From Buzzfeed’s 45 Most Powerful Images Of 2011. Subjective as any best-of list but powerful nonetheless. Click pix to enlarge.

 

From top: A makeshift Steve Jobs memorial at the Apple Store in SOHO New York; an aerial shot of the damage immediately following the Japanese tsunami (Reuters / KYODO); a before and after shot of Joplin, Missouri after the tornado hit on May 22; (zeitlosimagery); Chile’s Puyehue volcano erupts, causing air traffic cancellations across South America, New Zealand, Australia and forcing over 3,000 people to evacuate; members of the national security team receive an update on the mission against Osama bin Laden in the Situation Room of the White House on May 1 (Reuters / HANDOUT), and Mihag Gedi Farah, a seven-month-old child, is held by his mother in a field hospital of the International Rescue Committee in the town of Dadaab, Kenya. (The baby has since made a full recovery.)

Team Spiderman: The ‘5th Least Influential People Alive’ according to GQ magazine’s decidedly subjective and first-worldly year-end list.

Here’s an amazing idea. Let’s spend $65 million on a musical about Spider-Man, because kids who like Spider-Man and old Jewish tourists who like to go to Broadway shows are totally the same demographic. Now, we’re going to need a batch of forgettable U2 B sides and a harness system designed by Lyle Lanley from The Simpsons‘ monorail episode. And let’s make sure there’s a shoe-shopping number! Who’s with me? It can’t possibly fail!

The 25 Least Influential People Alive (GQ)

Crikey.

It’s Paddy Cullivan of the Late Late house band (the artists usually known as the Camembert Quartet) in a spaceship among a toy-strewn studio 1 in Montrose literally about an hour ago.
This is going to be the best toy show ever. We can feel it.

Thanks Christina
