#100 years
100 year old Galapagos tortoise with a few weeks old Galapagos baby posing for a new family photo, and its own baby photo from 100 years ago.
love that for 100 years people have looked at these beasts and thought “heehee what if the big one wore the little one like a hat”
Soviet citizens on parade for 100th anniversary of Lenin’s birth. I would say it was taken somewhere very up north. They dressed for a very cold weather, but still had to do the whole “I am happy with communism” thing.

I went and collected a few seers we know can see the future and a few items that allow people to see the future.
All together we had a total of 7 individual ways to look into the future.
Out of all of the different ways and positions that we looked, there are 4 outcomes for this planet’s future in 100 years.
A. Dead planet with nothing on it. A few artificial life forms here and there but it’s mostly just barren.
B. Enslaved world under absolute dictatorship. This is where something has conquered the planet and everything is miserable.
C. Everything is fine and the world is just more advanced in technology.
D. Half the world is a wasteland while the remaining half is in a heated battle with some unknown forces that seek to destroy what’s left of the planet.
So yeah.
This is our possible futures.
Just letting you all know in advance.
Sorry to destroy all your future timeline fan fictions.

It’s technically the 27th in London, so there [and here soon], it is the centennial anniversary of the birth of Christopher Lee, the true most interesting man in the world, a man who did not let the end of WWII stop him from hauling Nazis’ sorry asses to justice, and the guy who showed us all how Dracula’s done.
And there are few lines in the horror genre as chilling as his delivery of “It is time to keep your appointment… with the Wicker Man.”

“Thus all [Frederick Douglass’s] life he had to fall back upon what was fundamental in his experience, remembering that the key to his basic identity lay neither in books, nor in white men’s minds, but in the slavery-scars on his back.” - Ralph Ellison, in our list of the very best sentences we’ve published in the past 100 years.
