russia continues to bomb Ukraine.

People in Dnipro and Kharkiv suffered from new terrorist strikes.

There’s no rationale behind these cruel attacks — only insane, sadistic obsession.

Help prevent them — support air defenses:

Spring Break - Gator Days Characters Gustopher - Alligator - An easily excitable kid who loves making friends. Olivia - Opossum - A girl who is shy until she gets to know you. In reality she's rather mischievous and likes pranks. Gustopher's friend and classmate. Liam - Capybara - A quiet and introspective boy. Gustopher's friend and classmate. Fergus - Alligator - A grandpa who has been chewed up by the world but is doing his best. May - Alligator - A grandma who loves being a grandma. Panel 1 Gustopher leaps for joy and flings paper in the air. Gustopher: IT'S SPRING BREAK! Gustopher does not have a good reason to be flinging paper into the air. He's just seen characters in movies do that when school is out and wanted to give it a try himself. Panel 2 Olivia asks Gustopher about his plans for their break. Liam is gathering the floating paper that Gustopher flung into the air. He is not a fan of littering and will ask Gustopher politely not to do something like that again. Olivia: Are you and your dad doing anything special? Gustopher: No, he has to work. But that's okay. Panel 3 Gustopher has a determined look on his face and stares off into the distance in contemplation of his week ahead. Gustopher: I have someplace important to be. Panel 4 It's a later point and Gustopher is on the couch at his Grandparents. He's holding a plate with some treats while his grandpa is looking for something for them to watch. May: I'll get more snacks while you set up the next movie. Gustopher: Thanks Grandma! Keeping his grandparents company during spring break is an important job and Gustopher is happy to do it.

The Tree on the Corner - Gator Days Characters August - Alligator - A soft spoken single father who works in IT. Gustopher's dad. Gustopher - Alligator - An easily excitable child who loves making friends. August's son. Panel 1 Gustopher and his dad are taking a walk when Gustopher notices a tree trunk on the corner where a big tree used to be. He stares and it for a moment and contemplates the fact that it's gone. Panel 2 Gustopher goes to his dad who is preoccupied with something on his phone. He asks about the tree. Gustopher: Why did they cut down the tree on the corner? August keeps his eyes on his phone but responds to Gustopher. August: It was rotting and a safety hazard. Panel 3 Gustopher looks back at the stump. He understands the reason why it would need to be cut down but he liked the tree. Gustopher: I guess that's good. Is it weird that it makes me feel sad? August senses the sadness and Gustopher's voice and puts down his phone. He looks at the stump as well. Panel 4 August puts his hand on Gustopher's shoulder. August: That's not weird. It makes me feel sad too. The two of them take a moment a moment to process the emotion. It's not severe or intense but it's still there.

Scream if you have to…

You know that you are a human.

To mark World Poetry Day, Sir Stephen Fry recited a beautiful poem by famous Ukrainian poet and journalist, Vasyl Symonenko.

Thank you, Stephen, for promoting our culture. You are a gentleman and a scholar, as well as a true friend of Ukraine.
💙💛

I don’t know the story here but my best guess is “tripped over the cat going down stairs in the dark but still love him”. Photo from my collection, 1958.

A green felt patch. Image on the patch is a shooting star with purple and blue trail. Inside the trail, in blue lettering, is the text “cops shouldn’t murder guilty people either”

America is basically still a baby, but at 250, it’s time to grow up.

Sky Defense: Donate to Protect Ukrainian Skies | UNITED24 Donate to air defenses: drones, electronic warfare devices, vehicles for mobile air defense units, and other equipment that can intercept russian weapons

We won’t be melting Oscars into bullets — too wasteful.

We won’t be downing Shaheds with them — too ambitious (although, awesome in theory).

But we’re beyond grateful for such incredible shoutouts.

If you want too see russian drones burn, though…

Cat Burger - Gator Days Characters Catrick C. Cattington IV - Catfish - He might be a CEO of a company who is worth millions of dollars but he is just like you! Stuart - Quokka - A perpetually smiling Sectional Manager. He tackles every problem with motivational corporate speak intended to maximize collaboration and synergies among all employees. August - Alligator - A soft spoken single father who works in IT. Gustopher's dad. Transcript Panel 1 Catrick is filming an ad for a fast food restaurant's new product. He's excited to share it with you. He's wearing and tie so you know he means business but he also has a sweater vest on so you'll know he's friendly. He's also wearing gloves so he doesn't actually have to touch any food. There's a sign in the background that says "HOME SWEET HOME" which everyone hopes will disguise the fact that they're filming this in an empty conference room. Catrick: I'm taking a break from my busy CEO schedule to show you our new product. Yummy. Panel 2 Catrick is now sitting in front of a TV that says "CAT BURGER" with the Cat Burger mascot in the middle. Catrick: I enjoy consuming product while sipping a loss leader and watching content on the subscription service. Panel 3 Catrick has found himself two more food items from the Cat Burger menu. He's trying his best to keep them from getting too close to his mouth. In one had he has fries and in the other he has "Pistachio Spice" seasonal frozen treat. Does not actually contain pistachio. Catrick: I like to finish my meal by dipping my added value side in a seasonal item. I do this several times a week. Panel 4 Stuart is by the camera and giving Catrick feedback. No one has realized that no one has removed the cap from the camera. August from IT was brought in to see why the camera isn't recording anything. He's just standing there in stunned silence. He will not be getting Cat Burger for dinner. Stuart: GREAT WORK, SIR! Highly relatable.
