Nick Cave is part of the Australian representation at the coronation. Nick Cave reveals ‘inexplicable attachment’ to British royals ahead of attending king’s coronation (Guardian).

Leak, Son of Leak:

Albanese is a republican (as in opposite of a monarchist) but he is going to swear allegiance to the new king (all MPs have to for the sitting monarch anyway).

Knight:

Victorian opposition leader John Pesutto. Exiled MP Moira Deeming tells Opposition Leader John Pesutto she is taking legal action over her suspension (ABC). Deeming is the MP who helped organise the anti trans rally that neo nazis attended and did nazi salutes on the steps of the state parliament. Pesutto wanted to expel her but the party only agreed to suspend her. Now Deeming demanded Pesutto make a statement declaring that she wasn't affiliated with Nazis which he refused so she is taking legal action.
Also: Drag children's storytime event cancelled in Melbourne following violence threats (SBS).

It's honestly amazing, the sheer level of detail Collins can put into a relatively simple art style. His Theresa May was great as well, just dripping with desperation.

I glanced at this with a double take thinking "who's that supposed to be, Nick Cave?" And sure enough. Great caricatures. Wonder why American cartoonists tend to be so much worse at this kind of caricature.

The artist likes to scan the NYT for titles they can use for this sort of throwaway. Here's the article- basically there's a degree of fingerpointing about whether the current civil conflict would have been prevented by leaning on some of the actors harder or less hard (and it appears several other autocratic countries in the region, and Russia, played a likely role in the reversal, but that's not really part of the cartoonist's thesis).

David Horsey posted:

There is reason to doubt the political sanity of U.S. House Republicans who are refusing to raise the debt ceiling that allows the United States government to pay debts already incurred by past acts of Congress. There is also plenty of reason to doubt their sincerity.

Regarding sincerity, Republican congressmen only threaten to put the nation in default when a Democrat is in the White House. Though spending and debt have gone up and up through four administrations, they did not go to the brink for their elastic fiscal principles when George W. Bush was president, nor when Donald Trump was commander-in-chief. When Democrat Barack Obama was in charge, though, they pushed dangerously close to the edge of disaster and now are ready to do the same with Joe Biden.

That looks suspiciously like partisan politics, not financial prudence.

And, indeed, there is nothing prudent about what the Republicans are trying to do this time. They lack the votes to make the cuts they want in the normal budget process, so, instead, they are trying blackmail: “Give us what we want, Biden, or we will wreck the economy.”

That is neither smart, nor sane. There is no way it makes sense for Republicans to court disaster for the sake of budget cuts that they do not sincerely care about. It is a pure game of chicken and all of us are riding in the back seat of the hurtling automobiles.

The two great demigods of the current GOP, Ronald Reagan and Trump, both spoke against playing games with the debt ceiling. Reagan, though a constant critic of excessive government spending, warned several times that Congress should not play politics with raising the debt limit.

“This country now possesses the strongest credit in the world,” Reagan said, admonishing the representatives and senators of his era. “The full consequence of a default — or even the serious prospect of default — by the United States are impossible to predict and awesome to contemplate.”

In his diary, Reagan wrote about his negotiations with Congressional leaders: “I sounded off and told them I’d veto every drat thing they sent down unless they gave us a clean debt ceiling bill.”

Too bad Reagan is not around today to urge Republicans to act like rational human beings and give Joe Biden his own unfettered debt ceiling legislation.

Not shown is that earlier this same triceratops gored several small animals to death because he was surprised. Then an early mammal knocked on his door so of course he gored that one too. Two panels after this comic he gores his friend to death because he mistakes him for a predator.

One side wants to cut spending on social services in exchange for raising the limit on deficit spending, the other side wants to not hold people's medicare and social security hostage for an arbitrary limit to deficit spending.

Truly both sides are one and the same.

I did think of that option, but dismissed it because I don't think there would be enough time between the cartoon being published and the coronation for an outfit to be handmade.

:tif: Sinfest Sunday :tif:, in which we spend another few days in hell, followed by Tats suddenly remembering that his bread and butter is a combination of media illiteracy and being a transphobic piece of poo poo. He also found a month old newspaper in a dumpster outside of whatever his day job is now. After that he wheels out his other one joke, and in the process implies that even when you're literally in hell, you're not supposed to want to fight back against it. And then, finally... nothing happens.






At least we've got some Pettyfests out of it for a change.
