We're all familiar with the standard greeting cards - birthday cards, thank you cards, holiday cards and such - but it's not often that we send or receive cards that are meant to inspire. Holstee, best known for their massively popular Manifesto, recently collaborated with some of their favorite artists to create illustrations that promote the idea of mindful living.
After Parks and Recreation and Community were so hilariously mashed together with Texts From Last Night, I was certain that we’d seen the last of any fictional characters from film and TV being coupled with TFLN quotes, because I didn’t think it could get much better. But then TFLN founder Lauren Leto posted this to her Twitter account the other day… “OMG” is right. Disney Ladies From Last Night will probably ruin your memories of an innocent childhood, what with quotes about blowjobs and pearl necklaces laid over stills of Disney princesses. It’s all so good and sick — just how I like it. So here’s a handful of my favorites from the site. Enjoy.
Laurent Aigon is not a flight engineer, or a pilot. He’s a waiter, but he has a young son who’s obsessed with airplanes and Aigon is an airplane fan himself. So Aigon built him a fully functioning simulation of a 737 cockpit and put it in his bedroom. How the hell did Aigon even pull this off? Well, essentially by just doing it: And since 40 is a little late in life to start that process from scratch, he did the next best thing: Methodically order parts from the internet, at a cost tallying thousands of euros, until he had assembled a control panel and screen that functions precisely the way the real thing would. Particularly heartwarming is the fact that, as part of putting together this simulation properly, Aigon wound up actually logging enough hours on the simulator to be a fairly decent pilot, and his work was so well done that it’s used by professionals to learn the ins and out. He’s even spoken at aircraft repair schools about building simulators.
Poor models. Who says they don’t have it tough? Have you ever tried walking in their shoes? Even they can’t manage it—and it’s their job! Lucky for us, people with too much time on their hands have made gifs of these moments when the aspiring and established have hilariously eaten some serious shit mid-strut. But, maybe it’s too mean to laugh at their ankle wobbles and flat-on-the-ass falls? Nah. Here are some of my faves:
