Disability doesn’t care how old you are. Specialist food is no cheaper if you’re 19. Employers don’t lose their prejudice if you’re 21. This is blatant intergenerational inequality from Labour. Younger disabled people of all severities deserve better. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

DVD for 👇 came in the post yesterday - another discovery via @antbit.projectedfigures.com. Old(er) people (esp. women) as heroes/villains - or at least as protagonists with agency, autonomy, & predilections normally reserved for the young on screen - is a favourite micro-genre in our household...

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green looks at Blue as Blue is dramatically laying down on the floor.
Blue: You can go ahead and go to that party. I'll just be here by my self, alone.

Green looks at Blue with a frustrated frown, as Blue sticks his tongue out while making a disgusted face.
Green: You could also come with me.
Blue: I don't like people.

Green raises an eyebrow.
Green: Don't I count as "people?"
Blue: Of course not. You're the love of my life.

Picked up these classics yesterday in Khan's bookshop in Kilkenny. Normally a happy occasion to fill some gaps on the shelves at bargain prices, but this was a closing-down sale, with Khan driven out of business by rising costs, particularly electricity. Who needs books when we've got data centres?

As well as the damage to artists, the tidal wave of AI is totally drowning out educational and good travel accounts. We are being buried alive by it. For me to do one post for @tuatha.ie I have to visit the site, edit the images, research info and write a post balanced to a general audience...
An AI post of Poulnabrone Dolmen, though this one is reasonably realistic and not as obvious, you can tell it's AI as Poulnabrone does not have a sea view, also the gentians dont flower there like in the image. But this shows how difficult it is becoming to tell the real from fakeAnother AI image, this time I think it is supposed to be Knowth in the Boyne Valley, this is more obviously fake but only if you know the real siteAnother AI image supposedly representing the Grianán, this is pretty rubbishA truly terrible AI representation of Newgrange

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com
Image: In a childrens library, a small boy contentedly reads a small picture book, while an angry-looking small girl storms past, carrying a very heavy book.

Caption:
Unfortunately for Charlotte, the adjudication committee decides that, for the purposes of the under-nines summer reading challenge, the six volumes of proust's 'in search of lost time' is considered to be one single narrative, whereas each of Roger hargreaves' mister men' books is a distinct work, thereby awarding the library's 'top reader' sticker to her brother Toby.

incredible discovery here: the 1762 original of the ha ha ha yes sicko cartoon courtesy of thomas waters new book “Magic”
DECODING HOGARTH'S CREDULITY, SUPERSTITION AND FANATICISM
English artist William Hogarth s iconic engraving Credulity, Superstition, and Fanaticism. A Medley
(1762) expresses the growing tendency, in the 18th-century West, to mock magic. The scene brims with contemporary references and tropes, showcasing different examples of misplaced beliefs.

The print shows a confused scene of various dramatic poses inc a witch on broomstick, preacher etc and crucially a Turkish Muslim looking in through the window Detail of the Turkish man from larger image “TURKISH MAN
A Turkish Muslim man looks in from the window, smiling at the foolishness of the Christians gathered inside.”Yes, ha ha ha, yes Sickos meme of man looking through a window.Front cover of Thomas waters’ Magick
