Honestly last year I went from Lisbon to Glasgow to get some sun (there was torrential rain in Lisbon all winter), climate collapse is making it so that things are fucked in novel and mysterious ways

That Taxil is commemorated in the most ostentatious church of Marseille despite having likely remained an anti-clericalist until his dying breath and having made fools out of the devout Catholics he spent 12 years lying to is pretty fucking hilarious

Taxil is the principal originator of how conspiracists think about Freemasonry today, and he did it all as part of a long con that went out of control and eventually completely consumed his legacy. By the time he revealed his schtick to be a gag (he converted to Catholicism for the bit) nobody cared

something that I neglected to mention is that I accidentally bumped into memorials to 2 absolute stinkers while in Marseille: Alexander I of Yugoslavia, tinpot despot shot by an IMRO militant in the city, commemorated as having died "for liberty", and a little church plaque dedicated to Léo Taxil

in my head this is how I'd appear if I tried lesbianism on an app, and the main reason I am not trying is I'm basically anxiously pre-empting transphobia

thank you officer I feel so safe with you staring at me suspiciously in 5 different spots in this store as you Brownian motion your way thru trying to compensate for your diminutive height. Please, make sure to block my path as often as possible so that I eventually give you an excuse to start shit

In Portugal in addition to the mall cops every so often you'll get actual cops assigned to a mall, walking side-by side, blocking you from walking to the fucking cash register because they have to walk as slowly as possible while taking up as much space as possible

We help the Ukrainians blow up the Russian treat warehouses, the Russians cyberattack our treats in revenge, now nobody gets next day shipping on anything. Thank you Vladimir Vladimirovich Degrowth

I think what most scared certain circles is his refusal to go along with the rhetoric of having to "calm the markets". to them it's him assuming that the economy isn't real, to me it's an indication that he'd actually be willing to use his prerogatives to break the stranglehold of capital

here's a man openly pushing to put people first over dry economic indices, and all the cuddly socdems and austerity conservatives are going rabid. "he's acting as if the markets don't exist" say they, "he's refusing the fetishism of the whole thing" says I

mélenchon often leans into megalomania and grandiose, sweeping statements (whether it's a rhetorical flourish necessary for survival in french politics, or a reflection of genuine proclivities is not fully known to me) but the current round of Sensible Moderate outrage at the man is delicious to me

(looking at a kiwi bird) it's so cool that evolution has made so many creatures look so fucking goofy and has given us the faculties to appreciate it

if I hear anyone talking about cortisol, endorphins, or oxytocin I'm just gonna assume that they're talking bullshit unless they give ample, peer-reviewed evidence to the contrary. If they talk about pheromones I'm gonna assume they're talking bullshit regardless of what they say or do

I was about 12 and on the escapist and even I understood what was going on, unless you were dropped on the head you're only making yourself seem either disingenuous or like the biggest mark on Planet Earth

sticky biological reality 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🥵🥵🥵 who the fuck is Jacobin for at this point? I've seen Sunkara praised in UnHerd for introducing a "conservative socialism". So glad my article got rejected from there when I was 18 or I would've grown up rotten

I guess there's residues of that in Portugal (besides the legacies of the 25th of April), and the ones I know in Portugal tend to be big on cooperating with communists. In Poland meanwhile anarchists are rather violently sectarian/anticommunist, and also much more numerous than communists

If anything is going to erode Polish support for Ukraine in this constellation of events, it's Poland's otherwise useless prime minister acting as if he's just read the Wikipedia article on the strategy of tension and decided to act accordingly

aAaaAAAAAAda @oinkophobia.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I don't think Putin is a particularly rational actor but he is also not the Joker and isn't spending half of his espionage budget on making teenagers from violent homes with no clear political aims stab elementary-schoolers. Or on the world's most foilable assassination plot organised via Facebook

100

aAaaAAAAAAda @oinkophobia.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Now the govt and the cops are raising alarm about a "potential Russian plot against the Prime Minister" because of some contacts between our homegrown cranks (that were seemingly designed to get the cranks to admit to violent aims, since the main instigator is also the one who reported them)

aAaaAAAAAAda @oinkophobia.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Tusk says this is all part of "hybrid actions designed to erode Polish support for Ukraine" except nobody sane would ever tie a series of school stabbings by some teenagers to Ukraine. It wouldn't be effective w/o Tusk himself constantly making the tenuous connection

100

aAaaAAAAAAda @oinkophobia.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

now becoming apparent that any level of coordination between kooks means, to the Polish govt, Russian involvement. The teenagers who did the school stabbings met on Roblox - Russian involvement. A crank texted some neonazi clique to jack off about a potential mass shooting - Russian involvement

if you're a british political cartoonist you simply cannot stop depicting kemi badenoch and zack polanski in racist and antisemitic ways, respectively. your only understanding of caricature relies on turning up calipers-o-vision
