First of all, major thanks to @craftyindividual@lemm.ee for this brilliant community and their tireless efforts to share beautiful art. <3
Me, I happened to spot this piece at the evil empire the other day, did some searching, and found that it hadn't been shared here, before. Well then, well then..!
It was during his time in the western Pacific in 1944 as a combat correspondent with the United States 1st Marine Division during the invasion of the tiny island of Peleliu that Lea would really make a name for himself among the readers of LIFE. "My work there consisted of trying to keep from getting killed and trying to memorize what I saw and felt," he says.
Lea's vivid, realistic images of the beach landing, and Battle of Peleliu, would impact both readers and himself. The Price and That 2,000 Yard Stare would become among his most famous works. (1,794 Americans died in a two-month period in what many call the war's most controversial battle, due to its questionable strategic value and high death toll). --WP (click there for hi-res version)
As an alt, here's a more florid version of the color scheme that I chanced upon:
I may be missing something here
I would guess Larson wasn't a fan, and thought that "new age" practices were mainly performative and non-productive, leading practitioners to get stuck in repetitive little circles, getting nothing done in the end.
If so, it's a pretty cynical take IMO, and certainly one of his more personal, brassy ones.
I remember this craziness.
I remember that craziness because as a young adult, I was working nearby and saw the smoke clouds.
...and of course, it was all considered ok.
I'm unaware of anyone at all those days who considered it 'all okay.' On the contrary, it put a kind of national spotlight on Philly police' brutality going back to the Rizzo days, and doubtless contributed to Rizzo never being mayor again. And I think even amongst the folks who believed the bombing was justified, a large segment had to admit that it obviously went very, very wrong.
All that said-- yeah, as a nation I'm not sure we learned a damn thing out of all that. The police certainly didn't appear to.
Came here to make this point.
The CCP's version of "communism" is almost a textbook example to me of how an interesting system that can work beautifully on the local level can be completely betrayed and turned in to something much more like an oligarchy.
I don't understand how someone of reasonable knowledge and judgement could possibly be a tankie in 2024.
Kinda nasty that the artist credit got rubbed out.
So, altho I thought this was Jim Benton's work at first, I do believe this one is by Mike Jacobsen of Oz. His stuff from this era is here, and more modern stuff here:

Well then they'd have a plate of them, like tiny caviar. :D
At one point Dunn was considered by Gene Roddenberry for the part of Spock in The Cage. He was also originally considered for the role of Balok in The Corbomite Maneuver, but that part eventually went to Clint Howard. (source: These Are the Voyages)
Me, I really enjoyed Michael's work on this ep, as well as on Wild, Wild West, in which he evidently appeared ten times across four seasons!
In his lone appearance on Star Trek, he played Alexander to perfection, a chronically-abused 'runt-of-the-litter' who famously turns the tables on his abusers.

Sadly, he seems to have lived in constant pain across his life due to physical problems, ones which ultimately killed him at 38yo. This dude was an absolute boss as I reckon it.
There's also the running concept (or dada-ist joke) that Wondermark's dodos are completely obsessed with the concept of time, with the implication being that they squandered their time in life, perhaps ultimately aiding in their extinction.

I think it's a nested joke, where that one game totally dominates the kid's free time, with the clueless parents thinking that's the only relevant game in existence.
Doesn't sound that far from Shepard's Pie though, a tasty dish beloved by zillions.
I'm going with William Windom:

Personal notes: across all TV and media, I've rarely seen a character go from totally sympathetic, to total heel-turn villain, to total martyr like that.
In terms of ST series, maybe Dukat from DS..?
Mark Lenard as the Romulan commander
Robert Walker as "Charlie X"
Roger C. Carmel as "Harry Mudd"
Daggit, I know I'm forgetting some actors, here...
And then all they do is pay for the bare cost of the ingredients.
They could have tipped an extra $1000 and made a lot of people cheer. But no....
both choices suck
What puerile nonsense.
Trump already demonstrated that he was a complete disaster and Russian asset, and I hate linking to the evil empire, but:
How are WE the fools???
We're the fools because capitalism was never going to fix this issue on its own, therefore it came down to the voting populace to become better-educated on this stuff, spread that awareness as much as possible, vote every year for representatives that take CC seriously, and to contact our local / regional representatives as often as possible, asking them what their solutions were.
As the primary mechanism in terms of creating such vital change, we've done a fraction of that over the decades. Now here we are.
Thanks, Blaze.
Appreciate. ^^
