I'm working on what will probably be my most detailed cartoon of 2025 (the photo shows about 25% of the cartoon).
I've been getting more and more comments recently on social media that my work is AI generated. It's not. It's all done by hand.

A malinense Oumou Sangaré é mais famosa pela música wassoulou (típica da África Ocidental), mas traz elementos de jazz em colaborações internacionais - especialmente nas partes improvisadas.
Sua poderosa voz e presença de palco fazem dela uma das artistas mais respeitadas da África.

Another gem - literally speaking this time - from today's trip to Sorø. The ring found in the grave of Archbishop Absalon of Lund (r.1177-92). The stone is a Sri Lanka sapphire, testifying to the wide reach of Afro-Eurasian trade networks in the Middle Ages.

This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively “we legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happened”

Abdul Karim, an Iraqi man living in Baghdad, decided to tackle desertification and the worsening climate in his country in his own unique way.
Instead of relying on words, he collected seeds from beneath street trees and planted them, transforming the mosque’s courtyard into a free nursery.
