'Coil’s penultimate studio album superficially seems more ordinary. One where they embraced more conventional song structures, including the wonderful take on English folk staple ‘All The Pretty Little Horses’'

A close-up photograph captures the striking gaze of a Serema bird, showcasing its unique features and curious expression against a soft-focus green backdrop. The key subject is a Serema bird, characterized by its long, slender neck and striking plumage. The bird's most notable features include its large, light blue eyes, which convey a sense of curiosity. It has a curved, reddish beak and a feathered crest on its head, adding to its distinctive appearance. The feathers on its neck and body appear to have a speckled, greyish color. The bird seems to be looking directly at the camera.

As the year comes to an end, I'm reposting some of the comics I made this year, including this ridiculous thing.
A six-panel comic. In the first panel, a yellow warbler says "Hey so I'm going to go out on a limb here." In panels two through five, the warbler hops along a long branch against a blue sky with clouds. In panel 6, it stops at the end of the branch and sings.

A Female Northern Cardinal in some nice late afternoon light. Sony a1 and 200-600, 1/2500s, f/7.1, ISO 1000. I had the shutter set high in case it took off. #birds #birdphotography #usbird 🦉 #birdsoftheworld #nature #wildlife #NaturePhotography #BirdWatching #photography
The soft light and green background offers a nice contrast to the red and orange of the Northern Cardinal. Not as colorful as a male, but still looks nice.

Four decades back a major label released a debut album that sounded like almost nothing on earth while still sounding incredibly familiar. Our man in San Francisco Ned Raggett takes stock of it all

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.
The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

It's over: I've already depicted you as the seething broad gauge train, and myself as the smug narrow gauge!
A sketch of two steam trains, human faces on the front. The title above them says 'The Broad Gauge and the Narrow Gauge'. The narrow gauge train is looking unbearably smug, then broad gauge absolutely raging. In the smoke, they are communicating, the broad gauge saying "You are a locomotive" and the narrow saying "You are another".
