Photoshop challenge

Can a magazine with untouched images of models sell? I don’t know. Every time I have stood in the supermarket checkout line, I’ve noticed the stunning works by digital artists on the front pages of magazines. I must admit; I’m not the demographic for those magazines.

Fuck the police?

It’s a trend that’s as old as the profession itself, but has only gained noticeable momentum in the past decade or so. It appears as though you can’t even mention “law enforcement” in a light that is anything but completely negative without some young kid—who spends far too much time reading alternative news websites and YouTube comments—jumping up your ass and verbally tearing you to pieces for implying that we don’t live in a police state where the average law enforcement officer is a power-hungry closet murderer.

Meatless Monday: Vegetarian sloppy joes

Though this recipe may seem intimidating because of its long list of ingredients, I can assure you that the complication ends there. Using slow cookers is a great option if you’re a busy student on the go: just quickly toss in whatever you need in the morning, and then it’ll be ready by the time your day is done, ensuring that you have a healthy, homemade meal to fuel that big ol’ brain of yours.

Animesque: Losing consciousness

Mamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell and Ghost in the Shell: Innocence are set in a cyberpunk world where people project their minds into robot bodies called “shells” and computers can hack people’s brains. These films are considered two of the most influential and philosophically long-winded sci-fi anime in history, defining the genre for over a decade.
