Joan E. Greve at The Guardian:

The House speaker, Mike Johnson, is pushing ahead with his plan to hold votes on four separate foreign aid bills this week, despite threats from two fellow Republicans to oust him if he advances a Ukraine funding proposal. Shortly after noon on Wednesday, the rules committee posted text for three bills that would provide funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. The text of a fourth bill, which is expected to include measures to redirect seized Russian assets toward Ukraine and force the sale of TikTok, will be released later on Wednesday, Johnson said in a note to members.

The legislation would provide $26bn in aid for Israel, $61bn for Ukraine and $8bn for US allies in the Indo-Pacific. The Israel bill also appeared to include more than $9bn in humanitarian assistance, which Democrats had demanded to assist civilians in war zones like Gaza. Johnson indicated final votes on the bills were expected on Saturday evening, interfering with the House’s scheduled recess that was supposed to begin on Friday. If the House passes the bills, they will then be combined and sent to the Senate to simplify the upper chamber’s voting process. In February, the Senate approved a $95bn foreign aid package that included many of the same provisions outlined in the four House bills, and the upper chamber will need to reapprove the House package before it can go to Joe Biden’s desk for his signature.

In a statement, Biden called on the House to quickly approve Johnson’s proposal, saying, “The House must pass the package this week and the Senate should quickly follow. I will sign this into law immediately to send a message to the world: we stand with our friends, and we won’t let Iran or Russia succeed.” Johnson will almost certainly have to rely on Democratic votes to get the bills approved, as House Republicans’ majority has narrowed to just two members after a series of resignations. Mike Gallagher, a Republican representative of Wisconsin, had planned to resign on Friday, but his spokesperson told Politico that he “has the flexibility to stay and support the aid package on Saturday”. Some prominent Democrats were already signaling their support for the package on Wednesday, increasing the likelihood of its passage.

“After House Republicans dragged their feet for months, we finally have a path forward to provide support for our allies and desperately needed humanitarian aid,” said Rose DeLauro, the top Democrat on the House appropriations committee. “We cannot retreat from the world stage under the guise of putting ‘America First’.” In a concession to hard-right Republicans, Johnson said in his note to members that the House would also vote on Saturday on a border security bill. The text of the legislation will be posted late Wednesday, Johnson said, and it will include many of the policies outlined in HR 2, a Republican bill with many hardline immigration measures. The House already passed HR 2 last year, but it was never taken up by the Senate. The Democrats who control the Senate remain adamantly opposed to the bill, so a similar proposal faces little hope of passage in the upper chamber. Despite that concession, hard-right Republicans were already expressing displeasure with Johnson’s plan on Wednesday, arguing that any Ukraine aid must be directly linked with stricter border policies.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is advancing foreign aid proposals onto the House floor for a vote despite threats from his hard-right flank (especially on Ukraine aid funding).

You’re the type of guy that would definitely warning me about an incoming missile

While i’m the type of guy that was warned by an AWACS aircraft about an incoming missile. Well, it's just a theory right @gorillageek27 ?

Fuck you. I can be anything I wanna be.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

NO, I am NOT voting for the rule on Johnson’s bundle of funding bills for billions more to Ukraine and other foreign wars.

When Joe Biden signs HR2 into law and Schumer holds the Mayorkas impeachment trial in the Senate, I will agree to vote for the rule only.

The United States Congress swore an oath to America and Americans and our country is under a daily deadly invasion and the Cartels are at war against our country,

The Biden admin is giving aid and comfort to them.

Speaker Johnson is not holding Democrats accountable nor leading our Republican majority, he’s actually giving in to Democrats every demand. And he’s using dirty swamp tactics to push through the America Last agenda.

It’s time to STAND FOR AMERICA!!!

For everyone at home: Voting for the rule allows the actual bill to move forward for a vote. You can still vote no on the actual bill after voting yes on the rule. They are two separate votes and commonly the way the House passes bills. However, the Speaker can suspend the rules and force the actual bill to the floor for a one time yes or no vote, which is what Johnson did with other major funding rules. Strategy will change if that happens.

Hello. Regarding Hellraiser III, I seem to recall you making a comment about how you believed Elliott and Unbound!Pinhead to be physical manifestations of Freud's model of the psyche - super-ego and id respectively. I am in total agreement with you there, and I have believed this same thing for a long time now. This would also make normal 'Bound' Pinhead that we meet in the first two films, and the films following Bloodline, to be the actual Ego itself. I think this makes the third film, and the characterisations so much more interesting, rather than doing what the early 90s HR comics did, which was to have Pinhead be an Aztec 'demon' who possesses Elliott, making them separate people altogether. That's boring and predictable, and just goes against everything that the movies established in the earlier films for Pinhead. By having Unbound and Elliott be one and the same, just different aspects of the same man, which is basically what HR is about - our deepest, darkest desires explored and enhanced, it builds on the HR mythology. This is why I've always loved HR3, and why I don't think it's a bad film, and why I just adore Unbound as a character. This is Pinhead off the leash. I still believe that Unbound would still be very fond of Kirsty, and still would be driven to protect her in some way. Even without his human side. But for the most part, he would be super eager to have her join him. Though he'd treat her much differently than he did the club patrons. I don't think the love/lust for Kirsty comes from just his human side. It comes from all of him.

Anyway, I thought I'd share my thoughts on the matter with you. I found this online regarding id, ego, super-ego, and it reminded me of the boys even more so. Maybe you could draw something out of this? It's an idea. I love your art. Keep up the good work! :)

Your analysis of Unbound and Elliot is exactly what I was thinking. It almost makes me cry. I’ve always found it hard to dislike HR3 for this reason. After watching the HR1 and HR2, I felt that human desires and darkness are what truly terrify us. So when I discovered that HR3 split the Hell Priest into two characters, I was super excited.

The human version of Elliot is relatively mature; after all, he carries the memories and burdens from his time as a human, as well as the PTSD of being a survivor of World War I. He is also someone who adheres strictly to rules. I guess this leadership quality and personality is what attracted Leviathan to him, eventually leading him to become the priest managing hell. In the moment of their separation, the repressed desires, dark sides, and nature of the human were individually extracted, like a newly born child without constraints. They both possess things that the other lacks. I’m really looking forward to their journey of hatred and self-destruction gradually turning into understanding, culminating in a new interpretation of a single person. It’s amazing! But unfortunately, HR3 didn’t delve into their complex psychological relationship in detail. This regret has made me want to doodle their story.

I was shocked to learn that the comic had mentioned the demon's setting before; I had no idea about that. Thank you for sharing! Like you, I’m more inclined towards the idea of the id and superego!

I agree that Elliot and Unbound have an obsession with Kirsty and surely hope that she would join their ranks as a Cenobite.

But to me,I tend to see their relationship as a complex ambiguity; I imagine it as a sense of distance rather than a romantic interaction. Their conflicts would actually bring them closer together.

For Kirsty, the Hell Priest undoubtedly intervened in her life and indirectly destroyed her family. Even if it started because of someone else’s involvement, he still cast a huge shadow over Kirsty. In their contract relationship, the Hell Priest has let her go multiple times, and Elliot himself has said that Kirsty is his friend. Therefore, I believe they share a relationship that is both contradictory and beautiful!

The existence of their relationship is so enchanting, which is probably why so many people like it!

And thank you for the pictures you provided. I love your thoughts every time you share them; they truly inspire me!🥰❤️ ❤️

Broad sarbecovirus neutralization by combined memory B cell antibodies to ancestral SARS-CoV-2 - Published June 22, 2024

Highlights

•Cv2.3194 is a resilient class 1 RBD SARS-CoV-2 neutralizer active up to BA.2.86 •Cv2.3132, a broadly sarbecovirus neutralizer, targets the HR2 membrane proximal region •Combined Cv2.3132 and Cv2.3194 cooperate to neutralize SARS-CoV-2 variants in vitro •Cv2.3132 and Cv2.3194 provide protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection in mouse models

Summary Antibodies play a pivotal role in protecting from SARS-CoV-2 infection, but their efficacy is challenged by the continuous emergence of viral variants. In this study, we describe two broadly neutralizing antibodies cloned from the memory B cells of a single convalescent individual after infection with ancestral SARS-CoV-2. Cv2.3194, a resilient class 1 anti-RBD antibody, remains active against Omicron sub-variants up to BA.2.86. Cv2.3132, a near pan-Sarbecovirus neutralizer, targets the heptad repeat 2 membrane proximal region. When combined, Cv2.3194 and Cv2.3132 form a complementary SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody cocktail exhibiting a local dose-dependent synergy. Thus, remarkably robust neutralizing memory B cell antibodies elicited in response to ancestral SARS-CoV-2 infection can withstand viral evolution and immune escape. The cooperative effect of such antibody combination may confer a certain level of protection against the latest SARS-CoV-2 variants.

frontier fight first impressions #2: abiorugu

i wish this thing was good

this absolute snooze fest is the wall between you and hr2 and man it’s disappointing af.

from a design standpoint, it’s great. you can definitely tell this was one of the monsters that later inspired beloved mainline mons, in this case being glavenus.

if only the fight were interesting. now you may be thinking it would be using its tail as a weapon instead of just simply swinging it around. in fact, abiorugu also breathes fire! kind of. idk if it’s because it’s an urgent quest and some monsters don’t show off their full potential until later quests but this guy never breathed fire for me once despite the particle effect around its mouth.

what if i told you this is just deviljho at home.

that’s it. it’s deviljho, minus what makes deviljho cool. like the pickle or hate the pickle, on a fight standpoint, it’s unique, and there still hasn’t been a monster truly quite like it.

abiorugu is slow, bulky, and has weird tail hitboxes. even throws boulders. but that’s it. the quest gives you bait to use, but it didn’t go after or have interesting reactions with the meat.

it does take a bit from gravios’s moveset aka have a two second roar that leaves the hunter stunned for way too long giving it way too much room to attack.

part of the issue probably stems from when you get access to it. all large monsters in hr1—save for a certain crab i have yet to beat—are your basic dromes and beginner birds, so gear isn’t stellar, even if you upgrade everything as much as you can. most features aren’t unlockable until hr2 at the earliest. to throw in a sudden bulky wall in the same vein as deviljho is a bit too bullshit. i get that this is an mmo, however, that doesn’t excuse a really boring fight.

this again isn’t counting the crabbiest crab. another difficult early game monster available at hr1 with multiple phases, but not only is it optional, it’s been really enjoyable!!!! you get actively engaged and the gimmick is unique.

for reference i was using earth style great sword (so your basic gen 2 gs). i did land a lot of fully charged attacks and had multiple attack buffs. it took nearly 40 minutes to kill the dino.

this was the first monster i didn’t have fun with. genuinely a shame because the recipe for a take on glavenus before glavenus existed is there. hopefully in later ranks it’ll get better but man this was a disappointment.

SCP 3456.2 B known as Strife is a Thaumiel Class entity who’s known for his humorous and carefree attitude along with his marksmanship skills. He’s the easier to get along within the Four Horsemen and has been shown to get serious when necessary as well as protective of his family, especially his little sister. He has requested…quite a large amount of items as he wanted to “interact with humans,” especially explicit material.

[ AUTHENTICATION REQUESTED ]

∎ LOADING FILE . . .

[ ACCESS GRANTED :) ]

Profiled tag: SCP-3456-2-B "Strife"

Class: Thaumiel (risk of Apollyon level)

SCP description:

Strife stands at a height of 8'5 and weighs from medium to medium light on the spectrum, a duality between his sister, Fury and his eldest brother, Death. A cunning and agile marksman, he favours the advantage of distance but isn't opposed to getting up close and personal to deal more intimate and lethal damage.

The most willing to interact with the Foundation staff, Strife is a more carefree personality, witty and much of a jokester, he encourages a friendly presence unless when dealing with a threat; the gunslinger will turn hostile and become efficiently lethal. Strife demonstrates a high level of protectiveness over his siblings and especially his little sister. Often he can be found cradling, playing and otherwise keeping SCP-999-2 occupied.

His face is entirely hidden beneath a curved shaped mask made of a strong, unknown metal type that is also makes up the remainder of his armour along his body, leaving only an array of dark brown, spiked hair. Whether his armour beneath the metallic plating arrangement is a combination between the rubbery leather or his own skin is unknown. Strife has a sturdy, muscular physique and when not wearing his mask, it's revealed that he has a darker tanned complexion. Around his shoulders and neck hangs a brightly tailored scarf that tapers off in two long tails down his back. Like his siblings, his own eyes do not match identically and instead are a golden glow.

Because of Strife's outgoing and interactive personality, he is fond of companionship and enjoys interacting with humans. From a variety of requests, Strife's inquiry of possessing explicit material had to first go through a board of directors conference before it could be approved of or rejected. This was due to a few of the female staff reporting about Strife's filtrations and implications, though a recent lecture has set a professional boundary in place that Strife or any of the Horsemen cannot cross with Foundation staff. The censored request was granted if Strife would adhere accordingly to the expected behavior and was given an assortment of adult magazines.

Among his personal affects and gadgets, his primary weapons are Mercy (SCP-2-B-HM1) and Redemption (SCP-2-B-HR2). Mercy is an oversized, modern style revolver with an unlimited count of shots, the barrel never seeming to need reloading and can fire continuously. His second gun is also an oversized piece of weaponry (to human standards) and has the appearance of a commonly used western resolver. Redemption, unlike Mercy appears to have a variable of ten (10) shots in the cylinder that can be fired and has a more impactful yet slower rate than Mercy. When in closer quarters, Strife has access to two large blades that curve back towards the tip. These daggers appear to never dullen and whether they possess any sort of magical properties is still unknown and undergoing investigation.

As for Strife's steed, Mayhem (SCP-2-B-EM) is a very lively and spirited equine. Though standing at the same height of Rampage, he has a friendly and outgoing personality much like his rider, Mayhem is mostly concealed beneath a dark armoured exterior akin to knight plating. With a dark flowing tail, mane and darkened pits for eyes. He is usually playful with the others and enjoys being in SCP-999-2's company and displays a large amount of affection. Mayhem has been known to pull pranks and can be relatively cheeky, sometimes even stirring up Ruin, Rampage and Despair to get them to chase him.

Some of the staff who work closely with the Horsemen say that out of all the steeds, Mayhem is more of a puppy than a humongous horse.
