Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy.

Two of Onfim’s works. On the left is a copy of a passage from the Book of Psalms he did for schoolwork. On the right is an apparently autobiographical depiction of a monster labeled with “I am a wild beast.”

This is why we need a new, nonprofit or cooperative model for news. We can't base our sources of information on the goodwill of billionaires (or sadly, on our own government).

To be fair, the Bush Administration also didn’t have a plan for Iraq

Honestly impressed. He left no room for satire or parody!

Outlook for the new year ...

We gotta go to the UFOcon
