TANKING EXPECTATIONS SINCE 2020
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Good Morning Newgrounds! How are all of you doing? I've been doing fantastic. I've been getting accustomed to my new day job, which is better pay, better hours, and less stressful than my previous job. I've finally gotten a schedule in order for myself, which I will be sharing the results of down the line. I hope you all had a wonderful Clock Day yesterday and worshipped the almighty B. Thanks again to @Anonymous-Frog for filling in yesterday, it helped out a lot. Be sure to follow the @TankmanTriweekly as well if you're a fan of The Tank Tribune! Going forward The Tank Tribune will be celebrating Newgrounds holidays, with the next special issue being for Madness Day. This three month trifecta is an interesting time for Newgrounds. Clock Day in August, Madness Day in September, and Halloween in October. There is always something going on on Newgrounds and this will surely be the last reboot moving forward. With all that out of the way. Here are the hip happenings of Newgrounds!

SUPPORTER OF THE WEEK
@StrawberryClock
The King of the Portal. With the creation of B, 20 years ago, the Clock Crew was formed. They would spam the Portal yes, but through the Clock Crew many talented creators came to be. It brought a sense of community on Newgrounds to further their skills. It would spawn duplicates as well all combining animators, musicians, developers, and artists together. The Lock Legion, The Star Syndicate, The Kitty Krew, The Soup Squad. Have all spammed the Portal and created better Newgrounds members as well. The Clock Crew was the first, and StrawberryClock helped bring in more creators and showed the freedoms that Newgrounds offers compared to other sites for the time and especially today.

LATEST INTERVIEW: Edeshye
@HavryloThePigeon is conducting interviews with NSFW Artists. His first interview is with Edeshye. Check out the mind behind this NSFW artist!
I'm gonna link The Scale of the Universe here as well due to the impact it made. Scale of the Universe 2 however is updated to include more of the universe. To the part of space we can no longer see all the way down to the smallest level that we can't measure. It is amazing to go through this and click on each piece. You garner knowledge on biology, zoology, chemistry, and culture. @Fotoshop gave us a great treat with this. It's a shame we haven't seen newer works from him since this. With that said I will leave you with a quote from Carl Sagan to match the image above.
“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

Sorry there wasn't more in this issue. I had to get a lot of stuff in my life to a different kind of control. A change in job and how my hours worked meant I had to change when and what I write. There is a set schedule now going forward. There are a few things I want to tweak for the upcoming issue of The Tank Tribune. Thank you all for taking this ride with me. It's incredible I've been writing this paper for over a year now.
