"Whac-a-Vet," Ink wash cartoon by Columbine Phoenix and E. J. Barnes.  As Greg Bovino, Tom Homan, and Stephen Miller look on approvingly, Kristi Noem wielding the mallet over a Whac-a-Mole game, with child in Hallowe'en costume; T-Rex and Frog costumes; and elderly army man popping out of the holes. Caption: "I bet I get extra points for this one!"

Another one of these sadists has been rusticated. Two down, two to go. Maybe we can find more graft by Homan. (@redcolumbine.bsky.social was my collaborator on this one)

Except Russians who have openly criticized Putin have been forced to flee. I actually know one such who now lives in Latvia. (Which no doubt makes it complicated -- the Latvians have long had a fraught relationship with their Russian population, for Soviet-related reasons.)

β€œShield Maidens”, 12x12 inch acrylic on wood panel. Appalled by the war. These three took many layers to reveal their comforting message. May we be the β€œwarriors” that end this. Just finished and listed on my website. www.jeanietomanek.com/new-products...

Less than 24 hours after I posted about Pam Bondi's proposed rule that would stop state bar associations from investigating misconduct by DOJ lawyers, you all have posted 1436 comments. Thank you to all who have taken action, and please keep it up! Read more here: www.lawyeroyer.com/p/the-end-of...

Incompetence and apathy. They don't care about civilian deaths, period.

I only use my VPN (Windscribe) when I'm vending in a hall with non-secure wifi and I need to use my credit card app to handle customer purchases. This is what a friend recommended I do in this situation. Is that still worthwhile?

Luxembourg becomes second country worldwide to enshrine abortion rights in constitution Large majority in parliament backs amendment to Luxembourg’s highest law, with β€˜freedom’ to have an abortion added to constitution

Luxembourg lawmakers have voted to enshrine the freedom to have an abortion in the country’s constitution. However, wording was changed from "right" to "freedom" making it much weaker, and the country has a 12-week abortion limit that won't change.

After receiving reports on the potential casualties from a nuclear exchange with the Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, President John F. Kennedy reportedly remarked to advisers, β€œAnd we call ourselves the human race.”

I think we already know that he doesn't care who dies as long as he faces no consequences.

In case my comics community peeps are wondering whether Paramount buying Warner will have any effect on the comics industry, I just checked and DC Comics (and its subimprints) still belong to Warner.

For some reason, I've been thinking a lot lately about Gilles de Rais (1405--1440).

It's not like the reason it was the longest ever was because it contained anything we didn't know (or didn't know was false).

One of the first things I learned when I started work after college was that the ones who bragged loudest about how hard they worked were the biggest goldbrickers in the organization.

Considering where you'd have to stand to do the brick clapping, it could also trigger a kick.

I'm old enough to remember that during Watergate, the mainstream media was musing, "Is this the end of the Imperial Presidency?" Teenage me had no idea what they meant, although I thought I picked up on an implication that an Imperial Presidency was a bad thing.

Epstein hiding secret files across storage units isn’t a twist, it’s confirmation. Abuse on that scale requires logistics, money, and silence. The real scandal isn’t what he hid, it’s how institutions looked away long enough for evidence to be moved, buried, and protected.

In part because "just fun" is subjective.

And he barely listened, except to react to it as a defeat. He's not a detail man except when it comes to gilded gewgaws on the WH walls.
