You asked a question, and I answered it.

The image is one panel from a larger comic by Matt Bors.

In the background, a medieval castle. A gaunt peasant carrying a bundle of sticks says, "we should improve society somewhat."

A man in a orange T-shirt with short hair and a big grin pops out of a well to say, "and yet you participate in society. Curious! I am very intelligent."

I’m about to have a surplus of raven drawings. I bought some nice cards to put them on, and from now on every patron giving more than €15 per month gets one raven drawing in the mail, with a note on the back of the card. freethoughtblogs.com/oceanoxia/20...

The image is a sideways drawing of a raven, made with stippling (lots of small dots). It's perched on a branch, and while its head is a little too big, th drawing captures the shagginess that I feel personifies ravenhood.

The image is a sideways drawing of a raven, made with stippling (lots of small dots). It is flying from right to left, with the wing closer to the viewer near the top of the card, and the other in shadow near the bottom. The proportions are good but the feet leave a lot to be desired.

The image is a sideways drawing of a raven, made with stippling (lots of small dots). It's perched on an invisible branch, body facing to the right, and head turned to look left as it looks at the viewer.

The image is a photo of Amal Khalil.

She is wearing a white button-down shirt, under a loose-fitting bulletproof vest with the word "Press" across the chest. She is smiling and holding up one hand in a peace sign, in front of rubble.

Well, I'm out of the bathroom regardless. Making breakfast.

The image shows one corner of a room, with white or pale yellow walls, covered in what appears to be blood. There is a blood-civwred framed painting, and a blood-civwred side table with a lamp and mini-TV, neither of which seem to have blood on them. A text box at the bottom of the image says, "caption this with the 2nd to last text you sent"

Who needs two hands to write? What really matters is my calling as a heated body pillow.

A chunky cat is sleeping on a couch, between a human's right arm and leg. His four is brindled black and gold-brown, but for his white arm and paw, clinging to the arm, and white on his face and neck.

It's obviously not visible, but he's breathing heavily in his sleep

This is an XKCD comic.

Panel 1: a stick figure with a microphone yells, "your government has turned against you! Corporations control your every thought! Open your eyes!"

Panel 2: same guys yells, Wake up sheeple! Wake up sheeple! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

Panel 3: there is an Eldritch "ba-a-a-a as a sheep person rises from the ground holding a staff.

Panel 4: a closeup of the Sheeple's eye as it says, "ten thousand years we slumbered... Now we riiiiise"

Panel 5: a smaller, femme stick figure says, oh God oh God oh God WHY DID YOU DO THAT?" To which the megaphone guy says, "What? But I don't -"

In the background, people scream, "he awoke the sheeple!" "Heaven forgive us!" "All is lost!"

Name a film with a Black protagonist Underrated classic:

It's a poster for the 1984 movie, The Brother from Another Planet. It shows the main character, played by Joe Morton, standing in the foreground in baggy orange clothes, looking concerned. The NYC skyline is behind him in black and a pale blue-purple that's hard to make out at times against the blue-purplish background. The film's title is in yellow across the lower third, the Statue of Liberty is shown next to the main character, along with the tagline, "He's not just another out-of-towner...

Cops are highly trained to spot threats the rest of us might miss. They know how dangerous musicians can be!

Masks and respirators have long been a part of the cyberpunk aesthetic, because genre always involves bloodthirsty corporate overlords driving massive amounts of pollution. Perhaps it's time to start updating our wardrobes.

Captain Barbossa from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, but he's been given a hat, collar, and visor that glow neon, and there's a cityscape in the background. The text says, "You best start believing in cyberpunk dystopias... You're in one"

The image is a page from the manga Uzumaki: Spiral into Horror.

In a previous panel, a young couple has twisted their bodies together like mating snakes, to keep their families from separating them. They twisted so much they turned into a single, living rope with only their heads separate to identify them. In the first two panels, the girl says "Stop it father. We're never going to be apart," and the boy agrees: "That's right... forever..." They slither away across the beach and into the ocean as family and friends watch in disbelief and horror, and the narrator says, "that was the last we saw of them before they disappeared into the sea."

The image is a closeup of an artistic reconstruction of the face of the prehistoric creature Sacabambaspis, looking shocked (which is its default state). The text reads: Sacabambaspis (along the top) Did not expect this! (along the bottom).
