I know it's like the least important fact about that whole mess, but technically, the Dept of War isn't the old name of the Dept of Defense. The Dept of War became the Dept of the *Army*, which now falls *under* the Dept of Defense

They even still use a version of the same seal

Seal of the United States of America War Office (i.e. the Department of War). It is black and white. Quoting the Army Institute of Heldalry: 'In the center is a Roman cuirass below a vertical unsheathed sword, point up, the pommel resting on the neck opening of the cuirass and a Phrygian cap supported on the sword point, all between on the left an espontoon and on the right a musket with fixed bayonet crossed in saltire behind the cuirass and passing under the sword guard. To the left of the cuirass and esponton is a national color of the Revolutionary War period with cords and tassels, on a flagstaff with spearhead, above a cannon barrel, the muzzle end slanting upward behind the cuirass, in front of the drum, with two drumsticks and the fly end of the flag draped over the drumhead; below, but partly in front of the cannon barrel, is a pile of three cannon balls. To the right of the cuirass and musket is a flag of unidentified designs with cords and tassels, on a flagstaff with spearhead, similarly arranged above a mortar on a carriage, the mortar facing inward and in front of the lower portion of the color and obscuring the lower part of it; below the mortar are two bomb shells placed side by side. Centered above the Phrygian cap is a rattlesnake holding in its mouth a scroll inscribed "This We'll Defend". Centered below the cuirass are the Roman numerals "MDCCLXXVIII".'

The modern seal of the Department of the Army. It is a colored version of the War Office seal, except the date now reads 1775 in Hindu-Arabic numerals.

Pulling this from the archives like I do every year. Happy Labor Day! ✊🏽🌹

A two-panel strip of my fursona Addy, a feral Chihuahua-mix, wearing a hoodie and a flat cap, holding a piece of a picket fence on a pole as if it were a sign. They quote the opening lines of the song "The World Will Know" from *Newsies*.

In the first panel they yell out "Pulitzer and Hearst, they think they got us."

In the second panel they say, "Do they got us?!"

Some photos of the burnt building by UNLV

Closer look at the burnt strip mall building. In the lower left you can see the words UNITED STATES, the POST OFFICE letters having fallen off

One of the things I pushed for *hard* when we were organizing the first LVFC was that we'd find a local union shop to print the badges so we could proudly display that union bug

I have no idea how many people appreciated or even noticed that little symbol, but I do love to see it's still there

A close up of the union bug in the lower right corner of the badge. It reads:

ALLIED PRINTING
TRADES COUNCIL
UNION LABEL
NEVADA

PDQ PRINTING, LAS VEGAS

I've always adored the All Dogs Go to Heaven style where the characters still look very feral even when they're on two legs

So my Sam's Club happened to have Elgin sticks of butter (bottom) for some reason and holy crap I didn't realize how different they are to West Coast butter sticks

Two sticks of button laid out top to bottom. The top stick is a thicker "Western stubby" style of such and while the bottom is the thinner Elgin style

Mozilla, keep doing this. I want more foxies in my fox-themed Internet browser
