I imagine the grapes as sweet
A black-and-white illustration depicting a scene from Aesop’s fable “The Fox and the Grapes.” A fox sits on the ground, looking up longingly at several ripe grape clusters hanging from a high wooden trellis. The fox’s ears are perked and its posture suggests desire and frustration. The grapes are plump and shaded for emphasis, clearly out of reach. The vine wraps around two vertical wooden supports, with a few leaves at the top. The ground is bare, and the background is minimal, drawing attention to the gap between the fox and the grapes.

This is the kind of engineers we need more of:
An image of plank, a character who is a plank of wood from the cartoon show ed, edd, and eddy. it’s a simple wooden board with a hand-drawn face: red and blue eyes with a blue smile. its rough, uneven edges and crack add to its quirky charm.

Please consult the graph. The left has forgotten how to organize like it used to in the past, and a part of that is converting centrists to your side. Considering that Trump won the popular vote, clearly what the left is currently doing isn’t working.

this is a diagram representing the “spectrum of allies,” commonly used in social movement theory to map stakeholders’ varying degrees of support or opposition. it’s depicted as a semicircle divided into five sections: 1. active allies (far left): individuals or groups actively supporting your cause. 2. passive allies: supportive but not engaged in action. 3. neutral (center): indifferent or undecided individuals/groups. 4. passive opposition: those who disagree but don’t act against you. 5. active opposition (far right): actively working against your cause. the arrows show strategies to shift groups toward active allyship, with movement predominantly toward the left of the spectrum.

I would agree if not for Casey Affleck’s performance in Manchester by the Sea, I think he would have been better as Leo’s character
100% on Jack Nicholson but I can’t think of who would replace him
A screenshot of a scene from the movie Manchester by the Sea. The main character played by Casey Affleck is in an office in a police station wearing a green hoodie with word “Pratty’s” in a writing font on it. His hair is disheveled and his face has an expression of immense grief barely contained.
