The great race horse Hambletonian being rubbed down, c. 1800. Like having your portrait painted during a manicure or something. By George Stubbs, born on this day in 1724.

In 1979, Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed at the White House. Ronald Reagan had them removed. We may be able to trace back the current "Do Harmful Things if it Trolls the Libs" Republicanism to Reagan removing those panels the far more forward thinking Carter had installed.

Another thing I made this year: Real and implied birds.
A six-panel cartoon titled "real and implied birds". In the two panels in the top row, there's a rough legged-hawk sailing through the sky, next to a smooth legged hawk, which has smooth human legs. In the second row, there's a great-crested flycatcher looking dapper, next to an ok-crested flycatcher that has just a slightly less nice crest. In the third row, there's a mountain chickadee standing up on stones, next to a valley chickadee peeking out from a dip between stones. In the fourth row, there's a least bittern standing in some reeds, next to a most bittern that is enormous and stomping through a city, with people running in fear, helicopters overhead, and an overturned car on fire.

a little white and brown jack russell pup with a stumpy tail looks up and to her right innocently. she’s wearing a little mauve harness and standing on some dry dusty earth and desperately trying to play it cool. the sun is low in the sky behind her, making the sky a beautiful yellow and blue ombre.

lowest possible stakes trolley problem
illustration of a bunch of people in an elevator with LOTS of jpeg artifacting. accompanying text reads:
You are in an elevator on the 1st floor. Inside the elevator are 5 people going to the 4th floor.
 
Someone going to the 3rd floor is headed for your elevator. Another elevator is arriving soon.

Do you mash the close button? What if you make eye contact?

üpdate: the hog has grown to be much larger than the sun. bröther, may it have this final öat?
A 19th-century painting of a hog, edited so the hog is now flying in the middle of space, over a backdrop of darkness illuminated by a starlight sea. The Sun floats in the hog's shadow, though the hog has expanded to be many times larger than both it and all the planets in our solar system combined.

Top left: little guy, a regular looking back with a dark face and light colored fur, top right: little guy deluxe, a bat with a mask and large ears alongside a bat with a leaf shaped nose, bottom left: what is even going on here, a visored bat with a large forehead next to a bat with a large, wrinkly nose, bottom right: o hi doggie, a fruit bat with its tongue sticking out.
