This video makes me think: why the fuck are people considered extremists when all they want is to live a life fulfilling their genetic mandate of perpetual play, love, peace, and silliness?

This café, cookie shop, ice cream place in Cobble Hill Brooklyn is all about flavor, aroma and family. Their cookies and ice cream are absolutely to-die-for, and the place is so well-designed, painted in vintage colors with old family pictures printed on the walls, that you’ll want to indulge yourself for more than just a few minutes. Try their Whoopies and Lucia cookies. They’re my favourite.
TIME magazine’s annual Person of the Year issue is coming out this week. I illustrated one of the runner-ups, but of course, I have to keep my mouth completely shut.

It’s a good time to look back history and learn from it anyway, don’t you think?
