Is there a cleverer way that Ukraine could have hit back at Trump doing a dirty oil deal with Putin to help him with gas prices in the midterms than turning off the army of Russian propagandists posing as heartland Americans with concerns about trans socialists?

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

All the answers- my #datacentres #climatechange cartoon for CPA magazine
A massive water guzzling, pollution pumping data centre with a sign saying "100% fossil fuelled" is looming over a tech bro and a group of people.
Tech bro is saying "...and thanks to data centres like these, AI will work out what we can do to stop climate change"

Looks like time to reup this old cartoon again for those irrepressible TERFs out there.
Scene is a public bathroom with a row of sinks and a row of stalls. A woman in a "Terf Patrol" hat and tshirt is standing on a ladder looking into a locked stall. She's saying "Just checking your genitalia to make sure you're not one of those creepy perverts who lurk in women's toilets"

And here's a #Dolly one I did last week for cpa.org.au too @floydthek.bsky.social (and I got to give the original work on paper to a massive Dolly fan I know and love)
Title: A Tribute to Dolly
Scene is a woman artist standing next to a big painting with Dolly in the middle. Around Dolly's face are little bubbles saying "Heroine of the Working Class", "lifelong Union Member", "Incredible Philanthropist', 
"Champion of Childrens' Literacy", "Staunch Ally of LGBTQI people" and "Just an all-round legend"
The artists is sayin" And her music was pretty great too"

ICYMI- My #climate cartoon for @thepointau.bsky.social
Scene is a boardroom with a table of suited (mostly) men and women.
On the wall is a sign saying "Fossil Fuel Co" and underneath the boss is saying 'I know people are losing faith in politicians these days but the ones WE own have been terrific"

Choices. My @smh cartoon.
Single frame. Paragraphs of text with small vignettes. First column: “HAPPY NEW YEAR” sign with balloons. “I sometimes think about a time when I was 16 at a New Year’s Eve party. 
Teens drank at parties then, and a log of pashing went on. It was all pretty tame.”(Image of awkward young couple pashing.)
“I liked boys a lot and at this party I got flirting with a guy…” (image of girl and guy facing each other at nigh under party lights.) “He told me he was 22, and I felt very grown up to have attracted his attention. He was surprised to discover my age.” Next column: (image of champagne bottle popping cork) “when midnight came, I hoped to have a New Year’s kiss with him. He gently declined, saying I was too young. I didn’t know what I didn’t know, and he knew better.” (Image of the same two people under fireworks, with man smiling holding hand up as “no”.)
“When I think about young men and schoolboys “getting themselves into situations”, I think about him. And all the choices we make.” (Image two guys laughing walking away from a girl crying, sitting on the ground.) (image of a speaker with “NUTBUSH CITY LIMITS” blaring.)

ALT version.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel.  To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.


This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

First woman says, “They say once we get our AUKUS subs, they’ll have a better idea of how much they have left to spend on your aged care package…”

Don’t ask me. My @smh @theage cartoon.
Six frames. 1. Fellow with clipboard bails up woman passer-by, says, “Excuse me, I’m doing a short survey. Do you think Australia takes in too many immigrants?” 2. She says,”I don’t know. I mean, are we talking about the immigrants who look after my mother in the aged care home?” 3. She continues: “Or the ones who come here to pick fruit for low wages so we have affordable fresh produce?” 4. “Or the ones working in construction to build our housing and infrastructure?” 5. “Or those training to be the medical specialists were short of?” 6. “I really don’t know. Maybe you could ask the government. They should know.”

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

No access. My @smh cartoon.
Single frame. Left, people (a bloke in a red cap; a woman checking phone with security guard; a man with camera wearing News24 vest) entering a venue inside which are visible orange balloons, a man in an orange cap welcoming. Outside is a sign saying “ONE NATION PRESENTS PAULINE HANSON LIVE! -‘MY PLAN FOR USTRAYA’” and behind that a smaller sign saying “KEEP OUT: GUARDIAN, ABC, AGE.” To the right female reporter stands talking to camera saying, “Sadly, Mrs Hanson won’t give us access, so we can only assume that what she’s selling won’t stand up to scrutiny and is not in the public interest.”
