Ohhhh... That's also decimate. it means both now, thanks to "semantic drift," a term I just learned.

A mechanic stands at a car's open engine compartment, holding a carburetor, stating "I found the source of the fluttering noise... The carburetor supposedly has a butterfly in it! So I just went ahead and took that out."

An elderly character gestures at a younger person with his cane, stating: "When I was your age, we had to get up every day before the crack of dawn, walk fifteen miles up hill just to fetch water- the only thing we had to eat for breakfast, by the way- carry it home, and then we would ALL DIE!"

It's so stupid that Earnest didn't just use 23 and me. Would have solved the whole problem so much sooner.

What's Wrong With Police Unions? In an era of declining labor power, police unions stand as a rare success story for worker organizingโ€”they exert political clout and negotiate favorable terms for their members. Yet, despite broad sup...

This piece from the Colorado law school lends nuance I do believe respects both of our sentiments:

scholar.law.colorado.edu/faculty-arti...

Journal page 1336 [pdf page 35] starts a good discussion on the responsibility tensions you highlight.

I do hope the other poster didn't mean Unions at large

Who's sneering? I support most unions. I can also criticize ineffective unions that use their perceived value as cover for poor leadership. (See UFCW) Besides-- the above post was laying blame at the feet of boys-club police unions, which they were absolutely correct about.

Unions aren't good by virtue of simply meeting the definition of a union. That's like saying "Drugs are generally used to treat medical conditions. Drugs are good"

Poster for Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter shows in black and white a hooded figure menacing a young woman, the figure of Kronos coming to the rescue, and in the background a man and a woman holding a large cross, and a large house with bats flying around. The name of the film is written in red, there is a red border, and in red at the top the tagine 'The only man alive feared by the walking dead.'

Tonight's ๐Ÿ“ฝ A revisit to glorious late-period Hammer horror Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter (1974, dir. Brian Clemens). Horst Janson and Caroline Munro lead a great cast including John Carson. It's brilliantly, thrillingly weird, stuffed full of beautiful frames, black humour, action and invention.

Been a wee bit overwhelmed lately. I just wanted to get myself to paint something, anything today. Maybe have some fun with an abstract background.

I used a dip pen to acrylic ink my latest gouache landscape-- and somehow, somehow, I didn't spill, splatter, bleed, or print the ink anywhere. Absolutely stunned.

Am I ready to make a comic book page? Probably not, but that won't stop me from trying!

You can also do a midtone wash over graphite-- I always recommend painting on something fully toned so there arent any "sparkles" of the original white background

Latest mockup of a cartoon background for a long-time pet project of mine.

I definitely feel like all my efforts in plein-air have helped my colors out a lot!

Reminds me of the liberal private school I went to for a year-- which responded to the school bully stealing someone's skateboard with, you guessed it, buying him a skateboard.

He sold the skateboard.

I went for a more expressionist color pallette this time, and had some fun with it!

What they mean is they can pretend like Ke$ha now. It was never about putting in their licks or they would have been practicing this entire time. Not to say a day job doesn't drain you-- but suno doesnt fix that.
