Manic week - apologies for multiple posts, but its all in plain sight now

The Double Headed Eagle - Russia and America and Authoritarian Big tech

The EU is the enemy of both

The Double-Headed Eagle: Russia, America and the Authoritarian Big Tech Alliance
It’s all in plain sight: Bannon and Dugin preach a pro-Russian “Christian” civilisation, Musk and Medvedev call for the EU’s undoing, while Vance and Thiel’s network shields Kremlin-aligned Big Tech

Found on martiniden666's Tumblr - thought this was a drawing but the caption says it's a photo from 1953 titled Cat in the Snow from photographer Hannes Kilian.

Does anyone have advice for helping an elderly Lab with arthritis (who is beyond things like stem cell treatment) with pain management? Anecdotal suggestions also welcome 🙏🏽

He has cartrophen injections and oral pain meds as needed. Liberalla off the table unfortunately. He’s just the best dog 🧡

'Sunset Snows', a near-pink amoena from 1963. A fussy grower for me, but I like it so it gets to stay.

The work before you is the work of generations.

Long is the way and hard that from darkness leads up into light.

This immediately makes me wonder what Rory was like as a teenager…

Another interesting fish from the Kem Kem - Bawitius! This is a 3m-long bichir, a group of fish I wasn't familiar with until starting this piece. Today, members of this group don't get more than a meter in length, and are apparently popular in aquariums!

My sister asked me to draw her a hellbender (aka, a snot otter). It turned out pretty well!

Also...did you know you can hire me to draw things like this for you? You don't even have to be family!

Day 6 of the #HooklandChristmasTree decoration and the Clapperclaw is taken from tin. No-one knows how the crow-headed figure came to be part of the dressing, but everyone is too afraid to suggest throwing it out. We give it a high branch for it talons to grip, let its glass eyes seek out new prey.

My conspiracy theory side thinks all these AI anti-ICE (and other causes) are going to become MAGA sock puppets the second the election rolls around.

Its about building reach for later propaganda exposure. I would bet my bottom dollar

It’s the 92nd anniversary today of one of the finest examples of Betteridge’s Law (the one which states that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word ‘no’)

With a foreword by me because I love Andy and this was a pure and honest art satire rage against the wankery of how the epidemic was treated in this country. Great and rightful then and now.

There hasn’t been a wild wolf in Hookland since 1483, but the land is long memory told in ghosts. The King’s Chase Forest has phantom pack. Wolves grown in size with each generation’s telling. Red-eyed, shadow-furred. They howl so we don’t forget our extinguishing sin. - #CLNolan

I have long argued for proportional representation. Friends countered “but that would have let Farage in years ago” I’ve always believed under proper scrutiny he’d crumble. I wish this had happened 20yrs ago, maybe Brexit would have been avoided if we hadn’t left him outside the tent pissing in.
