Perfect illustration of how additive color (light) works.
Peace and love!

Is it just me or the translators, or every single literature originally written in French screams “I was written in French”? Reading one after like 3 years and it’s just Frenching Frenchly
"Another problem is the impulsiveness and oversensitiveness of Romance languages, which brings exalted, superlative expressions that are quite unusual in Czech texts: "after a year of heavenly bliss and inexhaustible passion" (Maupassant), "I suffer tremendously" (same source); oversensitive "je souffre" in general is common in French prose. Even more distant to us is sometimes the Spanish pathos." (Jiří Levý, The Art of Translation)
So yeah, the books are Frenching Frenchly
I am once again thinking about digging holes
It's so fucked up that digging a bunch of holes works so well at reversing desertification
I hate that so much discourse into fighting climate change is talking about bioenginerring a special kind of seaweed that removes microplastics or whatever other venture-capital-viable startup idea when we have known for forever about shit like digging crescent shaped holes to catch rainwater and turning barren land hospitable
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
hey boss i can't come in today it's a sunny day and there's a lovely breeze coming in through my window, yeah it's rustling the branches of the tree outside that's finally bloomed so it's pretty serious
well now i need a Dungeon Meshi/The Adventure Zone crossover comic with a cultural exchange program where one side brings healthy, meticulous fantasy!Japanese cuisine and the other side brings the most atrocious processed fantasy!American garbage with an ingredients list full of arcane curses
ok it's out of my system now
check out this mug i got at the UMMA
the gift shop was like "do you want to purchase dishes with cute kitties on them" and i was like I DO TT__TT I DO WANT DISHES WITH KITTIES ON THEM
fervently assuring that my devotion to another woman is purely platonic while my associates just keep pulling out polaroids of the two of us where we have the utena rose overlay to my increasing dismay
what the fuck is happening at studio trigger???
A graphic from Mad magazine #182 from April 1976. The larger piece this comes from is "A Mad Portfolio of Some Idealists' Dreams" by Arnoldo Franchioni.
I have been starting to visit and revisit Mad following the discovery of a huge box of old issues in the storage unit of my wife's late uncle. Some of this stuff has aged rather interestingly.
