I’m experimenting more with layering my colored pencils. It’s so satisfying! But also easy to overdo it, which is an eternal struggle I face as a digital artist without an undo button.

BREAKING: MS NOW EXCLUSIVE. Republican Eric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway. GOP Judiciary staff told Schmitt the texts — obtained from the Trump DOJ — were "unvetted." Schmitt still used them.
ms.now
Eric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway.
As Republicans on Capitol Hill try to figure out how Eric Schmitt’s bombshell fell apart so embarrassingly, it turns out he was warned that the texts were unvetted.

I took my little 60mm macro out yesterday and had a very nice walk in the gardens. It's always been one of my favorite lenses but since I can't really capture distant birds with it I don't take it out as much as I should. 😀 #RoseWednesday #Flowers #Bloomscrolling #Photography #Roses

His mother was detained. Two months later, 21 year old Samuel Gonzalez Terrones was dead. In his final note, he addressed the ICE agent who took her: “I hope it was worth it.” 💔 A federal judge later ordered his mother released after finding her detention unlawful. #SheShed #ICEOut

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

The Los Angeles Times is running a full webpage advertisement promoting tourism to Israel. The ad is backed by the Israeli Ministry of Tourism. The ad also includes a map of Israel that erases Palestine.
LA Times page promoting tourism to Israel
"Israel:

You'll Find It Here

Israel is a country shaped by ancient traditions and diverse cultures, where every region offers a distinctly different atmosphere. You can spend the morning walking ancient pilgrimage sites, the afternoon floating in serene waters or relaxing on the coast, and the evening eating your way through vibrant market stalls before heading out for a night that ends when the sun rises.



From sacred sites to desert adventures, these guides offer different ways to explore the country. There’s no single right way to experience it, so follow what interests you, mix and match along the way, and leave some room to wander."

Also includes a disclaimer from LATimes:
"This Paid Program is either (i) produced by the advertising department of the Los Angeles Times on behalf of the Advertiser or (ii) supplied by the Advertiser. The newsrooms or editorial departments of the Los Angeles Times are not involved. For those with questions, please email paidpost@latimes.com."

Todd Rundgren has seen everything — and the rock legend has thoughts about it all. He recently told us that Taylor Swift is "the apotheosis of mediocrity" who "doesn’t do anything particularly great except grow hair." Read the full interview here: vulture.visitlink.me/4koBYm
