'Weird Al' Yankovic

I had the pleasure of doing Weird Al's character art for SiIvagunner's "King for a Day Tournament". Official character introduction tweet is [here]. I'm super hyped for this event, and I know who I'm rooting for!

La ONU se niega a investigar las armas químicas halladas a los rebeldes en Siria.

Más de 40 toneladas de gases tóxicos con componentes fabricados en EEUU y la UE han sido hallados en zonas controladas por terroristas y rebeldes 'moderados'...

Popular Autonomous Neighbourhood Assemblies: Declaration of support for student strike

August 4, 2012

Original French Text: http://www.villeray.philotech.org/wp/?p=224

As Popular Autonomous Neighbourhood Assemblies (French: Assemblées populaires autonomes de quartiers) formed after the imposition of emergency legislation, we openly give our support to student associations who decide to continue to strike in opposition to the increase to tuition fees, and who continue to disobey this emergency law.  To force students back to class, as is supposed to happen starting August 13, is nothing more than an attack on students' right to collectively organize.  For this reason, we offer our support to students on strike: we will organize demonstrations and we will be present on picket lines.  

Signed by: 

- Assemblée populaire autonome de Villeray (www.apaqvilleray.org)

– Assemblée populaire autonome de Hochelaga-Maisonneuve (www.apahochelaga.org)

(Other Popular Autonomous Neighbourhood Assemblies who support us are encouraged to add their names to this list by contacting [email protected].)

On August 13, Assemblée populaire autonome de Hochelaga-Maisonneuve invites everyone to a casserole demonstration that will start at Place Valois (corner of Ontario and Valois) at 7:00 AM, heading towards CEGEP Maisonneuve in support of striking students who will be holding picket lines.
