New report from the Senate Judiciary Committee reviews ethics at the Supreme Court. Details the "gifts" to justices & explains how failures to report have thwarted transparency & made possible undue influence by plutocrats seeking their own goals.

Tony loves knights, and I think we know how Tony will react once he has seen Steve slay a dragon for him

Fan edit for the 2022 SteveTonyGames, using material from Avengers Prime #3, 2010. Original art by Alan Davis. Tony, naked on a horse, is galloping away from a fire-breathing dragon that is flying toward him. Steve, in a mailed tunic, is leaping from his own horse toward the dragon and is lifting a sword with both hands to attack the dragon.

All the news photos of President Biden sitting with Donald Trump during the latter's visit to the White House today seemed to be missing something essential. But I think I've fixed it now.
President Biden is seated in an armchair; opposite him visitor Donald Trump slouches forward in another armchair. Behind them is a fireplace with a roaring fire. In the upper corner behind President Biden, a bronze sculpture of Bobby Kennedy is on display. A speech bubble emerging from the sculpture says, "This is fine."

Feeling monstrous, but that's fine. It might be a good thing to emerge this way. I want my whole design visible in every facet.
