I’m aghast how bad I did on this

And this feel like an oddly ironic conflict of interest

Character rodent I was doodling / made a model sheet of pretty recently

Matise? Felt maybe too alliterative “matise the mouse”

Some quick poses + bits of
another alligator I doodled

i like when the road becomes a train and also a ladder appears, and then the train is the platform, also when the guy just jumps in the air for some reason

Almost like how Forbes 30 under 30 eventually became a list of people convicted for fraud

30 under 30-year sentences: why so many of Forbes’ young heroes face jail

Ex-CEO Charlie Javice, 31, is just the latest from the magazine’s list to see criminal charges

I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.

While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:

I know this has been pointed out and mentioning it isn't going to stop the abuses because "oh no, the hypocrisy!" but the military is banned from using tear gas in war, but cops can at home. And now a heavily armed paramilitary is regularly using it at home.

The incident is marks the third straight day that federal agents have deployed tear gas against Chicagoans and the seventh time in 22 days.

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

ANNOUNCEMENT: So for the last few months i’ve been hard at work on a novel, and therefore don’t have anything new in the way of detective stories, or anything else.

But I wanted to put *something* out there, so this is a quick little 5 minute humor piece.

I saw more people of age demographics that actually vote, and found that inspiring

Anecdotal but at least 2/5 or 1/2 the people around me were at least over 50, if not 45. Over 60s are the largest voting block, at least in recent elections in chicago

Also if any news orgs are looking for a seasoned reporter with experience covering both button down shirt courts-and-meetings stuff, and press vest-and-helmet stuff like street protests, my DMs are open.
