It's that magical time of year when private jets descend on a Swiss mountain village to discuss climate change and poverty! Anyway, here's my annual reminder. I'll stop posting this when they stop avoiding the real issue: their own massive tax avoidance 💰

My latest books cartoon for Guardian Books #bookcops

Title:
#BOOKCOPS

Panel One:
A uniformed officer approaches a man sittiong at at a bar, he is reading and has a glass of red wine:
"Sir, I have reason to believe that you are engaged in "Performative reading" in a public space."

Panel Two:
"There's been a mistake, officer! I'm perusing the menu. I'm very indecisive!" says the man anxiously

The officer says: "Perhaps I can assist, sir. I'm something of a "Foodie" myself."

Panel Three:
"No need. I've decided!" says the man looking terrified

"Let me see that!" says ther officer as he grabs the menu. "As I suspected: 'Infinite Jest' Concealed inside a fake menu!"

Panel Four:
"It's a first offence, so I'm only going to shame you on social media." says the officer "Next time I'll throw the book at you!"

The man sobs.

When everything feels overwhelming do a boring job.

Why? Because it's useful, distracting and helps you feel more in control

- declutter the junk drawer
- tidy a wardrobe
- repair clothes
- fill a charity bag
- organise a desk or shelves
- clean the oven

Kikis Delivery Service Ghibli GIF

Alt: A scene from the animated film Kiki's Delivery Service. Kiki is a little witch wearing a dark blue dress and red bow in her short, black hair. She is changing lightbulbs in pink, glass lampshades with the help of her little black cat Jiji. Kiki takes an old lightbulb out of one of the lamps and puts it into poor Jiji's mouth to hold before taking the new lightbulb from his paws.

Ein Regierender Bürgermeister, der nicht nur viel zu spät auf eine Notlage reagiert, sondern während dieser Notlage erst einmal Tennis zum Nachdenken spielt, ist als Regierungschef der Bundeshauptstadt nicht mehr tragbar. Inzwischen liegen genug Gründe für den Rücktritt von Kai Wegner vor.

rbb|24 @rbb24.de · 20d

Nach rbb-Informationen spielte Berlins Regierender Kai Wegner (CDU) am Mittag Tennis in einer Anlage an der Berliner Stadtgrenze. Die Senatskanzlei bestätigte die Information auf rbb-Nachfrage. Wegner habe zwischen 13 und 14 Uhr Tennis gespielt, sei aber stets erreichbar gewesen.

Wenn es gegen Arbeitslose geht, gegen Hilfsbedürftige, gegen Alleinerziehende, gegen die Schwachen, die sich nicht wehren können: Da ist Friedrich Merz mutig, da fehlt ihm nie der Schneid. Aber gegen die USA? Gegen die Mächtigen? Da wird die Sache ‚komplex', da fehlen die Worte. Was für eine Wurst.
