For more on usiness Interests™️ fear of another New Deal–The Big Myth: How American Business Made Us Loathe Gov’t & Love the Free Market, by @naomioreskes.bsky.social & @erikconway.bsky.social. @matthewstoller.bsky.social’s Goliath shows that monopolists fear a New Deal more than revolution/chaos.

For the same reason he did everything possible to stymie counting #Covid19 casualties. If we don’t count it, it doesn’t count.

I always thought of Death as being an Ingmar Bergman Seventh Seal kind of character. Turns out he's a Ringling Bros clown with orange face paint.

This is not Mills' first rodeo. She was Maine's Attorney General for eight years, chosen by a majority Dem legislature, and went head-to-head with the proto-Felon, GOP Gov. Paul LePage. n.b. LePage won two terms w/ 30-something percent of the vote thanks to a moronic third party run. #MaineKnows

I wonder if this is because they aren't working in the place where Trump tried to have them killed.

He is such a disgusting, sexual predator who needs the medicine of a long prison term. One month so far in Drumpf's Turd Reich feels like a decade. Everyone needs to stand together in solidarity against him. The Republican politicians certainly have no backbone and will always bend over for him

Hi. Any chance of some clarification? Who do you mean? The Felon? Me? Mills? All three?

Excellent cartoon. Dictator Putin looming behind the Felon would be good, too.

I may need an "AI Agent," charming term BTW, to shift my bias that AI is a techbro scam useful mostly for commodifying human creativity without copyright, using more fossil fuel energy than it is worth, and failing to address the problems it creates.

Came here to say exactly that. If anyone is wondering what to do with the $$ they save canceling the Brazilian River News & the Old Grey Crone, send it to the @texasobserver.org .

Editorial cartoons opened the op-ed pages and the importance of newspapers to me nearly six decades ago. If I were a cartoonist I could show you what that has meant. Since I’m not, I’ll go with, thank you.

Both Finland and Estonia are decades ahead of the US in all things internet, especially finance. Finlanders stopped dealing with paper checks in the 1990s. Their systems are secure & they have zero oligarchs.

Please repost! Humour can get to people better than conversing: though you might have to read out aloud, the couple of words in the cartoon. And explain who the people are & everything etc.... nothing is simple. Morten Morland’s UK The Times cartoon: February 18, 2025

While I know exactly where this tape was shot because a friend used to work at this California ranch, I’m definitely not dropping the address into this quicksand. Not AI; totally all Albert.
