If you've signed up for (or been conscripted into) Elf on a Shelf and are regretting it, stage a terrible skydiving accident so the nasty little grass has to spend the next month in traction.

Every year we treat ourselves to a new decoration or two for the Christmas tree and this year’s additions are just absolutely outstanding

Tempted to not add anything else as we basically have a muppet Christmas tree

This is all true but

1) under no definition are we currently at war with Venezuela under domestic US law

2) since we aren’t, the initial strike was just as much a murder as the follow up

The failure to understand this by a huge range of actors is really driving me up the wall.
If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

The EU are removing their de minimis threshold next year. So that will be the EU added to the growing list of places that I can’t sell to.
As a small business it’s getting harder and harder to keep going.
Fuck brexit and all who sail in her. 🤬

Designed in my brain with movable type, vintage printing plates and linocut, and printed on a tiny press by hand, taking five impressions to print each card. Each has unique details making them one-off.
No AI, just real art made by a real person.

Last chance for shipping next week!
Hi! Would you like some of my lovely Christmas cards?

I still have a small number of packs available and sending out a couple of times a week.

2p says they'll be fighting it out round the back by the bins within 48 hours.
Your Party spokesperson on the member vote backing 'collective leadership' of the group: "This vote shows that we really are doing politics differently: from the bottom-up, not the top-down...

"With a truly member-led party, we will offer something different: democratic, grassroots, accountable."

Nine years ago Mike Fitzgerald wrote up an extraordinarily fascinating breakdown of the differences between the Tom Stoppard shooting script and the original Jeffrey Boam draft of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

Anyone know the timeline of the current BL strikes? I really really need to go (which will involve several hundred quid in expenditure) and I don’t cross picket lines.

With a translation:

This image shows the same star field as Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) without cleaning.

In just 15 minutes of acquisition, we counted 1,659 satellite trails (about 400 individual ones).

Words cannot describe the pollution of near space.

Expelling the SWP with extreme prejudice whenever they turn up is "how to run a political party 101" and I'm amazed Zarah Sultana doesn't realise this.

Considering the usual operating fuckery of big tech, if they take her books of audio and e-book marketplaces it will probably wipe them from your library even if you've paid for and downloaded them. You might want to act accordingly.

Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:

Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

I think one of the reasons the Tories are doing so badly is that they are led by someone with the intellectual curiosity of a whelk, and everyone knows it.
There was no state. Who does she think crucified him, an anarchist collective?

Actually putting my first new card designs in years into the mix - at least two more on the way if I can get done. Natch, they’re years after I thought of them (the Cornwall based ones!) but I get there eventually! They’ll be in the shop later this week…
