Anyway, there's nothing like a war in the Middle East to remind us why we need renewable energy. More solar, wind, tidal and wave power please!

One of those captcha things. This one says ‘select all images with bicycles. Click verify once there are none left’. There are 9 squares - 4 contain photos of bicycle seats, with the remaining 5 showing the beautiful head and face of a grey greyhound with a white stripe going from the top of their head to the tip of their nose.
Hats off to whoever did this (and the beautiful model).
This cartoon I drew the other day sold, so I've made prints available for you. Just search the title I'm Not Mad At You. Please remember that part of the proceeds of all my art goes towards social justice people and organizations.
The always excellent David Squires - with a laudable ending to this week's offering.

Pretty sure that was exactly his point:
"feelings that might otherwise have to go elsewhere"
Meaning the states are missing that football.
Aware they do have sport, but seems it's largely soulless franchises that move around, not community-based.

It's time. The USA is a rogue nation and it's not safe any anyone to travel to. The footballing world needs to take a principled stand and not send their teams to play.
Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there
Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.
hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison
Dear Liberals,
I strongly encourage you to check what other "he would never!" <shocked opossum meme> thoughts you had, and to start acting as if yes, he may well.
Now.
This does seem just a little bit bad! Idk the sort of thing you’d think politicians might distance themselves from or something!
Title: New year's resolution A man sits at a table with a coffee writing in a notebook: “This year i will devote myself completely to reading serious, improving literature, forsaking easy pleasures and tirelessly seeking out truth and profundity in the work of the greatest writers.” He looks at it Says: Hmm... then “Scratch Scratch Scratch scratch” scribbles out words until the text reads: “This year I will read for Fun”
Happy New Year, everyone!
This is a @theguardian.com books cartoon from a few years ago.

Zack Polanski: spend £400m on kindness to channel migrants.
The Telegraph highlighting - yet missing - two vital points here.
1) We're not calling for £476m to be spent. It already is - this is about diverting it to actually helping.
2) Why "cruelty" in question? The £476m we're spending is part of an operation tear gassing babies.
What sad news to read just as I am, indeed, Driving Home For Christmas.
The Northeast may not miss me for a few days, but it will certainly miss Chris Rea.

As we look fwd to Christmas dinner, remember the migrant workforce who make it all possible on our farms, picking & processing our food🎄
These workers should be protected from exploitation but restrictive visa conditions make them vulnerable-

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.
It was excellent, wasn't it? It's been a few years now, I've been thinking about going back through it again.
I can barely comprehend how despicable it is to order the deaths of defenceless people merely in order to feel more manly.
This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started
