Feels annoying that I have to specify that from here on out, politicians need to have adult-level emotional regulation.

A #PudgyHorse tribute to the Lascaux cave paintings, painted with the Strata Trio watercolours made by @thoughtsupnorth.bsky.social from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020.

Might as well post this one as it's been stolen and sold on Australian Temu. 🙃

I mean, um, hey, you okay?

It's not easy to cape for actual war crimes, I know. This strawman is really flimsy and very flammable though.

Do better.
If the US Coast Guard stops a ship in international waters and seizes their cocaine, is that a war crime? The ship has not done anything illegal. Should we prosecute the Coast Guard Captain for piracy?

Been getting a lot of pushback, especially on Threads, so, Mea Culpa: In hindsight, had I known that calling all Trump supporters racist would hurt their feelings and make them so upset, I would have done it much sooner. Sorry, I'll try to do better.

the whole trump / Hegseth etc defense of “oh it was the other guy” doesn’t really work when it’s your policy and operation, when you’re the guy in charge, and when you are refusing to turn over anyone over for criminal charges and are therefore aiding and abetting
Yes. And lawyers in the admin, once informed of details, knew how fucking bad it was and told senior colleagues, and then the scapegoating began zeteo.com/p/trump-hegs...

My "I don't support Sex with Hitler" statement has a lot more people asking about my support for "Sex with Hitler."
I don't support either game. I was clearly being sarcastic and people were twisting it to somehow come to the conclusion that I support SWH which I obviously do not.

Please show these homes that were occupied. Please demonstrate how many unbanked individuals afforded homes nobody can afford.
JD Vance: "Why did homes get so unaffordable? Because we had 20 million illegal aliens in this country taking homes that ought by right go to American citizens."

What is he gibbering about?!
Trump: "Under Boot Edge Edge - another grossly incompetent. Get on his bicycle, ride to work. What they do is they take the fiber optics & they take fiber, try to hook it into copper. And fiber and copper don't mix. You can't do it...you saw that by the helicopter crash. You saw that into the plane"

Doodles for Hong Kong 🇭🇰

In response to the tragic Tai Po fire, I'm doing charity commissions. Anyone who puts over £25/250HKD into "Feeding Hong Kong" or Hong Kong SPCA can request a coloured doodle of any prehistoric animal 🙏

"Maybe somebody should close the door..."
Kaine: "We had to pry with a crowbar after weeks and weeks out of the administration the supposed rationale for the strikes in international waters. It was very shoddy. It was not at all persuasive that these are legal actions ... It's time for Congress to rein in the president."

Pain has been the lot of those in poverty, and they are expected to perform it to be deemed worthy.

Somehow we don't expect any suffering from the wealthy.

The wealthy can afford to suffer, and should.

Hitler was bad.

An essay that, you know, I didn’t think I’d need to write.
Perry: The pro-Hitler problem with the American right
"We need to get back to the basics: Hitler was bad. The people who suggest otherwise are also bad," David M. Perry writes.
