Tonight in SXSW party pictures: Jill Abramson, the executive editor of The Times, and Jeff Elder, the marketing director at Storify (and former newsman himself), compare tattoos at the Palm Door. Ms. Abramson’s tattoo is a New York City subway token. Mr. Elder’s is “All the News That’s Fit to Print,” The Times’s slogan since 1896. (Photo by Jeff Elder) — Lexi Mainland

Note: Ms. Abramson is speaking about the future of The Times on Monday at 11 a.m.

Okay this is probably the only time we’ll reblog Brand X.

SXSW can suck it. I’m going to this tonight and it’s very likely that I will poop my pants in Carnegie Hall.

During Apollo 11’s historic moon mission in July 1969, astronaut Buzz Aldrin unfurls a “solar wind sheet” designed to collect atomic particles blowing from the distant sun. The Lunar Excursion Module, which got Aldrin and Neil Armstrong safely to and from the lunar surface, stands behind him.

ourpresidents:

The election of 1868 marked the first election in which recently freed slaves were allowed to vote. Many of them voted for General Ulysses S. Grant, pictured here.

Grant won the Republican presidential nomination, despite the fact that the only time he had ever voted for president was in 1856, when he voted for Democrat James Buchanan.

Grant’s picture is attached to this metal star with adhesive, and it has two metal tabs on the back so it can be attached to clothing.

You all liked this picture so much, you can see all the outtakes right hurr, on the @GodsGirls journal I just posted.  

They’re pretty hot.  I don’t really say that lightly.  They even turn me on a little.
