Just look at this li’l guy. I love how the shape of the brush is obviously a stiff circle, like the basic brush in a paint program. (It was probably, basically, a stick, dipped repeatedly in watery slip.) It’s easy to imagine and perform the set of strokes to draw himb.

A little mouse drawn with fat lines with rounded ends — short segments for four legs and ears, a slightly longer one for the tail, a small hump for the head and a big hump for the body, the body then filled in. Adding a pointy nose to the head and a little segment for an eyeball finishes the character. It’s a detail from a photo of an earthenware bowl in the quoted post. These little mice dance around the rim of the bowl, which looks a lot like a modern child’s cereal bowl.

Terrorism law is a special body of law which should be taken seriously. The UK government’s proscription of Palestine Action discredits terrorism law.

After every major crime there's a window where the right are desperate for the perpetrators to be brown, so they can have a little pogrom as a treat. Can't violence-enthusiasts have a traditional hobby instead, like beating each-other up, let's say on a Saturday, after watching some football?

I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077, finding Johnny Keanureeves more than a little grating. I haven't warmed to V or the "everyone is a grimy bastard" writing. BUT I do think it's vaguely fun and not as alienating as RDR2. I hear great things about Liberty City. Is the DLC different enough to be worth it?

I _dislike_ horror normally. stupid people doing stupid things that put them in the worse possible situation. went to see this at the cinema with the other half - she like horror but is meh on video game movies. suffice to say, we both enjoyed it. the horrors are truly monstrous.
