It is amazing when you hear a musician from some new genre band and they talk about the stuff they love and it is often from a big act of the era they were supposed to have rendered obsolete

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

A comic of three colourful foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green, and the third one is little blue, big blue's little brother. In this one, the shading is slightly sharper and brighter than in normal reality, as Blue, Green, and Blue's brother are playing a videogame.
Green: Just to warn you too, I have never played a videogame in my life.
Baby Blue: Yeah, I know.

Both Blue and his brother freeze in horror as Green turns around to look at a cute little purple potato on the ground. The potato has eyes, and is looking right back at Green. A health bar has appeared above Green, and another one beneath the little potato. The potato's health bar is significantly larger than Green's.
Green: A "healthbar" means it's aggressive, right?

Blue and his brother watch in horror as Green runs off.
Blue: Stop running into more of them!
Green: I'm trying to run away!

Blue and his brother watch in mild disappointment as something unseen but clearly unsavoury happens to Green outside of the panel's view. A text appears above them, saying "<Green_Fox has died of making bad choices>"

Note of sanity when viewing fantastic mini painting Never measure yourself against them (unless you're a competition level painter) Measure yourself against what you want to achieve. Is it something that looks the part on the table? It is! Cool. Look at it from 3 feet away, not 3 inches

That substantial portions of the European and US Left struggle with the idea that it is possible to condemn criminal actions by the Israeli government while also condemning the vicious brutality of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime continues to baffle me.

There are errors in judgement And then there is doubling down, attacking anyone who mentions the error, and those on a position to do something to ameliorate said error running away and hiding At that point, is it an error or a true reflection of policy?

A little, but I take them out, close the door, turn over, then put back Need a new oven though, new kitchen really, it seems obvious that there is a temperature gradient in it
