"It is worse than a crime, it is a blunder". (" C'est pire qu'un crime, c'est une faute ") is a famous, cynical maxim regarding the 1804 kidnapping and execution of the Duke of Enghien by Napoleon Bonaparte, attributed to diplomat Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord . It highlights that the action was a massive political error, not just a moral crime.     Napoleon described Talleyrand as a 'shit in silk stockings', (merde en bas de soie.

  Mary Jane Kelly, a modern reconstruction of the below picture. This is what was left after the Ripper had finished with her, November 9th 1888. Those are her breasts and other parts piled on the table next to her head.  As can be seen, this was a crime of appalling savagery. Another angle of the above. 13 Miller's Court.  9 November 1888, 10:45. Indian Harry comes to collect Mary's overdue rent.  We know what he found there. She may have looked like this,   She was described as very pretty.  Of the five for sure victims, she was the only one with a place to live.  Burned cloth in the fireplace testifies to the killer having the time and need of illumination for a more extensive session with a victim. (about two hours). No one has any idea who the ripper was.  No one has ever named him with any certainty.  There were five victims, also the murder of Martha Tabram 7/8/1888 that might very well have been a first go by a novice murderer, alt...

   Pigs In Human Clothing Commission for The_Mask on FA <3   https://www.deviantart.com/king-hime  I received permission a couple of years ago from this outstanding artist to post this here, I have moved it to the front of the line in order for more people to view one really fabulous fur.  I highly recommend visiting his site, his work is among the best I have ever seen. (I have no idea what is going on here but this racoon rivals the Red Skull for pose and malevolence).  The age of freedom is over.   https://kinghime.com/  

James is an incredible artist who should be working professionally in the comics industry. His work reminds me of Frazetta, and I have no higher compliment. This post is another version of my bunny Billy as Gulliver Foyle, the protagonist of Alfred Bester's unparalleled work of imagination The Stars My Destination. The color scheme was a gift from Mateo-art. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/2026/01/check-this-out.html  

Saturdays can get hopping.  The last was unusually busy, we had more intakes than normal.  If half our birds survive that's a good ratio, by the time a wild bird can be picked up by a human it's in trouble.  My shift was almost over when a taxi pulled up to the front gate.  I went to see what was going down and there was a crying lady, youngish, holding something out to one of my co-workers, who was shaking her head.  The woman was almost in hysterics.  "I have no money", she kept saying, "And I don't know what to do.  Where can I take this"?  She held out what I thought was a white Guinea Pig.  "Help me, you guys save animals"!  She was sobbing and the cabbie looked like he had had all he could take.  I started to suggest the Humane Society but I couldn't remember if they were open or not and they almost certainly wouldn't take a drop in like this.  "I can euthanize the animal for you, but that's all I can do...

Two long dead friends have showed up at our rabbit's house, they don't want to keep Charon waiting. Charon is very busy these days.   https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/2018/11/charons-holiday.html
