The U.S. Senate on Wednesday failed to advance a war powers resolution aimed at curbing U.S. President Donald Trump's military operations against Iran, as Democrats and Republicans remain sharply divided over the issue.
In honor of your one year comic-aversary, what is one of your favorite things you've done with it so far?
HOO BOY WOLFWALKS HOPE YOU WERE READY FOR A WALL OF TEXT CAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GETTING
Augh this was actually really hard because every time I thought about it, I remembered another part of the comic I really like and am very very proud of. I actually have four panels (okay one image is more than one panel) I've kept isolated versions of just because I love them so much. Out of everything I've drawn so far for the comic or for CCC (the Clangen Creator Community discord server) events, these are my absolute favorites so far. Most of my comic's events are decided completely by the RNG of the game it's based on, so none of these panels were things I planned to have happen beforehand.
First up, from Moon 5 - the panel of Wetrush and Emberkit. Emberkit is four months old here, and still grieving the loss of Vervaincloud, her first friend in the Clan and also the former healer who died two months ago. A new healer (Nuggets) has just joined the Clan, but Emberkit doesn't know how much she actually knows about healing yet, and Vervaincloud taught her a good amount when he would talk to her. Emberkit wanted to be Vervaincloud's apprentice and eventually a healer herself. Instead of bothering Nuggets or possibly finding out Nuggets doesn't know what to do here, Emberkit took it upon herself to bring Wetrush the right herb for the job - dried feverfew! It's a very versatile little plant that can be used to alleviate many kinds of pain.
Second up comes another panel from the same moon. Slateswarm's position was very fun to draw here, because he has a long, lanky body type unique to him that no other cat in the Clan has shared thus far. He certainly didn't get it from his parents, who were both very fluffy, short, and stocky. It's not even an "oriental" body type - he's actually taller and longer than Nuggets, who is a purebred Oriental Longhair. Boy just lucked out with some recessive genes or something. As for Brokenkit, he's 5 months old here, and I really, really like his face and that outstretched paw's beans. He's a very reserved character whose only grievances are with a cat that everyone dislikes, and his calm demeanor meshes really well wish Slateswarm's… usually calm one.
Then there's this trio of panels from Moon 6. Batpatch is the clan mediator, a cat who helps others work through their emotional struggles or their issues with other cats, as well as interacting with other clans to help negotiate various things. Well. He's supposed to only be there to help, but given the clan leader's laziness, he often does most or all of the work negotiating with the other clans. Anyway, at this point, Emberkit is five months old. Next moon, she'll be made an apprentice with her siblings, but… she's still not okay. She hasn't been sleeping, has to be nagged to eat by her fathers/siblings/some of the adult cats who've been keeping an eye on her (Batpatch included), and hasn't been playing like kittens should. She's withdrawn, barely talks, is snappish when she does talk, and just overall is Not Okay. Developmentally she's roughly the equivalent of an 11-12 year old human here. She was about 4-5 when she found Vervaincloud's corpse. It Affected her.
As the mediator, and as a cat who cares about her (Batpatch has been very protective of her since her tiny larva ass wiggled out of the nursery and he stepped on her on Moon 1), Batpatch has been trying to get her to talk about what happened and how she feels so he can help her start to work through it. He never pushes, just asks a question or two, offers to listen, and then, like he does here, acknowledges that she isn't ready yet and moves to a different topic. Normally, he just sits there talking with her for a while while she says nothing and usually doesn't even look at him. He told her how KestrelClan came to be (TL;DR - massive fire drove three of the five clans out of their territories and those who couldn't be supported by the remaining two clans' territories ended up in a temporary territory in the unclaimed land north of those two borders. when it was safe for cats to return to their homes [and there would be enough food to support them], a lot of cats were too attached to the new friendships they formed and banded together as a new clan), how he ended up joining (he was a loner named Bat before the fire and was among the cats displaced by it), some neat tidbits of history (Blossomhail and Strikeplume have a missing ear chunk and a large nick in one ear respectively - Daisydrift, the clan educator, is responsible for both, during old border skirmishes), or nonpersonal things about the other cats in the Clan.
ANYWAY ALL THIS TO SAY THAT THIS SCENE MAKES ME EMOTIONAL CAUSE IT'S THE FIRST TIME IN 3 MONTHS SHE'S ACTUALLY RESPONDED IN SOME WAY WHEN HE ASKED IF SHE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING.
and finally, "raccoonnettle might kill slateswarm for real.png". Raccoonnettle is one of my favorite cats in the clan. She has chronic migraines and is awkward around younger cats, especially after Ruekit asked her where kittens come from a few moons ago. She likes them just fine, she just doesn't really know how to talk to them. However, on Moon 10, Slateswarm and two month old Orangekit had an interaction where Slateswarm lost a race against Orangekit and didn't take it well. This was back to back in the events panel of the game this comic is based off of with a crush/positive interaction event from Raccoonnettle saying she realized something about him she never did before. I couldn't get the idea out of my head. In my notes I wrote the two events intertwined, like:
"There's something about Slateswarm that Raccoonnettle never realized before. Slateswarm loses a race against Orangekit and acts bitterly about it. … It might be that he's kind of a dick."
As time goes on, I've been experimenting more with panel placement and such on the pages. Moons 8 and 9 were the best examples of that, but in Moon 10 here I tried mimicking another Clangen creator's panel layout where many events are shown on the same page, rather than two or three events per page. Somehow when setting up the panels, I miscounted, so when I was sketching all the panels I ended up with an extra panel and no event (because none of the other planned events from other pages would fit into that square). So I decided that since that panel was right after the Raccoon-Slate-Orange event, I was adding a bonus scene to it. Raccoonnettle no longer has a crush on Slateswarm. She wants to beat him over the head with a rock for making a baby cry.

Dishwashers are an interesting example. They clean better with less energy and water use, but most don’t last as long. Similar with washing machines. Cars seem to have peaked a bit back, due to the price of replacement touchscreens and sensors. Construction material quality is way down, though adhesives are way better. Furniture, clothing, and sewing machines are so much worse.
I’m not old enough to remember when washing machines used to be better but my 20 year old Slime air pump just died and I am frightened of the options available on the market today.

Links - Connect each noun in the list with the next noun by creating a story that you can visualize with your five senses using any verbs you choose to link the nouns
Example list
1 sword
2 waffle
3 car
4 eggs
5 shoe
Imagine a Israeli Defense Force fighter using a sword made out of waffles to steal a car made out of waffles and then crashing the car into a Palestinian civilian who drops eggs on their shoe, imagine the eggs stuck to the shoe
Grand Archive, a trading card game. When you play a card, you pay its (integer) cost by placing other cards from your hand face-down into a zone called "memory". You then spend those cards at the start of the next turn to pull from your material deck, and the rest return to hand. So link memory should be something about... You and target player merge memory, I guess.
Oh yeah, it'd be a keyword on cards in the material deck, if it has link memory then you shuffle memory from target player into yours and spend them, then return all cards to owner's hand. This would cause problems with sleeves but whatever.
The peg memory system is better for memorizing things because you can know which item on a list is assigned to what number on the list without going through the entire story
But to use the oeg system you have to imagine a noun for each number
Then you combine the noun associated with the number with the item you have to memorize for that numbers place on the list by making up a story similar to the link method

Funny, it's been estimated that Iran and Venezuela accounted for around 11% of China's fuel imports, for which they have large reserves. For China's economy, however, which has been on a cliff's edge, this is potentially catastrophic -- especially long term, but even in the short term.
To add insult to gory injuries, the easy wipeout of their air defense systems immediately slid their reliability marker over next to Russia.

I run an EDC x220 in Linux Mint with wonky feet so I bought a thick natural veggie tanned leather rectangle to act as a portable desk pad. It's weird and quirky but it works for me and I thought it might be amusing to see my hack.
@Murray_N Natural vegetable-tanned leather is leather processed using tannins extracted from plant materials such as tree bark, leaves, and roots rather than synthetic chromium salts. The process is slower and more traditional, producing firm, durable leather that develops a rich patina over time. It is typically undyed or lightly finished, showing the natural grain and color of the hide.
