This is not a joke, unfortunately: Donald Trump and a group of individuals incarcerated for their alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 riot have collaborated on a song called “Justice for All.” It will debut Thursday at midnight on streaming services, including Apple Music and Spotify, according to a person with knowledge of the project. The track interpolates Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance into “The Star-Spangled Banner,” which is performed by a group of about 20 inmates, called the J6 Prison Choir, housed at the Washington, D.C. jail. The song ends with the inmates chanting, “USA!” Profits are slated to benefit the families of people imprisoned for their alleged roles in the Capitol riots that left five people dead. A music video featuring footage of Trump performing patriotic acts during his presidency and shots of the riots, including police firing tear gas, will debut later Friday morning on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast. Trump recorded the Pledge of Allegiance at Mar-a-Lago a couple of weeks ago, specifically for this track.

Long time without a blog post, but I have been active on social media. I had an issue on the website with posting new article and I fixed it this afternoon (oh, the joy of self hosting... -_-`). Anyway:
I'm still penciling on the next episode of Pepper&Carrot, and this week, I did my daily warm-up before working on the pages with the sketches you'll find here under.
Here is a cleaned compilation of them (credits in image descriptions). These are all mascots of Free/Libre and open-source web services interoperable using the activityPub protocol (eg.Peetrube/Mastodon/Misskey/Pleroma/PixelFed/Funkwhale), the global name of the network resulting of the interaction of all these apps is named the Fediverse.

This past month has been consumed with the fact that there’s something in the sky! By now, you know a lot about the Chinese balloon and its fate. The U.S. sent F-22 fighter jets with F-15s and others in support, to blow it out of the sky with a Sidewinder missile. It’s a good thing […]

And is it too early to start drinking? You might want to put off watching this Jon Stewart clip until after noon. Firearm death stats for kids here. This tweet featuring lies and lying liars is easier to take somehow. After my post below, I’m a bit wrung out. We have a lot to worry about. OTOH, rewatching this clip helps: We have won victory after victory after victory to get here.
Note: this is an unedited draft chapter section from my inflation manuscript. I am not too happy with this, but perhaps getting savaged on the internet might give me some additional things to add. This section follows more detailed discussions of equities and residential real estate.
We will now conclude this chapter with some general comments on the relationship between inflation and the overall financial markets. What we see is that there are some areas of direct linkage between inflation (as measured by a consumer price index) and some financial assets, other assets have a more complex relationship. As a result, making generalisations is difficult – equity prices are not going to move the same way as the prices of cheesy snacks at your local convenience store.…

How often do you proclaim ‘Thank God it’s Friday!’ after a gruelling week at work? For those of us whose lives are structured into five-day work weeks, weekends are our chance to rest, pursue hobbies and leisure, and spend time with friends and family. We’ve never known anything else. But the weekend is a relatively […]

Gov. Wokety-woke DeWoke: Selling America by the pound Death by a thousand cuts is too euphemistic a phrase to describe what Gov. Wokety-woke DeWoke and his Florida GOP accomplices are doing there: Florida Sen. Jason Brodeur (R-Lake Mary) wants bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and other members of the Florida executive cabinet or legislature to register with the state or face fines. Brodeur’s proposal, Senate Bill 1316: Information Dissemination, would require any blogger writing about government officials to register with the Florida Office of Legislative Services or the Commission on Ethics.Florida bill targets union due collections for public school teachers In the bill, Brodeur wrote that those who write “an article, a story, or a series of stories,” about “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature,” and receives or will receive payment for doing so, must register with state offices within five days after the publication of an article that mentions an elected state official.

When talking to someone about a celebrity, let’s say your dear friend Madonna, always assume they know who you’re talking about and use their nickname. It’s insulting to refer to her as Madonna when you all call her Maddie. It implies that you think your conversation partner doesn’t know Madonna intimately.

I arrive outside the Amazon warehouse in Coventry around 6AM on a chilly Tuesday morning. It might be cold, but I’m feeling the warmth of the picket line. It was even colder last month when Amazon workers in Coventry made history by engaging in the UK’s first formal Amazon strike. This time the atmosphere is […]
