The God of Evolution designs the MK1 Elephant, later discontinued by David Wyatt
Some of the details in this could be gory or lean towards horror art, but it has a lightness that keeps it comic. The anatomical & workshop details make it an almost scientific WIP.

“Thus proving that dreams that come true are not always the right dreams. Does wearing a glass slipper lead to a comfortable life? If everything you touch turns into marshmallows, won’t that make things a bit . . . sticky?” ― Terry Pratchett

Last year, the FTC banned two Big Oil executives from serving on the boards of oil giants Exxon and Chevron after it found they colluded to fix gas prices.
Trump’s FTC just overturned that ban.
His regime is rubber-stamping corporate corruption.

For 6 months, Dem leaders have downplayed or refused to frontally address many of Trump's worst abuses by saying those are "distractions" from the Dems focusing on economic issues. But as Trump's tax bill is being voted on, Jeffries is attacking a Dem ...over a phrase that Dem doesn't even use.

I’m still surprised that in a nation drowning in guns and “stand your ground” rationalizations, none of these masked kidnappers have been shot at yet.
I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
