Typology of Screw Heads. (via Instructables)

Not a Catholic but when I thought to look up 'who could be next pope,' I did it thinking it was a bit morbid. Looking at the many, many news site who have already asked the same question, I guess I was being a little overly sensitive!

Five poems by Ukrainian writers that must be read by everyone. Some were written almost a hundred years ago, some just recently. Read them, share them, and continue to stand with Ukraine. daryazorka.substack.com/p/five-poems... #Ukraine

Wallace Shawn Emerges As Frontrunner To Replace Daniel Craig As James Bond

I have been so excited since I found out this would be announced today! RIP any ability for me to concentrate: www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2...

You know who Trump never calls a dictator? Putin. And he actually is a dictator. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Defending freedom and not going anywhere. Thank you to everyone who is standing with us! 💙💛

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

whenever i start to feel worried that i'm drawing my 16-year-old characters (especially the boys) too baby-faced due to watching so many teen dramas cast with 25-year-olds, i just look up what those actors looked like when they were actual kids. thank you, nailing it

1/ Russian warbloggers are furious about the catastrophic defeat of a Russian armoured column in the Kursk region, reportedly causing hundreds of casualties. They are bitterly critical of the commanders responsible. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/spec...

The first raising of the Canadian flag, replacing the Red Ensign flag 60 years ago today.

This is an obvious point that the US isn't too concerned about: they are the primary source of drugs coming into this country.

My apologies as i’m not hiding behind a skeleton mask or santa beard in this one.

My teen cast her first ballot ever (in a municipal referendum), but that doesn't mean I could get a serious pose from her! #yyj

Ukraine is the birthplace of the Hasidic Jewish movement and has deep roots in Jewish history stretching back more than a thousand years. Yet until recently, crucial sacred texts — including the Torah — have never been translated into Ukrainian.

Oops 😬

Beautiful model Moominhouse.

I can't tell you how much I wish this was in the budget!

Trump is following an old Chinese proverb: “Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.” @crof.bsky.social on how Canada can push back hard against Trump. 🐓

Imagine if America would go after Russia, China, and Iran the way they’re going after Canada, Denmark, and Panama.

My mood…

So last night an Amazon.ca delivery driver pulls up to an intersection, stops and gets out to make his delivery, blocking both through traffic and parking. Want to complain to Amazon? Good luck! After cycling thru a series of 'customer service' tabs I have to admit, I gave up. 1/2

Reminder that the BEASTS OF BURDEN OMNIBUS ships next month from @darkhorse.com. All the stories done so far in one book (inc 3 Eisner Winners), only $30 for nearly 600 pages of dogs and cats (and sometimes a raccoon. Oh, and HELLBOY once, which was nuts) vs the supernatural. You kinda need this.

Emmett McFarlane: If Trump imposes 25% tariffs on Canada next week, there is an expectation Canada will retaliate with tariffs of its own, on selected goods, in response. If this is the sum total of Canada’s response, it will not be enough.

Dear American friends, I just want to say, it is NOT 2016. Stop pretending it's 2016. Nothing that's going to happen should be a surprise. He's been president before and you voted for him anyway. You all share in the next four years.

Released this very day in 2004, a mere 21 yrs ago, the hugely missed Darwyn Cooke’s magnificent “DC: The New Frontier” # 1. Not just a truly great superhero comic, but a truly great comic full-stop. The work of a master.

That this was felt necessary is a sign of just how dark and bizarre the next four years will be.

The launch of the Liberal leadership races hasn't had a substantial effect--yet--with the Liberals gaining only 0.4 points in the polls. The Conservatives increased their lead by another 0.3. If an election were held today, we've have a Conservative gov't, with the Bloc as the official opposition.

In 1654, a fateful military pact with Moscow betrayed Ukraine’s bid for independence. Four centuries later, Putin exploits this same broken pledge to erase it from existence once more.

Aspirational pettiness.

I feel this

A boss:

I have seen the catalogue for this and it is fantastic! I am trying to spend less this year, but I am being sorely tempted! #comics #illustration
