"Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article misstated which day the New York Mets suffered their 11th straight loss. It was on Sunday, not Monday. Even the Mets cannot lose on an off day."
Two copy editors high-fiving so hard right now
Me: OK just a short video on the Northwest Indian War to get back into the swing of things.
Also Me: Hmm this is turning out to be a longer video than I first thought. But that's fine.
Also Also Me: WHAT DO YOU MEAN HIS 2ND IN COMMAND WAS A SPY WHO WANTED KENTUCKY TO JOIN SPAIN?!?!
This is my poster for Doctor Who: The Gunfighters. It features the First Doctor holding a gun, coloured in blue and red, with little figures behind him, coloured in blue. The background is a light yellow. On the top left, it says "All he wanted was a dentist. He got a shootout instead." On First Doctor's body, it says "William Hartnell, in a episode directed by Rex Tucker", "The Gunfighters - a Doctor Who original", 16mm - Black & White" and "With Peter Purves & Jackie Lane". On the bottom, it says all the other cast members in the episode. My watermark is on the bottom left corner.
NEW ARTWORK!
It's been 60 years since Dr. Who visited Tombstone for a dental emergency and what he got instead was a gunfight. Yeee-haw!! 🤠🐎
My group of artist friends wanted to make posters for The Gunfighters for its anniversary, so I had to join and make one! #DoctorWho #WilliamHartnell

We are looking at a painting of St Liphardus - a 6th-century lawyer, hermit and abbot in Meung-sur-Loire near Orléans, France. He is wearing bishops clothing including a surplus and mitre and is holding a crook. On a lead is a small knee high green and blue dragon.
We’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.

The Doctor and Ruby Sunday are in the foreground. They are turning, shocked, to see the Fugitive Doctor in the background holding a rifle. She is framed by a semi-circular window revealing a blazing sun in the distance. Art by Scott Gray.

Ew. Nope.

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Good lesson for Dems: you do NOT have to pivot to the right, actually
Interesting to see the Dem elite are at least pretending to support a centrist* politician. First it was the official benediction from Obama & now the Dem org is promoting Mamdami. Remember these ppl were treating him as if he were a terrorist & calling him [wrongly] antisemitic, not so long ago.
*The US is unique amongst the Western democracies in having no significant left wing politicians. In Europe Mamdami, AOC & Sanders would be classed as centrists [the Overton window has also pulled most of the Dem party further right]. The GOP are far right.
Whatever is going on, the donations from AIPAC will be in the balance. It’s an interesting situation to see how many Dems will factually state that Gaza is a genocide & that Netanyahu needs to answer his arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court. The Dems have got themselves into…
Apparently that wasn't even the original intent in full. They were meant to be lizard aliens called Tellisians.
This piece begins with Amity Shlaes' most common and most deceitful trick -- citing the unemployment numbers in 1938, when the country fell into a recession because FDR had been persuaded to *ease off* the New Deal, as proof that the New Deal didn't work.
Pure hackery.

Roger Tichborne as a young man. He is slim, slightly mournful-looking, and has an unimpressive moustache
The Tichborne Claimant, probably Arthur Orton, possibly Tomas Castro, and probably not Roger Tichborne – a very overweight man with sideburns and a cigar in his mouth, wearing a three-piece suit and a watchchain
Well, it’s 172 years today since slim francophone Roger Charles Doughty-Tichborne was last seen alive – a few months before he was presumed dead, and about 11 years before a 27-stone cockney butcher turned up from Australia claiming to be this long-lost heir to a fortune... 🧵
Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.
Lynne Thigpen as "The Chief" from Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego
Lock the fuck in, Gumshoes. Carmen Sandiego stole a priceless wax pressing of "One of These Nights" by the Eagles. You've got to stop her before she travels back in time to 149 BC Carthage and trades it to Scipio Africanus the Younger for a kilo of the good shit.

Modern high yield crops on which we depend only produce that yield with several rounds of fertiliser application. A big proportion of that fertiliser can’t get out of the Middle East now. Millions of people are going to starve as a result of Bibi & Trump’s war.
Hey artists, if you see this, post a dog
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
