"Ben Gvir has proposed creating a “detention facility surrounded by crocodiles” to hold Palestinian prisoners, Israeli media reported"
"the proposed site would be near Hamat Gader...in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. According to Israeli media the resort already has a controlled alligator habitat, and crocodiles would be brought in for the prison - housed in a fenced enclosure to prevent escape attempts"

How cute is he? This beautiful Inverno (cactiverse.fandom.com/it/wiki/) (a grotesque from the Palermo clan) was drawn for us by Tatante (toyhou.se/tatante)!

Balthazar lost a bet to the terrible duo of Whistle and Indiana (his own son), and now he has to pay the price.. dress up sexily, and make a pin-up photoshoot.
Will our dark, brooding hero flawlessly endure this embarassment?
(Stay tuned)
Whistle is ours, Balthazar and Whistle belong to xFroggiii.

Whistle spreads her wings in the night, ready to glide where she is needed (probably a rotisserie). Maybe she seems heroic and supernatural, but not even she can resist the street food of Palermo!

Ballpoint pen sketch.

Gargoyle, Coats Memorial Church, Paisley, Scotland. "The creature bears a strong resemblance to H.R. Giger's Xenomorph from the Alien franchise." Is it authentic? #monster #grotesque

Absolutely love this grotesque on the former Coats Memorial Church in Paisley. Built in 1894, this church was designed in a Gothic Revival style by H.J. Blanc and it's covered in some fantastic Gothic-inspired sculptures and carvings. It's now used as an events venue.

I honestly don't know how anyone could not love #JohnCusack, especially #MinnieDriver, and the fabulous 80s #soundtrack from #GrossePointBlank, a wonderful #thriller #grotesque made with a lot of love. #Music is not afraid of total failures or total hits. #movies #filmsky

Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
And a few more of your least favorite things

Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy

Recall how in 1930s grotesque Germany, a particular look was blessed and sought after? An even worse trend is popular among DC republicans now. All in an effort to make a division in society (think race and sex) where you end up on the privileged side.

What they're saying: Washington is typically an understated town regarding plastic surgery; people want to look good, but don't want it to be obvious they've had work done, says area plastic surgeon Troy Pittman, who works with a lot of Trump insiders.

But that's no longer the case since Team Trump 2.0 rolled into town: "[Now] we're seeing people who want to look like they had something done," he says.
And while old-school Beltway-ers tend to be hush-hush about their tune-ups, the "Palm Beach crowd" is all-systems-go, says Pittman, whose MAGA-verse clients will often chat procedures and trade doctor recs.

Fillers are big with this crew — especially lips, says Pittman, as are Botox and Dysport.

Is it just me, or does this look remarkably like Batman carved into the base of the doorway to Glasgow University's Victorian era Randolph Buildings?

A sculpture which looka very much like batman on a Victorian university building.

Curious to know who first coined #DONORRHEA. Use on social media seems to date back 9 months, with reference to a MAGA plague or a vomit of Trump lies. #satire #grotesque

A stone head, or grotesque, stares at us with bulging eyes and crazy curly hair in this engraving of a stone sculpture. There’s the head of maybe a fox peeping over the hair, and the cheeks are bulging as if filled with air. The mouth is open round - it’s a water spout for a fountain!
