After LANTERNS episode 6, I'm even more confused about this - what did Hal go to jail for? (And was it Earth jail, or space jail?) Why does Hal owe amends because most of Rushville willingly protected a genocidaire who offered good health benefits (before she used space lasers to shoot up the town)?

Did you understand how Hal was supposed to have betrayed his oath and values to keep the ring? I didn't really get that part (given that John was conscious and not on fire when Hal left the car).

lmao Hugging Face is named after the 🤗 emoji, all this time I've just been assuming it was the facehuggers from ALIEN

Random call into the void: is there by any chance anyone on here who knows of a really good historical treatment of the 1866 treaty between the U.S. and the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations?

Question for law-talking folks - is there actually a First Amendment issue with banning outlets from the White House, if other restrictions aren't put on reporting and publication? Presumably lots of news orgs already lack WH access - does revoking existing credentials cause specific legal problems?

Don't think that all policing should be defunded, but stuff like this definitely should be.

Overtime at GCSO seems to be tied to salary, and Sheriff Smith has, naturally, the highest salary in the department. June payroll records FOIA'd from GCSO show him earning a flat amount (no hours recorded) of $1,495.35 in ICE overtime -- about a 12% bonus atop his monthly salary of $11,839.17.

Sometimes it's interesting to look back on older work, I made this artwork of Ginger Rogers for Arrow in 2017. They changed the text for the cover - I think mine was probably too hard to read.

Jeff says this power line stuffed with cuckoos is one of his favorite pictures from the Birds of Brazil account, and you know what, he makes a strong point

I don't know if this is particular to America, or modernity, or what, but a lot of people really seem to struggle with the idea that sometimes choices have to be made in situations where no good choice is available (including the choice of removing oneself from the situation)

Here’s a thing I painted.

Hey. The kiddos are trying to get postcards from every state. It's only been done once for her class. Sooo if you'd all send a postcard to some fourth graders I'd appreciate it. Or boost this post so someone who wants to will.

Homology

It's good we've reached a point where Gloria Steinem and Dolly Parton can be seen as complementary figures, instead of representing incompatible and antagonistic ideals of womanhood

This account usually posts when it's daytime in Japan and the middle of the night in the U.S., so there's not always a lot of viral traction, but the art is so so good, thoughtful and precise in a way that's also totally calm and unfussy

Happy #InverteFest! Hermit crab says trans rights forever! 🦀

We always talk about "imagine if a Democrat was doing this," but even trying to think about President Nikki Haley saying she would demolish the Kennedy Center if it didn't have her name on it, the mind boggles

Genuinely: if you know someone with trail crew, landscaping, etc experience who has worked with chainsaws and wants to live and work on a tropical island for a couple months, please encourage them to apply (or apply if this is you!). I can teach the banding part. I know you folks are out there!

Come work for me! Especially if you like veg clearing because hoo boy two super typhoons did a number on the net lanes. But it's the best place in the world, I promise!

Wikipedia is claiming there's a Québécois form of the generic term "Joe Blow," spelled "Jos Bleau," absolutely amazing

These proceedings don't deserve to be dignified with the status of "law," and should be given no weight by future administrations.

Old work. Istanbul, watercolour and acrylics.

Conquest of Mexico. Incredible setting and backstory, a complex female role with La Malinche, cross-cutting allegiances (including Gonzalo Guerrero joining the Maya), lots of dramatic twists, new characters like Narváez and Cuauhtémoc to enliven later seasons, and a naval battle for the big finish.
