Illustration by NPR. Egg Magazine. From Virtual Japan Egg Magazine is a Japanese fashion magazine focused on gyaru style. The magazine, which features photographs of ganguro girls, with their interests and newest trends, has become popular for its take on a specific subset of Japanese street culture, much in the same way Fruits did before it.

About Egg Magazine Published by Taiyo Group , Egg Magazine is a monthly publication focusing specifically on Gyaru fashion, or women’s street fashion in Tokyo. The magazine has been published since the 1980s when the fashion first came into style and has since evolved repeatedly to match the ebb and flow of the fashions that it reports on.

I miss Warren Ellis. I know, I know: He hasn't actually gone anywhere. He's still writing comics, still posting away at warrenellis.com and all the usual social media outlets. But long gone are the days of the Warren Ellis Forum, Come in Alone, Bad Signal, Do Anything. Gone is the constant railing against the comics status quo, the clever instigation of grassroots comics activism, the never-ending pursuit of the next great idea.

Warren Ellis was relentless in the development of new ideas. Ministry of Space. If you wanted comics that reveled in the pure joy of creation, that reclaimed the term "all-new and all different" from the superhero factories built simultaneously on constant reinvention and the illusion of change, Warren Ellis was a true hero, one of the greatest and most uncompromising friends this medium has ever had. And he was repaid for that dedication and friendship with the stubborn reluctance of comicdom assembled to move forward. So he left. So, yeah. Science - Gizmodo stories - Gizmodo. BATTLE PLANET.
