A great many of the (wonderful) stories about Ireland's (wonderful) UBI plan for artists tend to bury if not duck completely the hard cold fact that it was funded largely by Google's billion-euro settlement of tax-evasion charges.

RUN THEM DOWN
LOOT THEM
IT WORKS

Good luck, Caerffili.

“When we realised these jewels were only stolen to inflate the share price of a company whose entire value relies on the wholesale theft of other people’s art, we had no choice but grant immunity,”

Ooooff. The desperation on that. Can only imagine how unhinged they're going to get.

These Gestapo fucks don't need a funny soundtrack.

We're meant to mock them when they're farting out their pathetic ideology not when they're putting it into practice. This is terrifying.

Very excited about the latest addition to the Jeffcoate collection. Have wanted a print of it for years. (",)

One reason the fascists are using terror tactics, bellowing draconian threats and demanding compliance so loudly is because they have real weaknesses around numbers and capacity. Their grip is weaker than it looks and the resistance they're already getting scares them.

'Fascists like being able to do things that they deny others...

When you expect them to act consistently, or have a coherent set of moral values, you are projecting your own competency onto them, and [...] you are not seeing them clearly.'

These are precedented times and the precedent is a loud ass warning

This afternoon is a three Moam problem.

26 Police Officers were injured in Londons fascist riots, but only 9 people were arrested.

At last week's Palestine Action protest 0 Police Officers were injured, but nearly 900 people were arrested.

The UK govt is chasing Reform votes & colluding with fascism, home & abroad.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Once again a dinosaur was discovered in Wales and they did not name it Dainosaur... It's a fucking outrage.

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

You will never guess where this is going.

Witnessing the AI artist get kicked out of the DragonCon artist alley was satisfying.

I've just woken up. What is going on? Is he dead?

Remember that dude with the Plasticine Action tshirt, with the pic of Morph on it, who got arrested for wearing it in London?

He has set up a site selling the tshirts with all proceeds going to the charity Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).

You know what to do! ⬇️

New additions to the Jeffcoate collection! I've been after some @thejedhenry.bsky.social prints for ages and just always missed the shop open window. BUT NOT THIS TIME, BABY! Very excited to have these. (",)

We need to big this up, a V important legal judgement; if it had gone against us it would have been all over the oligarch/transphobic media as a "Landmark" case. I suspect it may be very useful in preventing Universities from silencing trans people under the pretext of pandering to the OfS.

Love that I now have a justification for never dealing with the 2000+ unread emails in my inbox.
