FBI's most wanted photoshop disaster

sqbr: "Creative genius" with an arrow pointing to a sketch of me (genius!)

So something I wonder about sometimes is the ethics behind giving references for the reference images used to make art, and how much use one can (legally or ethically) make of an image that is copyrighted rather than creative commons or public domain.

Apparently the FBI don't worry about this so much.

I always feel weird going out on a limb about American racism in case I'm missing some cultural cue.

But equating the segregation of African Americans with "intolerance" towards devils and evil feels ever so slightly off to me. I mean that sort of metaphor is always a bit problematic, but usually it's not quite such an explicit equating-ness(*).

I am reminded of why I try not to read Sinfest. It sucks me in with the adorable drawing style and cute humour, and then bats me around with it's creepy attitudes towards gender etc.

(*)"Equality" has too much of a double meaning for this sentence :)

I keep hearing about these terrifying irrational anti-government American conspiracy theorists, yet all the Americans I meet online seem pretty in touch with reality (even the Republicans are VERY ASHAMED of the tactics being used) But then today I encountered this post on claymaker, a community for discussing making stuff out of clay. Text below since I imagine it will be deleted (it's ever so slightly off topic).

I think the thing that offends me most is the anti-vaccination rhetoric. That sort of attitude kills babies >:/ EDIT: Wait, no, it all offends me
