At @offscreenff.bsky.social for the 2nd showing of "Egghead Republic". Great to see #offscreen back!

Super - thanks!

Is 1 already gone? It seems very difficult to find online. Or will there be a reissue this year?

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.] From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes: NEWSREADER: Extraordinary images here of an expat in Dubai [The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly] …Having their first ever geopolitical thought. [CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. CLIVE MYRIE: To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent DAVID JONES: Clive, this is momentous It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’. [Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same] You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self. It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts. CLIVE MYRIE: Which are…? DAVID JONES: You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa. CLIVE MYRIE: And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days? DAVID JONES: I think we can expect to see: “I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To” CLIVE MYRIE: Mmm.

That strangerers show I remember enjoying but never could find much about it after. Did it even get a dvd release?

photograph from the 80's of the wrestler Sting wearing a Gold's Gym shirt and sunglasses, leaning against a shelf in a bookstore and positively cheesing at an open copy of The Far Side Gallery 2, a collection of Far Side Cartoons.

what if i told you, through the power of forensic analysis, we are closer than ever to knowing the exact Far Side cartoon that is making Sting smile in this iconic photo. 🧵 👇

Rubio’s speech at Munich was a massive free dose of fentanyl to an addict desperate not to get clean. And it worked. Europe is full of suckers.

"Do you want to see my new

5-year prison sentence and lifetime driving ban for man that killed West Flemish family while driving drunk | VRT NWS: news A 51-year-old man responsible for a road accident in which a couple and their young daughter lost their lives in the summer of 2024 has been given a 5-year prison sentence, part of which suspended. He...

This is all very well, but this guy "already had 14 previous convictions for motoring offences". So why was he still on the road? A 5-year prison sentence (4 of which suspended) and lifetime driving ban seem mild punishment. Maybe there's no such thing as manslaughter in Belgian law.

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

Jeff Bezos is right. There is no need to have correspondents reporting in Europe when you can get all that information from Russia. They'll even pay YOU.

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression.

CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school?

DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town.

C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name?

DR: Now look

they should copy brussels, and start a 'mystery bus' that you can get on if you don't know what to do that day and it takes you to a mystery location

it's a public mental health initiative for people who feel a bit lost

(in brussels it's called "not-the-48")

Edited far side cow tools cartoon. A cutout photo of Veronika the brown cow stands behind a table with a push broom on it. Caption reads "cow tools".

@offscreenff.bsky.social any idea when the agenda for 2026 is coming? 😅😇

We go outside, so I can show the police the old plans in context. I look into the hole the workers dug. See the pavement blocks, the sand they laid them on, and below that, rich black dirt. I exclaim "Oh! That's graveyard dirt! I'd know it anywhere! That's well fed dirt, if you know what I mean."

“We’ve invented a machine the destroys our own planet, drives inequality and the rise of global fascism, destroys truth and veracity, undermines all of human achievements in knowledge, science, medicine, arts and culture. And frankly we’re upset that you’re not that into it and call us names.”

imagine being the guy who accidentally said "weasel" at a weird time 2400 years ago

My Greenland prediction:
1.) The U.S. won't attack.
2.) It won't attack because it was stopped.
3.) It being stopped will be used to tar people urgent about it being stopped as hysterics

it's interesting to see criticism of stancil that basically amounts to "yes, he's doing good things in the real world, but don't lose sight of the fact that he's annoying online." please take a breath.

A cartoon illustration of 3 people dressed as ghosts standing in an abandoned house, realizing that the 4th person standing with them is actually a floating ghost. Caption reads "The 3 of them had been having a wonderful time playing 'ghosts' in the old house until they realized they were now 4."

Whoa. #grickledoodle #horror #haunted #ghosts #games #cartoon #art #drawing #funny

Feels like something cracked today in the transatlantic alliance. Europeans have been swallowing their pride, bitting their tongues, and bending the knee. That strategy may have bought them time but it has now clearly failed. It also had a major cost - it has made the WH think Europe will cave. 1/

Hahahahahahaha

Paddington in Godzilla Minus One (2023)

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1765

Anyone who's followed Zig and Zag on the socials these last few years know what a treasure trove of material they're sitting on - the process stuff from their books alone would make an INCREDIBLE exhibition. I'm so chuffed they're setting up a proper peak under the Zogabongs.

THEY MET DAVID BOWIE!

pepe le pew is an unrealistic depiction of a French intellectual because he only pursues adult cats.

THE MACHINE - BY DESIGN - IS ALLOWING PEOPLE TO REMOVE WOMEN'S CLOTHING WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT AND TO MAKE CSAM.

How are we at 'good sides to it too, you know?'?
