If one thing from the past couple of years is plain to anyone with an ounce of common-sense is the heavy-handed and clumsy use of propoganda to push a narrative by which people can be encouraged to follow a desired path. Okay I just mansplained that, so I’ll do it for the rest of thisContinue reading “Propoganda Now”

Easter in Images
When I’m feeling lazy but still want to post something relevant I turn to cartoons. It’s fun to see how some people with talent and a twisted view on the world can create such things.
Back to the Future
Way back in the dark ages of the early 1970’s I read an article in the newspaper of how treasure hunters had located Allied military bases that had been abandoned. The treasure hunters had found a stash of goods worth hundreds of thousands. This fuelled my desire to be one of theose treasure hunters whoContinue reading “Back to the Future”
That didn’t age well
Caroonists have a special way of putting across a point of view. Some are blatantly biased while others seem to be a vision of the future. Either way this is a trip down memory lane from 2020 to present on how these times were seen by some.
Cry Havoc
Is it just me or does it seem like some leaders are very keen for a war that has the potential to consume the world yet once again? I could write volumes on this but decided that a bit of a look backwards in time to when the world was filled with uncertainty, hate, andContinue reading “Cry Havoc”
Insert Title Here
It’s always nice to rewind in time a bit and see how cartoons and memes defined the things going on in the world.

Yet that is the trend currently withContinue reading “Amusing News Headlines”
2022 The Year of Discontent

Here we are halfway through the first month of the new year and around the world leaders are doubling down on their respective populations with mandates and restrictions that despite being about pandemicContinue reading “2022 The Year of Discontent”
Remember when smoking was good for you?
It’s always nice to stroll down memory lane. Smoking was good for you, asbestos was a wonder material, big block V8’s were desirable, playing cricket on the street and cars slowed down while you got out of the way. For all the crappy stuff it was a good time to be alive. One of theContinue reading “Remember when smoking was good for you?”
Fake News Alert
Okay I should have titled this “Shameless Self Promotion” as I am going to promote a little project I started a few weeks back. Lots of people have experienced strange feelings of rage, anxiety, or depression at times when watching, reading, or listening to news over the past few years. I know I have andContinue reading “Fake News Alert”
