The literal reading of this statement is Pam Bondi is planning extrajudicial executions of random protesters.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

sheer spite press @sheerspite.bsky.social · 1d

Every zine fest is a miracle and a labour of love, but here are some things that I have experienced that make for a zine fair that is especially nice to table at:

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I'm starting a seperate Super Seconds Festival thread for PRINTS because I have a ridiculous number of prints in clearance! 👀
First up are these green or pink Pills Are OK rainbows!
www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4...

#ArtShop #bsnm #UKGiftAM

A photo of an A5 print held in a hand for scale. It has a green background and features my simple illustration of a 4 arc rainbow with different shaped and coloured pills in each arc. In the semi-circle at the bottom is a half red half white pill with the letters O K written inside.

An A5 print of the same design but in pinks with red and white accents.
