“#MartinRowson and #EllaBaron are both regular contributors to the #Guardian’s daily #PoliticalCartoon. Martin has been with the Guardian for decades; Ella has been contributing since 2022. This week, we challenged the pair to draw on the same subject (Trump and a world in turmoil), on the same day, to see what each – with their different styles, tools and perspectives – would come up with.

Martin landed on a #Shakespearean scene, with a warped “King Leer” flanked by snickering world leaders. Ella proposed him squatting in a #dystopian nest, surrounded by his spoils.”

Cartoons and #satire have almost disappeared from #newspapers.

“Martin Rowson has been drawing for the Guardian since the 1980s; Ella Baron since 2022. In paint and pixels, each is tasked with capturing the chaos and absurdity of our political moment”

"I have to have something to sell tickets. The stuff you sent the other day isn’t it."

Fedi, I'm petty. And hurt. And pissed off. Now, as the saying goes: in matters of taste, the customer is always right. HOWEVER.

I love these promos. What do you think, fedi friends? Are you coming to my murder mystery?

“There was a great burgeoning industry of #Shakespearean #biography in the Victorian period.

Retellings of Shakespeare

I am so stressed about today being January 6th, that I haven't been able to finish Act I. But final edits ARE on Scene 3, so we're close.

At the end of Scene 2, you get Maxx waxing frustrated at U.S. politics from the POV of a FFXIV original character.

So please enjoy while I finish the rest! 💙

THE LINE

I will this night
In several posts upon his pad alight,
As if they came from several citizens,
Writings, all tending to the great opinion
Allag holds of his name, wherein obscurely
Kæsar’s ambition shall be glancèd at
And after this, let Kæsar seat him sure,
For we will shake him, or worse days endure.

THE FOOTNOTE

This is all a very pretty way of saying, “I’mma do a social media misinformation campaign!” And I think we all have a lot to be grateful for that social media’s only just starting to be a thing for us. Pray for your players, though; they’ve gotten so good at misinformation, some of them elected a Spongebob Squarepants-shaped Roegadyn who dyes his marmot-fur toupee every Loporrit’s favorite color to be their head of state.
Humans are a problem in every multiverse, I swear.

A vibrant outdoor garden scene in Eorzea centered on Maxx, a male Miqo'te with spiked red-and-black hair and blue eyes. He is captured in a playful, irreverent pose: his head is cocked sharply to the right with a faint, knowing smirk, projecting a sense of unbothered mischief. He wears a red mesh top over a black harness and a short black skirt, with intricate floral tattoos spanning his arms and a stylized mark on his cheek. His arms are held slightly away from his body with open palms in a shrug-like gesture that emphasizes his nonchalant attitude. In the lower right foreground, his husband Gladjen—a female-presenting Viera—is only partially visible, her red and white coat serving as a close-cropped anchor to Maxx’s whimsical defiance. The background features lush greenery, mushroom stools, and tea tables, further softening the scene to center on Maxx’s playful personality.

EDIT: That is my boyfriend and he is very nice and he is shareable.

Wow, I should not be typing in public rn. 😹

A screenshot of a Discord chat between two users, Ellis Cú Anann Arcwolf and Vic Dhivri. Ellis begins with a mock-archaic sentence: "Uh oh. I have dranked a little overmuch." Vic replies with "oh no lol" and two emoji reactions (a laughing cat and a heart). Ellis immediately follows up with a series of typos and a realization of the irony, saying, "That was terrible Shakespearean Engli," then "Elighs," and finally "Fuck XD," illustrating a humorous "drunk texting" moment or a slip in typing.

Sadly today’s gag on #Etymology just didn’t work out. #Patootie has no latin roots to speak of . Barren , bereft even , in some #Shakespearean sense, of even modest pedigree. If ur not talking about someone’s arse potatoes is all that’s left. On the other hand…lotsa #Irish in there…

Cavicchioli, Divo Germano - "La Mandragola" di Alberto Lattuada, 1965

#Cavicchioli #AlbertoLattuada #European #Shakespearean #photography #Italian #Cinema

https://www.fondazione3m.it/page_scheda.php?id=16223

The image is a black and white photograph of a man standing in what appears to be an old, European architectural setting. He is dressed in elaborate period clothing, including a fur-lined coat with wide lapels, a high collar, and a sash that drapes over his shoulder. His attire suggests a historical or theatrical context, possibly referencing a Shakespearean play given the style of his costume.

The man leans casually against a stone wall, one hand on his hip while the other is raised to his side, with his elbow bent at the elbow. He wears a dark beard and mustache, and has short, styled hair. His facial expression is neutral, and he gazes directly into the camera.

In the background, there are elements of classical architecture such as columns and arches that enhance the historical ambiance of the scene. There's no visible text in the image to provide additional context or information about the setting, characters, or era. The photograph conveys a sense of drama and may have been used for promotional purposes, such as advertising a stage play, given its stylized nature and the presence of period-specific clothing.

My newest sonnet is confused about the weather - like we all perhaps. There are still a few twists.
