“You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful... I just start imposing tariffs on them. It's like a magnet. Just tariff. I don't even wait. And when you're a President they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the mineral rights. You can do anything.”

Poland is spending 4.7% of GDP on defence because it remembers what happened the last time a naïve man from overseas thought he had the measure of a dictator

Jewish man shoots two Jewish men. All three agree Palestinians to blame

GenAI is a bubble/con

From a few years back, but seems more apt than ever today.

GET TO WORK OR STOP TEXTING ME FOR FUNDS.

@bsky.app guys can you bring back @vizcomic.bsky.social please? They're one of the foundational institutions of British comedy. Absolute filth of course, but that's how we like it.

I have signed this #EU initiative to propose a ban on #LGBTQ+ conversion "therapy" which every EU citizen above the age of 16 should be able to sign. #Ireland needs maybe 5,000 more signatures to reach the threshold #Spéirghorm #Spéirgorm eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public . Sign it and share it!

When we say that Trump is a weak man’s idea of a strong man, we’re not talking about his enablers - we’re talking about him. He is the weak man

Big tech is now formally in league with the far-right. The resistance to it will be personal and political iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-res...

To sin by silence, when we should protest, Makes cowards out of men

Elon is a fascist. He made a fascist salute twice and did it in such a way that he had a shred of plausible deniability. If you give him that benefit, you’re an enabler

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

Do not obey in advance. If we fight, this will be looked back on as part of the death throes of authoritarianism

The urge to dunk is ever present. Desist. Memory hole them and live better by blocking.

Remembering Matilda, the last survivor of the transatlantic slave trade - January 13 marks 85 years since the death of Matilda, whose name at birth was Abake – meaning ‘born to be loved by all’ among the Tarkar people of Western Africa. www.aljazeera.com/features/202...

Stealing someone else’s content for likes isn’t justified even by leaving the author’s name on it. All you’re doing is naming the person you’ve stolen from. If you want to share someone’s work, hit the share button on the author’s original post. Posting it on your own account is being an asshole.

Someone had to write these examples. Someone had to approve them. Someone had to implement them across the platform. Deciding to work for Facebook isn't a career choice, it's a political statement.

Meta is dumb. Threads and Instagram haven't been good for creators in awhile Follow some cool people who make cool things Let me know about folks who should be on the list

from ‘Shapechangers in Winter’ By Margaret Atwood This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year’s threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath, the door of a vanished house left ajar

Felt a sudden urge to repost this comic, called “an upper-class oopsie”. Strange… must be something in the air!

Holly Cairns bossing it in Cork South West. You love to see it #GE24 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Tell the people in your lives not to vote for Aontú. They're anti-abortion, mysogonist, racist, transphobic & homophobic. If a handful of them get in they'll be in every radio debate, every newspaper article & TV panel for the next 5 years. Their rhetoric will increase violence against minorities.

Vote left transfer left! Little Deer may not survive another landlord government so here’s hoping Ireland’s election goes better than America’s. Open until 1 & 3-5 today but voting is more important so do that first and then you can buy a comic as a civic duty treat littledeercomics.ie

I only just learned that Holly Cairns, one of the most progressive voices in government today, got in by 1 vote. 1. Please vote. #ge2024
