A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”

This is from 1975.

Download link for this and the Antislop Mix from a couple of weeks ago. Put in Dropbox because Mediafire blocked them

NBC News poll

Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

Truly a perfect news alert

Our government keeps telling us America can't afford universal health care or expanding Medicare for ALL. There's a reason for that.🗽

Use code "THANKYOU" when checking out everywhere as it's a safe bet it'll work somewhere.

And by somewhere I mean in real shops to the checkout staff. And by "use" I mean saying it out loud to get the exclusive rewards of good vibes all round

Doing a survey thing with the ONS this afternoon. Easy £50, I'm doing well with "free money" this year one way or another, up to about £450 in vouchers so far...

A New Spy Radio Signal Has Appeared. It's Broadcasting in Farsi. A new shortwave numbers station appeared the day the bombs fell. Nobody knows who's running it.

On the day that the US and Israel started bombing Iran a shortwave radio station began broadcasting numbers – a technique commonly used by spy agencies to transmit orders in code. A strange, compelling listen – thanks @scannerdot.com for the heads-up

I'm always fascinated by asshole chefs (admittedly a redundant phrase) because this behavior isn't coming from someone trying to solve cancer or make cars run on water, just some dick who wants to make a fancy carrot bowl, like where the fuck do you get off, it's fucking appetizers

An Amazon listing entitled: “Flymind Safe Keychain Set for Girls with Personal Safety Alarm, Hand Sanitizer Holder, Whistle and Pom - Rating 4.5”

There is a circle of images surrounding an image of the keychain itself. Those images are captioned anticlockwise as follows:

“For students
For gifts
For women alone
For elderly
For outdoor sports
For potential murder”

All the images are stock photos apart from “For potential murder” which is an unsettling illustration of a wide-eyed face being gagged by a hand from behind.

Was just browsing handy keychains for my daughter and this took a dark and unexpected turn.

A handicap blue and white painted sign on the asphalt of a parking space. The symbols are meant to be a pregnant women and a baby stroller, but it doesn't look like that. It looks like pac man being killed with scissors next to a dancer

Seriously, in the best possible way, there are some people who are just one weird science accident off fighting Spider-Man.

This is no longer about saving the corner building. It's lost. All the SFRS can do is try to prevent what would be a catastrophic spread to Glasgow Central Station.
