If you're going to be tacky, at least commit to the bit!

A Mr. Global USA contender, looking like an atrocious hybrid between an eagle, an American flag, and the statue of liberty. His outfit is revealing, like he's a patriotic He-Man character.

The reason why I get so furious at the people who use "Soviet" and "Russian" interchangeably is because there were a lot of non-Russian Soviets who fought in the Red Army and the Russian Federation wants you to think they're all Russians

ELRIC AT THE FORGE OF FOREVER (2019)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 14 ½” x 6 ½”

When I tossed out the old container of paints used to do the cover painting for WORDS OF RADIANCE, it landed upside down in my wastebasket on a piece of paperboard I had been using as a palette for something else. 1/2

Elric stands on an outcrop of rock with skulls at his feet. He wears a black hooded cloak trimmed in gold and jeweled bracers. He cradles Stormbringer as the length of the runesword, glowing purple, extends well above his head. Below him water spills frothy onto the shore but as it stretches back, placid and glassy, it gives way to erupting vents of lava.

Also check out these reconstructions of medieval Norse clothing made by the National Museum of Denmark, and this blog post that discusses it in detail:

This is how "vikings" actually dressed like (a prince in this case). Not that black and brown biker jacket nonsense they are depicted like these days. Colour! People always liked colour!!

No medieval filter here! A modern recreation of a Viking ruler for Denmark’s National Museum, based on the depiction of Cnut in the New Minster Liber Vitae and on clothes found at a grave in Mammen, Denmark. #medievalsky

i don't think there's any way to productively use them. "win a majority and appoint judges who will mulch those powers immediately" is, i think, the ideal outcome.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
