When I was about 8 or 9 years old, I checked out a collection of Mickey Mouse comic strips from my local library, which led to me asking my Mom, out of the blue as far as she was concerned, "What's opium?"

specifically the modern insult usage stems from the sequel, Chud 2: Bud the Chud. in the first film the chud was one guy in a shitty monster suit. in the sequel though it was stupid idiots wandering around town and breaking stuff, causing problems. human vermin that need to get put down

the sweet spot for a hit tweet is 200 likes, you get the lil dopamine rush from the attention but then it fades before things get annoying, stressful, and/or threatening. anything actually viral that gets like five figure retweets puts the eye of sauron on you and no amount of dopamine is worth that

Jessica: The WSJ is reporting that there are incentives for ICE Agents because they need to meet that insane 3,000 people per day quotaโ€”they are getting rewarded even if they bring in people who then get releasedโ€ฆ

A watercolour from 1999 showing Bridge Street in Cambridge going up to Magdalene bridge over the Cam.

Another old Cambridge street watercolour, done sitting on the low wall at the front of St John's. This is Bridge Street with autumn coming on. Someone wearing a gown is cycing along. Sold a while ago and scanned from a film photo of the original.

Yep. Trump works for Putin. And Putin is smiling. Because Trump is doing exactly what Putin wants him to do.

Watercolour painting of three fieldfares among a berry-covered winter hawthorn, with a vague vista of purple tree-covered hills behind them.

Fieldfares in the hawthorns at Sutton Bank, North Yorkshire (UK). These beautiful thrushes are winter visitors to the UK, though numbers vary. Itโ€™s impressive how such large, striking birds can almost vanish among a tangle of branches, berries and grey winter sky. Watercolour painting.
