Finished cutting the pieces for panel 2/4 of the “Piscola hunting squirrels at sunset” lamp. Here, a squirrel peeks out, wondering where his friend is. Well, his friend is dead—eaten, as depicted on panel 1/4. In the foreground, Piscola’s favorite red ball.

The New York Times is such trash. Now that we know it’s a white guy, they’re pushing this familiar narrative—lone wolf, great promise, unknown motive—and avoiding the relevant details: access to arms, involvement in white nationalism, and MAGA family.
