Comic. [Two people flailing high in the air. Three people on the ground running ahead of them. Arrows and a dotted line indicate that this second group is within roughly one body length of the surface.] [caption] The “ground effect” explains why sprinters can run most efficiently if they stay within roughly one body length of the surface.

I'm gathering good roasts for a thing....what are the best clean/not punching down ones you know? Or your kids know? Kids often know best on these matters. Every joker who replies with a picture of some roast lamb will be stopped. Perhaps not today. But one day. I mean insults and you know that.

Seed Shanty
Song birds sing a sea shanty aboard a schooner boat loaded to the deck with bags of seed: “Seed, Seed, Seed! All the seed we need!”

Captain Robin Cornwallis has seen something through his spy-glass which causes him grave concern, even as the singing continues (“On this we are agreed…”)Spyglass view: A pirate ship approaches. At every level of the ship, it is crawling with scurvy, rascally squirrels, each with their eyes aimed at the bird’s ship. “Seed, seed, seed!” the crew continues.

we're facing existential threats from inattentive or lazy work, as well as burnout, fatigue, low sleep — stuff that requires the kind of regulation of working conditions that the tech industry has been ambivalent on, because management was psychotic and workers were happy with the fancy cafeteria

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?

Pen and watercolor. Two fools wander through an open field. The tall one dressed in a carrot costume and the short one dressed in an apple costume. Their hands are out to their sides to maintain balance. Carrot speaks, “You feel the ground shaking?” In the distance, we see a massive herd of wild horses thundering towards them. Hooves pound the ground racing to carrot and apple. By the time our boys realize their mistake it could be too late. Where are they going? Why wander dressed as horse treats? Things to consider. Artist’s note: Most of my drawings are black & white and I tend to use color sparingly. Hilary Knight, the illustrator of the Eloise books, is a big influence on both my linework and color use.

Doing a GoT rewatch and it's good This time around I think a theme I'm picking up is that just because someone else is dishonourable doesn't mean you can be. People are punished more for "smaller" acts of dishonour made in amidst larger honourable endeavours

Panel 1-
Scorpion- Sorry! Sorry! I didn't choose this!
woman- what?

Woman- Well don't do it then. Open a florist or something.

Panel 5
Scorpion- Wait you can just do that?

Panel 6
Market tent. It's a florist's and the scorpion stands behind the counter. A man browses the flowers.

The man holds up flowers
Man- These jonquils are pathetic

Panel 8

Scorpion- Shut the fuck up don't ever disrespect the flowers

Flower- Damn straight
