Margaret Groening (1919-2013)

A few weeks ago Margaret Groening, the 94 year old mother of Simpson’s creator Matt Groening and inspiration for the character Marge Simpson, passed away in her sleep. Her obituary is filled with character names from the Simpson universe. Her maiden name was Wiggum. She had a husband named Homer. Of her children, 2 were named Lisa & Maggie. Only Bart –an anagram for “Brat” –wasn’t named after one of the Groenings.

Fan Art of the Day: The Gauntlet of Infinity

Could Patton Oswalt’s Marvel-crossover vision for the next Star Wars film actually become a reality? Redditor Criticalbuzz made this colorful mock-up poster in homage to Oswalt’s multi-verse script idea that he pitched during his recent appearance in an episode of Parks and Recreation. In the episode, Oswalt guest stars as a filibustering citizen who launches into an impressive non-stop eight-minute long improvised speech at a town hall meeting.

There’s nothing better, than a well done hand crafted, animated piece of work. Mad respect.

One scene shows her reblogging in tumblr. Now i’m reblogging her.

“Takuya Hosogane goes anime in this new music video for Jin, but keeps his sly sense of humor. Takuya says that he wanted to create a piece that referenced the experience of browsing through a tumblr of animated GIFs: gloriously random with awesome moments of synchronicity. And, in a true win for the Internet, someone’s already taken the video and reblogged it on tumblr it as an animated GIF.” - Motionographer

The Making Of video is neat, too.

Sweet animation yall!!

They Came Before Columbus: The African Presence in Ancient America by Ivan Van Sertima

They Came Before Columbus reveals a compelling, dramatic, and superbly detailed documentation of the presence and legacy of Africans in ancient America. Examining navigation and shipbuilding; cultural analogies between Native Americans and Africans; the transportation of plants, animals, and textiles between the continents; and the diaries, journals, and oral accounts of the explorers themselves, Ivan Van Sertima builds a pyramid of evidence to support his claim of an African presence in the New World centuries before Columbus. Combining impressive scholarship with a novelist’s gift for storytelling, Van Sertima re-creates some of the most powerful scenes of human history: the launching of the great ships of Mali in 1310 (two hundred master boats and two hundred supply boats), the sea expedition of the Mandingo king in 1311, and many others. In They Came Before Columbus, we see clearly the unmistakable face and handprint of black Africans in pre-Columbian America, and their overwhelming impact on the civilizations they encountered.

PBS Idea Channel - Is buying Call of Duty a moral choice?

Here is a very interesting youtube short from the PBS Idea channel series (which I find quite intredasting) about the underlying business when buying a ”realistic 1st person shooter” game.

Good stuff. The video, I mean…

29,000 Chilean miners go on 24-hour strike

Some 29,000 Chilean miners have staged a 24-hour work strike at the world’s top copper producer, demanding greater safety and job security.

Union leaders say that the Tuesday strike includes employees at the state miner Codelco and other private mining companies.

“We said enough is enough, we need to find solutions … we’ve had more than 70 comrades die since” October 2010, said head of the Federation of Copper Workers umbrella union group Raimundo Espinoza.

Workers at Codelco are demanding to keep having access to the government health care system, better retirement conditions as well as improved job stability guarantees.

Union leaders say that they have fears of being replaced by subcontract workers, laid off, or having their benefits cut as Chilean mining companies are battling increasing prices, falling ore grades and energy woes.
