That “war” lasted approx. 2000 years, so it can't really be called war. Still, it's all very interesting because the male genes passed along after this mostly belonged to the aggressive type, which would in turn explain the last few thousand years of history. So idk, perhaps we should all relax now?

My top 99comics, #67. The Saga of Vam by Igor Kordey and Vladimir Colin is a fantasy series about a man betrayed by gods. It's a story taking place in an imagined universe, that feels like one of the great mythological stories by ancient people from our own history.

The best way to watch Star Wars, in proper order:
1. Star Wars the original trilogy (the original cut, no CGI weirdness, Han shoots Greedo, period)
2. Andor
3. Rogue One
And that's it.
I just watched it that way, and it was beautiful.

My top 99 comics, #68. Ici Meme (You Are There) by Jean-Claude Forest and Jacques Tardi is a satire about a small island, where landowners have taken the land from the heir of a wealthy family, reducing him to life atop the walls that border these patches of land he used to own.

Now that you mentioned it, he does look alike.

Ha! Hope it's a happy one :D

A reason to close your eyes: The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi.
My favourites, each a different experience:
Anne-Sophie Mutter with Herbert von Karajan, Rachel Podger with Brecon Baroque, Giuliano Carmignola with Venice Baroque Orchestra, and finally Nigel Kennedy with English Chamber Orchestra

My top 99 comics, #69. Calvin & Hobbes was a daily comic strip created by Bill Watterson, syndicated between 1985 and 1995. Set in the suburban United States, the strip follows the humorous antics of Calvin, a mischievous six-year-old boy, and his friend Hobbes, a plush tiger.

Ex-world leaders call for ‘powerful shift’ as they warn of extreme inequality Former leaders urge current state heads to work together to end poverty amid potential of first trillionaires emerging

Would be nice if something like this was seriously considered, but our reality seems to be in a tight grip of sociopathic oligarchs and their “public” servants.

A reason to feel with your eyes: Mark Demsteader

That's interesting, never seen that version. Assuming these are the ones you saw. Weird stuff for sure: www.reddit.com/r/TerribleBo...

A reason to let words rearrange you: Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

Then I salute your taste!

My top 99 comics, #71. Torpedo 1936 is a series by Enrique Sánchez Abulí and Jordi Bernet, which tells the adventures of a hitman and his sidekick, in the context of the violent organized crime culture of New York City during the Great Depression era.

Yeah, miniseries are better in general, though there are some great long-runners out there, like The Wire, or Sopranos.

But I mean, I've invested enough of my life into shows that got me hooked just to become stinkers towards the end (e.g. the four pics I posted), so that I'd rather not any more.

Fair enough. Myself, I don't like plots invented out of nowhere so the show could run longer, characters that grew on me just becoming someone else because it serves the aforementioned plots, inconsistent writing.. You know, destroying a good story, so more money could be made. Not my cup of tea.

The only sensible approach to watching TV shows these days: wait until the whole thing has been released, then check ratings for the final season's finale. Because it doesn't make sense to invest your time into something that started great, but then producers saw the opportunity to milk it dry.

Rebetiko (Self Made Hero) by David Prudhomme

My top 99 comics, #72. Rebetiko (Self Made Hero) by David Prudhomme is a story of 1936 Athens, Greece, where a group of Rebetiko musicians wind their way through the backstreets, taverns, and market squares dodging the police while settling disputes over hashish and women.

This is the aftermath of a brutal attack on Ivica the Space Hamster's ship while they were enjoying breakfast on their first ever expedition into the outer reaches. I was there, on the attackers' ship, so I had the privilege of commemorating the event with this drawing. I'm afraid no one survived.

Teach each peach peace?

Tarzan Sunday strip by Bob Lubbers_March 29, 1953

Tiura dominical de Tarzan, de 29 de março de 1953. Arte de Bob Lubbers

Let me be clear What’s happening in Los Angeles right now is not only morally reprehensible—it’s legally indefensible. This is a sanctuary city, a designation that was democratically voted on and enacted into law by the residents of this city—not by political opportunists grandstanding from a golf course in Florida. Let’s be clear: being undocumented in the United States is not a criminal offense. It is a civil violation. That means it holds the same legal weight as running a stop sign on a bicycle, setting off a firework after a drink, or selling unlicensed fan merch on Etsy. It is subject to civil penalties—typically a fine—not imprisonment, not detention, and certainly not extrajudicial abduction. Dragging someone off the street at gunpoint, without a warrant or due process, and forcing them into an unmarked vehicle operated by armed, plainclothed agents is not law enforcement—it is armed kidnapping. And armed kidnapping is a felony—a real one. So if you’re going to obsess over who is “illegal,” start by looking at the heavily armed individuals violating constitutional protections under the guise of enforcing the law. Because what they’re doing is criminal, not the people they’re targeting. @josecorella

Brody King shared a post about what is happening in LA right now on Instagram. #AEW 🤼

So that's what the crack's for..

Lots and lots of people believe that the Earth is flat, global warming is a hoax, and 5G was used to spread COVID. Beliefs don't really matter, what matters are facts. And the fact is that the state of Israel is committing genocide over Palestinian people. Same horror that Nazis inflicted on them.

A beautiful interpretation of one of the most beautiful songs ever. Seems appropriate today considering the people of Los Angeles are under attack by fascists.
