Except Trump DID call for the riot. We watched it in real time! Wtf is wrong within media (globally, it seems) that they can't stand up to such a lying, extortionous, bully?

In addition to clothing, I do traditional art. You can get prints on my website, and if you act quickly, there's time to get a handful of bespoke pieces completed in time for Christmas. Get in touch for pricing. #art #illustration

Yeah, this was set to "Hide" in my settings. Fuck right off with that.

If you're a space nerd, I've got a range clothing on my website aimed at you. Including ludicrous 'race to the moon' shoes and trousers, and t-shirts that let you show your allegiance to either NASA or the Soviet Space Program. Check it out here: benmortimer.com/shop?prodfil...

The findings won't be a surprise to anyone who's watched the collapse of Twitter into right-wing extremism, but hopefully this superbly researched and presented piece finally wakes the British government up to how dangerous the situation is.

Andrew Cuomo is now driving his OJ Simpson truck slowly down the i95, with no one in pursuit and no cameras following him, because literally no one cares about him.

You do not hate the trad right nearly enough

The Andrew Formerly Known as Prince

Have some art. A piece inspired by the amazing Skating Polly gig i went to at the 100 Club the other day. Went for a 1980s, 2000AD art style with this. Really pleased with how its come out #art #illustration #inktober

I have nerd-sniped myself with the question "would diving headfirst into a pit of gold coins break the neck of a human-sized anthropomorphic duck?" I really don't have time for this today.

I’m so angry and upset. These women do not speak for me. In dark moments I’m relieved that Alice isn’t here to witness it, for how could I protect her? All a mother wants is to keep their child safe. Then I feel broken that I even thought that. Cis women please sign to help counter this hatred ⬇️

Almost 60,000 women have signed this petition by @nionwomen.bsky.social women to say that the transphobes do not speak for them. Meanwhile the Daily Express front-pages seven transphobes, falsely claiming that they “represent women”. If they do not represent you. Please sign. notinourname.org.uk

Maybe there's something in this Nigel Farage and Nathan Gill Russian bribes story....

This is happening right now, across the UK – affecting thousands of young Trans+ people who are simply trying to be themselves and thrive Young Trans+ people being inflicted with unspeakable mental and physical suffering And all the while, anti-trans medical professionals, media figures,.. 1.

Not to get conspiratorial, but actually a lot of these degrees lead to pretty good, highly paid careers. The thing is, they also teach students to analyse media, and be critical of information sources. Maybe that's why media barons and bullshitting politicians have spent decades denigrating them.

Has anyone made this FOI request of the south-west and the London CYP Gender services? This post ⬇️relates to the north-west service, where not one young person has been offered medical transition since the service was opened over a year ago. This isn't treatment. It's state sanctioned conversion.

I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels. I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them. Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy. Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.

Went to see The Back to the Future musical this afternoon, and 90s Saturday evening TV comedian Brian Connelly is genuinely phenomenal as Doc Brown in it. Which is a sentence I never expected to type.

Labour described as "too toxic" by Literally Satan

I cannot believe actual journalists are referring to an animated character as an "AI actor". Its honestly embarrassing that even when they're not completely falling for the tech bro bullshit they’re still parroting the marketing language.

I'm unlikely to keep up with #Inktober as I have a ton of work to do, but here's a doodle of one of my cats. As he's a pretty cooperative model, if I do keep doing these, you'll see more of him. #art #illustration

Happy October. I've got loads of spooky themed stuff on my website to get you ready for Halloween. Go order now so it arrives in time. benmortimer.com/product-cate...

If i controlled a film studio, I'd make a movie about Guillermo Del Torro creating an army of monsters to seize control of Sony to greenlight a cool animated movie. Like Being John Malkovich, but horror.

People seem determined to remember Charlie Kirk as a devout Christian. This includes mainstream and liberal descriptions of him and not just MAGA hagiography. But look, the things he said about people were in direct contravention of Christ’s teachings. It’s deeply perverted to suggest otherwise.

He means himself. If you regulate AI, he'll come to your house and whinge at you.

and if you’re a creator, the easiest way to get me to follow and repost your work is to use alt text! that way i can share your cool stuff with ALL my followers

No mention of Nigel and no picture of the nephew so women can be on their guard if they see him. So weird. Imagine if it was a relative of Starmer's or an asylum seeker.

If you're in the UK, time to write to your MPs again. Truly evil stuff from Wes Streeting.

2 detainees & the shooter killed, no agents, but the Vice President is already spinning and politicizing it

An apparent sniper shot two detainees at an ice office in Dallas this morning. No Gestapo members were injured only the detainees were killed.

A master plan to exterminate trans people would have this document as a stepping stone. It is from the Far Right Heritage Foundation - who Labour Ministers have chosen to meet.

In any other administration, including Trump's first, just saying this would have been grounds to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Trump Spends Entire U.K. Trip Trying To Figure Out Where He Knows Prince Andrew From

The government won't tell you that they are fascists, but they will tell you that anti-fascists are their enemies.

Quite remarkable how simply asking Penny Mordaunt if she is comfortable with fascist acts gets an obvious reaction out of her. And it's interesting that now the greens have a leader who provides good TV, that he seems to be getting proper coverage.

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

i imagine these men are wearing tailored suits and the only conclusion i can draw is that tailors are leftists.

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.

Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

When this is over, everyone who ever worked for ICE should never see the outside of a prison cell again. Absolute monsters.

they literally want to round us up man. can democrats please get a fucking spine and stand the fuck up for us now? we literally cannot counter this ourselves when they want our voices and rights taken away. please do fucking something

The number of people fired or suspended for speaking the truth about Charlie Kirk must serve as a reminder none of the far right are free speech advocates, they just want no limits on what they say.

You have to ask yourself, are the staff at the guardian actively malicious, or just useful idiots.

hi, cis folks! the WSJ endangered trans lives with false reporting yesterday. it’s still accepted as truth by many, regardless of it being false. the article’s still up with a little note. it needs full retraction. it's not even a phone call—it's email. you can do this. contact info below.🧵⬇️

If it turns out the Kirk shooter actually was a Fuentes acolyte, is this going to end up being Biggie and 2Pac for the worst people imaginable?
