Hello new followers, welcome! A quick intro of me:
Hi, I'm a full time fantasy artist in the PNW with heavy focus on dragons, landscapes and sometimes animals, usually birds. I work in watercolor and gouache mostly but will do lino cuts and some sketches and ink.

Bari Weiss to the CBS News staff:

This Christmas Eve, I’m making sure to put the “ban” in “the banality of evil”
Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."

One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

It is the War of 1812, except that the Americans have inexplicably decided to pull down the White House themselves before the Royal Navy can get it done.

When I was a newspaper reporter decades ago and my right-wing newspaper publisher killed my stories at the request of his pals at the Chamber of Commerce, I would call local television stations and tip them off so they got the story. Then I would watch my "exclusive" story air on the 10 p.m. news.
