Oi, ukulele-fanciers! I mean you, @swansonian.bsky.social Supposing there was such a thing as a ukulele library and these were the axes on offer, where would the uke-curious guitar man start?

…and yet, somehow there’s no causal link between disastrous economic policies and a disastrous economy.

How many of our loved ones died because of inadequate or faulty PPE? And yet we still have to pay those who provided it? An outrageous insult. Part-time covid anti-fraud commissioner Tom Hayhoe's year-long contract expires soon. Then what? What exactly is the plan?

Saw this reassuring notice in a hospital the other day. Relax lads.

In London towards the end of the war, these two Joans were Queens of the West End

I’m old so I put in the blu-ray of All the President’s Men. Up comes a picture of Robert Redford and the menu says ‘Special Features’ Cool nickname.

I was today years old when I learned that simply having an iphone means I have more sheer digital processing power in my pocket than was carried by the world- beating steam locomotive ‘Mallard’ or indeed any of the A4 class ‘Pacific’ locos (designed by Nigel Gresley, obviously)

A comical and geometrical marvel from @joedator.bsky.social in the current @privateeyenews.bsky.social - at your newsstands now!

New work.

President Trump surprises and delights the world’s press by spending 35 minutes speaking in the local Aleut language, thanking the native people and celebrating the art of the seal.

Him and Hegseth and all of them are like the discarded soft toys that bin-men cable-tie to the grille of the bin lorry, and there’s a madman at the wheel with his foot down.

Remember when Reagan said the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help? The current President, ironically, has brought a whole new vocabulary to terrify. “We are the government and you have no rights”

Bondi Beached?

Also Sprach Grok

Been seeing both of these remarkable pictures a lot lately. They belong together.

Szechwan’s the province, And Shanghai is the port, And Yangtze is the river That we all support!

Reminder: We don’t need Ghislaine Maxwell to tell us the truth—it’s already buried in DOJ files they could unseal today. She’s not a witness. She’s a convicted child rapist and sex trafficker. Blanche isn’t seeking justice—he’s cutting a deal to keep her quiet.

Can we call this Obama Derangement Syndrome?

I believe locally they call it PEnIS #Trump #Acronym

Remember when it was just ketchup on the walls of the Oval Office? Look at the state of it! #vulgarshit #

Quote with a pic of you in the 80s I was very lucky to appear in a painting in 1985. I'm on the far left and the artist on the far right.

The different stadiums. At Wembley the crowd at the top vanishes into the dark shadow of the roof, at JFK the crowd just goes up and stops, nothing behind, nothing above but sky, like an infinity pool. #LiveAid #Stadia

Bowie's conga player rented his drums from Pro Perc! Shout out to Kentish Town! #LiveAid

When Knopfler's brother left and was replaced for the day by Michael Barrymore #LiveAid

Michael Buerk was on 5%, that's what my friend Ian said. #LiveAid

In the library we TRY to file fiction by surname. Just found this under ‘R’ #librarylife

A couple of toons from the Covid era. That first one, from Jan 2021, didn’t age great. How innocent and naive we were to think that the chaos and despair would decrease. Both of these originals are now for sale on BigCartel and EBay joedator.bigcartel.com/products www.ebay.com/usr/joedator...

Heroic joke

Hannibal Lecter presented Jeffrey Dahmer with a Vegetarian of the Year nomination

Isn’t this beautiful?

I see a lot of cozy police dramas at my mum’s and the most annoying trope is the smug, self-righteous, gotcha behaviour of detectives in the interview room especially if the suspect is posh or privileged. A dose of 24 Hours in Police Custody soon clears the air.

A very happy birthday to Susannah Doyle. She’s been up to all sorts but for me will always be Joy, the sour, dark heart of Drop the Dead Donkey in the olden days.

In the kitchen, no one can hear you scream. #alien #melon

Camden Libraries used to lend pictures and sculptures, for three months at a time. This was a different world, not that long ago.

Dear Trump, please bring back CFCs. You know your hairspray hasn’t been the same since those woke ozone perverts outlawed it.

Pick the bones out of that lot

This man has definitely just released a fragrance. #Trump #OpenAWindow

A rainbow bridge!

Amazing double failure of captioning at BBC News just now. Pete Hegseth is labelled "Karoline Leavitt White Hoe Press Secretary"

Today’s Daily Cartoon for @newyorker.com. I love drawing NYC as it truly is!

Happy 99th Birthday to one of my few still living heroes Mel Brooks. He could have made a decent living just telling his Cary Grant story on chat shows. My favourite one was on Clive James. youtu.be/9QbATFlTaZs?...

Again for those at the back. There are lots of people (including me) that are finding it very hard to get work. This is in part to the places that used to pay artists now wanking off to AI. It aint cool or funny. It's damaging to the planet & to the welfare of real people. #fuckai #AIShite

I’m trying to break into the motivational poster market.
