Best of luck out there today to everyone involved.

A life without #dogs is possible but pointless!

A tiny yet marvellous figurine of a dog (height 1.6 cm) made of blue glass and decorated with yellow and white threads. The unique figurine was found in a Celtic burial at Wallertheim, Rhineland-Palatinate, dating 2nd c. BC.

It all comes back to the corrupting influence of money in politics. Get it out!

Screenshot of an X.com post by Senator Chris Van Hollen (@ChrisVanHollen) marking “16 years ago today” that SCOTUS decided Citizens United, saying it enabled unchecked secret money in politics and urging reversal, with a photo of Van Hollen speaking in an office with a Maryland flag behind him.

Coming January 27 from Intrada Records, a 2-CD set of music by Ron Jones from "DuckTales." I produced this set with John Takis.

DuckTales is an American animated television series produced by Walt Disney Television Animation.
Based on Uncle Scrooge and other Duck universe comic books created by Carl Barks, the show follows Scrooge McDuck, his three grandnephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and close friends of the group. Most episodes involve various adventures, most of which either involve seeking out treasure or thwarting the efforts of villains seeking to steal Scrooge's fortune or his Number One Dime.

When Donald Duck decides to join the US Navy, he enlists his uncle Scrooge McDuck to look after his nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Although he is reluctant to do so due to their hyperactivity, along with his continual pursuit of increasing his wealth and maintaining harsh business ethics, he takes them into his manor. Eventually, he warms up to them upon them proving their skills and brings them on several adventures. Scrooge McDuck is well known for his characteristic Scottish accent, spats, and top hat. We later learn in the series his family comes from Castle McDuck, a large but mysterious castle. He came to America when he was young by creating shoe-shinning machines, learning how to "work smarter not harder". In addition to them, the show features frequent appearances by Gyro Gearloose, an established comic book character, as well as guest appearances by Donald in the first season – this was either a full appearance, or in a cameo scene when Scrooge and his nephews read letters he sends to them, and a few minor appearances by Scrooge's old flame, Glittering Goldie, whose character was adapted from the comic books. The show introduced new characters to the Duck universe; while some were minor including the nanny Mrs. Beakley, whom Scrooge hires to babysit the nephews; Mrs. Beakley's granddaughter Webby; Scrooge's pilot Launchpad McQuack; Doofus Drake, an admirer of Launchpad and a close friend of the nephews; and the McDuck Manor butler, Duckworth.

The second season later introduced three new additional characters as part of the show's stories: "caveduck" Bubba Duck and his pet triceratops Tootsie; and Fenton Crackshell, Scrooge's personal accountant who secretly works as a superhero named Gizmoduck.

The second season later introduced three new additional characters as part of the show's stories: "caveduck" Bubba Duck and his pet triceratops Tootsie; and Fenton Crackshell, Scrooge's personal accountant who secretly works as a superhero named Gizmoduck.

The show's primary villains consist of those from the comics: Flintheart Glomgold, who seeks to replace Scrooge as the "richest duck in the world"; the Beagle Boys, who seek to rob Scrooge of his fortune and often target his money bin; and Magica De Spell, who seeks to steal his Number One Dime. A few changes were made to these villains – unlike the comics, Flintheart is of Scottish descent and wears a couple of pieces of Scottish attire, including a kilt; Magica, who is Italian in the comics, has an Eastern European accent, always saying "darling" (which shocks Scrooge in an episode when Magica changes into the form of Mrs. Beakly). She has a brother named Poe, who was transformed into a raven; the Beagle Boys have individual personalities and are headed by their mother, Ma Beagle, who sometimes springs them from jail to conduct schemes with her, but always avoids being caught by the police. The animated series also featured a list of minor villains, most of whom sought to either claim Scrooge's wealth or beat him to treasure.

After illegally abducting Maduro, Trump has just sold $250M of Venezuela's oil to Vitol.

John Addison, a senior trader at Vitol who helped broker the deal, gave $6M to Trump's 2024 campaign.

Pay-to-play imperialism.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

Autumn Fox: Photo of a sticker on a background of leaves. The sticker is matte vinyl of a cross fox surrounded by various autumnal mushrooms, leaves, some sticks, a millipede, and cattails, with a gold halo behind the head.

Werewolf eating the remains of a mauled human being. There is a mix of blood and saliva dripping from their mouth as they look towards the left, snarling. The werewolf is holding intestines in the right hand and a severed human arm in the left hand. Behind the werewolf’s head are phases of the moon and a rounded border.

Wolf head faving forward with red roses growinf out of the mouth and up and around its head. The thorns are drawing blood where they touch the skin. There is also a rose growing out of the left eye.

Unicorn in wearing a collar with teeth pointing towards the neck and a lion effigy affixed to the front. It has gold bracelets around its legs. Behind the unicorn’s head is a halo with floral designs inside of it
