M. Ward is getting old — at least, that’s the impression you get listening to his latest release, Hold Time, which blends nostalgia, romanticism and old-fashioned foot-stomping in equal parts. Nostalgia is nothing new for Ward: He may be most famous as actress Zooey Deschanel’s better half in last year’s team-up under the name She & Him, but he’s best known amongst fans for his obsession with old-time American roots music. Which makes Hold Time an interesting paradox.

Baby’s choice: to meet market needs or safety standards?
This delightful dollar-store find seems to be suffering from a conflict between its brand name and its safety advisory.
These bath frogs are clearly labeled as being “Baby’s Choice.” The smiling person in the overalls on the right side of the package appears to be the Baby in question, who is making this choice. That grin would disappear quickly were said Baby able to read the safety warning immediately to his right.
