Flag in the woods

Unlike the other trash whoever-they-are drags hundreds of meters to discard in the woods, the torn Uruguayan flag apparently needed to retain its dignity.

Overkill?

Nothing exceeds like excess: display case in acupuncturist’s office, Montevideo. But hey, he’s been doing this for over forty years.

Another abandoned boardwalk through the dunes.

Preserving the dunes…sort of.

1) They actually added a proper handrail after

2) the original, tacked to the deck, fell apart and was carted off, presumably for firewood.

3) Another walk two years after they build it through an eroded portion of the dunes (to save the dunes, natch).

4) The same, 2-½ years later.

Sobering

For every 32 living people on Earth today, government killed one person in the 20th century

If that doesn’t make it clear to you that it’s the greatest source of danger to humanity I don’t know what will.

Serious typography

mapsontheweb:

“Ugly Gerry” is a font created by gerrymandered congressional districts.

Brilliant.
