The increasingly common multiracial faces of America, via National Geographic. I'm sure all the old white people in Alabama who are hearing Spanish at their favorite buffet restaurants, the old white people in east Texas now seeing openly mixed-race couples with babies in their towns, and...
Submitted without comment. OK, one: if loving Allen West’s new book cover is wrong, I don’t wanna be right. I’m an artist with a pretty detailed knowledge of Photoshop…and I.
I watched Man of Steel again yesterday, and all I can say is that on second-viewing, I'm impressed by Zak Synder's subtlety. He captured Superman's insectile origins quite superbly --.
