The stupidest of timelines.

Also a fine opportunity to explore the True Grit Texture Supply Procreate raster brushes.

I was way ahead of her and portrayed EU commision president Ursula van der Leyen saying "What a year, huh?", with Stubb replying "Ursula, it's February"
It's a play on an old internet meme featuring Tintin and Captain Haddock.

My cartoon for the current issue of Voima magazine.

Estonian minister and EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas quipped privately while she is not much of a drinker now may be the "time to start" given events around the globe.

This new infofarming AI meme is the worst yet.
Please waste stupid amounts of energy on something more ethical, like crack smoking.

If anyone wants to protest, explain the recent cutbacks in cultural fundings - a minuscule number on the national budget, but an effective and precise hit against dissenters.

That last person is Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni who leads the far-right Brothers of Italy party, with historical, symbolic, and personnel roots in Italy’s post-fascist movement.

That guy in the movie Seven was not entirely in the wrong, his blunder was that he targeted lower class people.

In buddhism there’s a concept of a hungry ghost, characterized by insatiable hunger and thirst due to excessive greed or selfishness in life, often depicted with huge bellies and tiny throats, representing beings trapped in a cycle of craving and suffering.

If I learned anything the last 24 hours, it’s that the super rich might be the most miserable sad fucks in existence.

Can we stop calling them rich and just settle for the insatiably greedy? Nothing will make them satisfied, no matter how many luxuries are thrown their way.

Hear me out , it will have the same ceremonial power, the same curiosity PR effect of a monarch – WITHOUT the possibility of it going outside constitutional bounds or becoming an amoral entity unworthy of any respect, let alone an apanage in the millions.

It would also be less slimy.

In between work shifts, I try not reading Epstein posts.

I’m not successful, but I’m at least convinced that the Norwegian monarchy should end with the current king.

After that it should be replaced by that squid that predicted football cup results.

My personal connection to current apocalypse.

1- Thorbjørn Jagland grew up on Tranby, my childhood home as well.
2- Jagland led Nobel jury. Lobbied hard for Obama.
3 - NYC reality star/property developer triggered.
4 - Collapse of post WWII world order.
It was Tranby all along, people. Sorry.

One of my resolutions for the year was to return to the old internet and see where that takes me.
I decided to resume my old blog:

Considering some Finns conversational prowess at parties, I’m delighted to hear that Finland’s main industry will now be icebreakers.

Det er irriterende at hver gang Rødt er i nærheten av påvirkningskraft, dukker skrotvenstre opp. Det blir verdens verste miks av Stalin, en drita blitzer fra 1989 og Kari Jaquesson.

My illustration for this issue of Ny Tid.

Hvem klarer et helt år uten inntekt? Et helt år uten penger for langtidssyke får ikke flere i jobb.

Stem, folkens. Milliardærene som finansierer høyresiden har hatt knallår. De har råd.
Fantasiene om folk som foretrekker trygd framfor jobb må slutte.
Det er bedre samfunnsøkonomi å hjelpe folk opp og ikke la penga til Sveitsfiffen råtne i et Caymanfond.
