I've got a treat. Up until a few months ago I worked for a startup in Bermuda. Before I left I interviewed for my replacement and one of the applicants interviewed on behalf of a design and marketing firm. Among other things, they create comics. Some of them are political. Have some Bermudan political cartoons! (They only make one a month, and not all are political, so these are old. If they make more in the future, I'll post them here.) Tell me if you can figure out what this means: "Former PLP Minister Zane DeSilva is in the hot seat due to the transfer of the Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) office to a building that he and his family own at a cost of almost $800,000 a year. Real estate experts are saying that the very high rental fees make the relocation of the concerned government department not a value for money. The DCFS was previously based at Milner House on Victoria Street, Hamilton at a cost of less than $300,000 a year. The huge difference in the rental fees is being questioned by the public but Mr. DeSilva has given no response to the press. Lieutenant-Colonel David Burch supported the transfer of the Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS). Colonel Burch claimed that the goal of the move was to “consolidate” the department under one roof to ensure the safeguarding of Bermuda’s children. Colonel Burch also stressed that the current office provides adequate space for the entire department and a modern technological interface, thus making the relocation an advantageous decision." "Bermuda Government is sweetening the pot."

Pope: They're our family': Australia pledges 1m Covid-19 vaccine doses to Papua New Guinea (Guardian). In the window is Papua New Guinea's PM James Marape, the image outside the window resembles the PNG flag. "They're our family, they're our friends, they're our neighbours" is what Morrison said of PNG when he announced the pledge, "I don't hold a hose, mate" is what Morrison said when questioned about why he went to Hawaii when Australia was burning in 2019.

Hell, the Republicans have shown that they view the Senate as just a game of Calvinball. They can't even be bothered to pay lipservice to the rules they made up the last time a supreme court Justice died in the final year of a presidency. That anyone would think that the Republicans would play fair is mind-boggling dumb, but here we are.

gently caress you. Even by the standards of political cartoons this poo poo is disingenuous. First, it will be a cold day in hell before the GOP ever puts money towards schools or roads, instead of payoffs for defense contractors and the wealthy. Second, the stimulus bill includes 170 billion in education funding. Third, the vast majority of bill is social spending on poverty and public health. Fourth, the discretionary spending portion goes directly to states and local governments, which is exactly what the GOP has claimed to want all along. Remind me again Stantis, where was this concern for the debt during the GOP's 1.9 trillion give away to the wealthy?

Gannett has over 250+ papers, though not all of them were necessarily running Tinsley. Still it's a substantial number. They don't give an exact reason other than "Cartoon doesn't meet our standards", but speculation is these two cartoons earned him the well deserved boot.
