Real-life Grave of the Fireflies: (Photo) Stoic Japanese orphan, standing at attention having brought his dead younger brother to a cremation pyre, Nagasaki, by Joe O’Donnell 1945
This photograph was taken by an American photojournalist, Joe O’Donnell, in Nagasaki in 1945.
He recently spoke to a Japanese interviewer about this picture:
“I saw a boy about ten years old walking by. He was carrying a baby on his back. In those days in Japan, we often saw children playing with their little brothers or sisters on their backs, but this boy was clearly different. I could see that he had come to this place for a serious reason. He was wearing no shoes. His face was hard. The little head was tipped back as if the baby were fast asleep.
“The boy stood there for five or ten minutes. The men in white masks walked over to him and quietly began to take off the rope that was holding the baby. That is when I saw that the baby was already dead. The men held the body by the hands and feet and placed it on the fire.
“The boy stood there straight without moving, watching the flames. He was biting his lower lip so hard that it shone with blood. The flame burned low like the sun going down. The boy turned around and walked silently away.

Coming Soon of the Day: Neil Degrasse Tyson Will Host the Sequel of Carl Sagan’s Cosmos
Though it’s been quietly in the works since 2011, Fox has officially confirmed that Carl Sagan’s monumental 1970 sci-ed miniseries Cosmos: A Personal Voyage will be getting an updated sequel next year, which will consist of 13 episodes produced by Family Guy’s Seth MacFarlane and hosted by one of the Internet’s most celebrated astrophysicists, Neil Degrasse Tyson. Fox is hoping the show will have as much as of cultural impact as Carl Sagan’s original series, which still remains one of the most watched PBS series in the world to this day.

Modes of Travel [Part 1]
Some took trains, others steamships. Still others found comfort lounging around the grounds of their luxury hotels. Whatever the case, in a world that was increasingly moving towards the speed of light, travelers were looking for an escape from the tired monotony of stationary life.

Hundreds of wolves are being killed in Alberta, Canada’s western foothills every year because of new private bounties that easily quadruple the market price of wolf pelts. A recent proposal from the Alberta Fish and Game Association, an organization responsible for the rewards system, aims to extend bounties on wolf pelts across the entire province.
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FUCKING MIND HOW IS THAT IS MAN BEST FRIEND. Sick bastards
This is just fucking sick. Wolves are amazing and beautiful creatures. I used to have one. It absolutely breaks my heart to see this. I signed the petition and you all should too. This is why I am in organizations to help save wolves. Ugh
One of these days I think I might just start hunting people who hunt wolves… Well worth the high cost of ammo.
