The Wall Street Crash of 1929, also known as the Great Crash, the Stock Market Crash of 1929, was the most devastating stock market crash in the history of the United States, taking into consideration the full extent and duration of its fallout.

The initial crash occurred on Thursday, October 24, 1929, but the catastrophic downturn of Monday, October 28 and Tuesday, October 29 precipitated widespread alarm and the onset of an unprecedented and long-lasting economic depression for the United States and the world. This stock market collapse continued for a month. Leading to the phrases: Black Thursday, Black Friday, then Black Monday, and Black Tuesday.

Depression

The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression in the decade preceding World War II. The timing of the Great Depression varied across nations, but in most countries it started in about 1929 and lasted until the late 1930s or early 1940s.[1] It was the longest, most widespread, and deepest depression of the 20th century, and is used in the 21st century as an example of how far the world's economy can decline.

It seems we have learned nothing.

anne geddes in 3d

I was in a toy store yesterday and ran into this monstrosity. I already find Geddes's work creepy, tacky, untalented and utterly monstrous. Not to mention I have serious doubt's as to how she manages to keep babies so quiet to the shoot.

If you enjoy creepy things, you're in luck, for now there are 3d palpable versions of her work. I was spooked.
