They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth. Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it. Every single time.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

Are we there yet? #art #oilpainting

I am pleased to report that we are very much in the game gentlemen, very much in the game

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

Soft secession. Blue states building parallel systems, withholding cooperation, and creating facts on the ground that render federal authority meaningless within their borders. “Without state cooperation, much of the federal government’s agenda becomes unenforceable.”

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

A couple of years ago I did a series of drawings of Edinburgh neighbourhoods. I know now that I’m not a big fan of drawing architecture, so I won’t be doing more, but these are a nice reminder of my early days in illustration. This is Circus Lane, the most photographed street in Edinburgh.

If nothing else I find it obscene to turn governmental agencies that are meant to function as institutions in service of the entire American political community into overtly partisan propaganda mouthpieces. It’s just such a visceral degeneration of civic life it drives me insane.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

guys, we have a tone shift

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Here at the department of WAR we’re focused on LETHALITY and the WARRIOR ETHOS which is why we’re ignoring a conventional attack on a NATO member so we can drone strike boats in the Caribbean.

After months of work, I finally finished this illustration... this is how I died, from insomnia. #ProjectZomboid

Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."

in LOVE with the work of Brett Allen Johnson 😍

happy labor day to all you workers and parasites

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

Just a heads up to anyone using Firefox:

Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.
