With a careful attention to the affective qualities of ambient music, acts like Rolling Acres and G. S. Schray have established a sort of small-town midwestern regional sound on the imprint, Talons', in the meantime, has carried its songwriter to Chicago, New York, and eventually Madrid for grad school.

But for a young student in the United States coming from a small town in Nigeria, dressing in ways that drew attention to himself — painting his cheeks and lips in bright colors, lining his eyebrows in kohl, wearing studded leather, acrylic talons and plastic fangs — felt like an act of defiance.

It had a tableau depicting a shrieking eagle with flashing red eyes, its talons clutching a baby doll as it circled above an ominous landscape — a dead man, a second baby drowning in a lake, a house on fire and a bare-chested, feral-looking woman screaming at the sky.

There were mourning masks from Melanesia with cascading beards of cockerel feathers; headdresses from Brazil and the Marquesas Islands, surmounted by feathered fans and diadems; skulls from Papua New Guinea topped by black plumes from a cassowary—a huge, reclusive bird that can gut a person with a stroke of its talons.

In the oil on paper, "Don't Know Why But I Do" (2016), the dominant form hovers between a boldly outlined configuration you might see in a late 1930s Cubist still life by Lee Krasner and a hybrid geometric figure projecting a mammoth, black leg and talons to the far right edge of the sheet.

But no static photo can fully capture the majesty of the bald eagle, the way it swoops and soars with equal parts grace and terror; no single picture can capture the way it sometimes digs it talons into a pet cat and carries the prey back to its nest to rip apart and eat.

Fortunately, this week's episode has helped me to name her (Mildred), give her a voice (here you are, Mildred, in the Gray Lady — daily readership 9 million!), and wrest my keyboard from her gnarled, nicotine-stained talons in order to bring you all the good word from Mama Ru on how to do the same.

Photo: Gizmodo:Megeso-William-Alan: Denis, who was dressed in a poncho and was carrying a koa stick adorned with peacock feathers, eagle talons, and a crystal, asked the commissioner if he could walk to the last parcel, but was told instead he could look at it on Google Earth and that he would be arrested if he continued.

The band graces the cover of the mag's latest issue in the form of a gnarly illustration (done by artist Matt Stikker) of Trump's decapitated head in the talons of liberty: As part of the New Noise flexi series, the issue also includes a copy of their song, "Take the Fall," which you can stream below.

It's also why I couldn't stop admiring the way both my character and (especially) my enemies moved, whether I was chasing a giant iguana through the brush, or diving under the talons of a poison-spewing bird, or scrambling out of the water and onto a raised islet to escape from a hungry, mud-caked fish-beast.

An hour or so later, Ariel, carrying out a mission at Prospero's behest, morphs into a harpy — a ravenous monster with a woman's face and breasts and a vulture's talons and wings — soaring intangibly but menacingly above the stage in a pixelated projection that traces the movements and facial expressions of an actor at stage left.

It's one of many affronts devised by Bertlmann in a breathtaking array of media: drawing, photography, sculpture, film, installation, and wearable art, including a set of finger gloves made from pacifiers pierced with X-Acto blades — a horrifying concept on every level — transforming her fingers into talons and her hands into lethal weapons (as documented in the 1981 photograph "Knife-Pacifier-Hands").

Clarke proposed the bill three weeks after BuzzFeed News published a story about a Philadelphia police officer who faced no discipline for displaying a tattoo on his arm that looks a lot like the emblem adopted by the Nazi party during Adolf Hitler's rise to power — the only difference being that there's no swastika inside the wreath hanging from the bird's talons.

At the reception desk of a robot-staffed hotel in Japan, sharp-fanged, hairy-chested dinosaurs wearing bellhop hats and bow ties poise their talons at the keyboard; at a pizza restaurant in Multan, Pakistan, bosomy figures on wheels, accessorized with scarves around their necks, deliver food to your table; at a gentlemen's club in Las Vegas, androids in garters perform pole dances.

Raven was inspired to create the giant image in 2015 when he saw Trump campaigning on television — roughly the left third of the 300-pound painting is devoted to a giant neck-up rendering of the then-presidential candidate, with the rest depicting a bald eagle flying through space with a giant American flag in its talons and our pitiable blue planet in the background, with no idea what it had in store.
