Recently discovered this treasure trove: https://www.youtube.com/@LoraxStuff/videos where OP compiled a whole bunch of Lorax storyboards into videos! Thanks to [this post] and @fun-twisted-tales for linking me to the youtube channel!!

I just wanted to post some of my personal favourite panels from Matt Flynn's and David Berthier's boards (posts have already been made for Didier Ah-koon's, Nassos Vakalis', and Habib Louati's boards), with my notes for them below:

1) ADS ON THEIR GELATIN CUBES?? holy shit that's galaxy brain. I'm definitely making that canon in my Audrey OC's lore haha. I also love "MEAT CUBE" and "PROCESSED FROOD" and "CHOCO FU" sdkj

2) They have 3 cent coins and 12 cent coins......lmao OF COURSE they would if they also have 34 days in October and a "day 12 1/2" on their calendars....sighs another reminder of just how isolated Thneedville has been from the rest of the world

3-4) "Keep your nose out of trouble or it might get cut off!!!" Wow what a violent threat from O'hare! Imagine if he might be serious...:^)

5) A pin-up ad LMAO?? Selling water as "air with water in it" is so gd stupid i love it!!

6) Truffula tree with branches! We've seen them in concept art by Colin Stimpson before but I think this is the first time I've seen the idea drawn by an official storyboard artist

7-9) When he whacked the tree with his ax, butterflies flew out from the tuft! I love the idea that butterflies nest in truffula trees, it would make sense why they're said to smell of butterfly milk...

10-11) That's so cool that the furry design for the onceler made it all the way to storyboard stage!! You can easily tell that they kept a lot of his expressions here for the human version as well

And that's all for now! OP of that youtube channel is a life saviour, thank you OP!! I hope those vids will stay up forever...also if you guys want to see more lorax concept art, here's my tag for it: [link]

Trump transition team compiling list of current and former U.S. military officers for possible courts-martial

All of the officers were involved in the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, which independent reviews have blamed on both the Trump a

Courtney Kube, Carol E. Lee, Vaughn Hillyard, and Mosheh Gains at NBC News:

The Trump transition team is compiling a list of senior current and former U.S. military officers who were directly involved in the withdrawal from Afghanistan and exploring whether they could be court-martialed for their involvement, according to a U.S. official and a person familiar with the plan.  Officials working on the transition are considering creating a commission to investigate the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, including gathering information about who was directly involved in the decision-making for the military, how it was carried out, and whether the military leaders could be eligible for charges as serious as treason, the U.S. official and person with knowledge of the plan said. “They’re taking it very seriously,” the person with knowledge of the plan said. The Trump transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Matt Flynn, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for counternarcotics and global threats, is helping lead the effort, the sources said. It is being framed as a review of how the U.S. first got into the war in Afghanistan and how the U.S. ultimately withdrew.

[...] President-elect Donald Trump has condemned the withdrawal as a “humiliation” and “the most embarrassing day in the history of our country.”  It is not clear, though, what would legally justify “treason” charges since the military officers were following the orders of President Joe Biden to withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan.

A 2022 independent review by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction blamed both the Trump and Biden administrations for the chaotic U.S. withdrawal in 2021. Trump first reached an agreement with the Taliban in 2020 to withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan, roughly 13,000 troops, and release 5,000 Taliban fighters from prison. The Biden administration then completed the withdrawal and badly overestimated the ability of Afghan government forces to fight the Taliban on their own. Trump’s choice for secretary of defense, Fox News personality Pete Hegseth, has criticized the withdrawal, saying the U.S. lost the war and wasted billions of dollars. In his book “The War on Warriors,” Hegseth wrote, “The next president of the United States needs to radically overhaul Pentagon senior leadership to make us ready to defend our nation and defeat our enemies. Lots of people need to be fired. The debacle in Afghanistan, of course, is the most glaring example.”

[...] The transition team is looking at the possibility of recalling several commanders to active duty for possible charges, the U.S. official said.  It’s not clear the Trump administration would pursue treason charges, and instead could focus on lesser charges that highlight the officer’s involvement. “They want to set an example,” said the person with knowledge of the plan.

NBC News is reporting that Donald Trump’s transition team is compiling a list of senior current and former US military officers who were directly involved in the withdrawal from Afghanistan to face a potential court martial.

This is a fascistic insult to common sense.

YOSHIKI HISHINUMA, FALL COLLECTION, 2001 Garments, nylon, vinyl

DESIGNER Yoshiki Hishinuma, b. 1958

MANUFACTURER Hishinuma Association, Japan

PHOTOGRAPHY Matt Flynn

Yoshiki Hishinuma's clothes use a traditional Japanese technique in which a thin fabric is knotted or sewn, sometimes in multiple layers. The fabric is then shrunk, causing it to pucker. In some of Hishinuma's pieces, a sheet of vinyl is laminated to the translucent layers beneath; the vinyl is allowed to crack, exposing the delicate flesh below the broken skin. These pieces explore the beauty and complexity of wrinkles, tears, and imperfections.
