What are your favourite sign painting / lettering / calligraphy / typography cartoons? I'm working on a gallery of humourous examples for an online article, and keen to share as many as I can.

Pictured is 'At the Sign Shop' by Hana Sunny Whaler from BLAG 02: https://bl.ag/02.

Boosts appreciated 😃

Cartoon sketch about a sign painter taking an order for an art dealer's sign. The dimensions are given over the phone as 2 x 8 meters.

When it comes to the instal the sign, the visual gag is that the sign was supposed to be 2 x 8 landscape, rather than the 2 x 8 portrait sign that's been painted.

The reason the "hippies" were so derided in the media and wider culture is primarily because they rejected a Capitalist Narrative. Not because they were into free love or dreamy music. Because they rejected and challenged capitalism.

They were right in doing that. We need to re-embrace this idea, and live in rejection of the commercial imperative.

(Edit - dreamy music, not freamy. freamy is not a word. Yet.)

'But if this is the way in which the next five years are going, Keir Starmer's in for a rough ride. He got in on a very shallow base of support, like a big puddle that was only two inches deep. It's going to evaporate very rapidly if this is the sort of thing he's going to do, then he's going to be facing a lot of public opposition, and he'll deserve it. He has to find his moral compass, or he's in trouble.'

The minimal version of Debian Linux 12/11 does not install sudo. When performing a network installation for Debian, the usual approach is to use the minimum version, which only installs the essential packages. Most Linux container images based upon Debian also skip sudo, and if your project needs sudo, then read on how to install and configure sudo and grant access to a user on a Debian Linux version 12/11. https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-install-and-configure-sudo-on-debian-linux/ #linux #sysadmin #debian

I am often slightly perplexed by people who perform a "minimal" installation of anything, and then seem surprised or complain when it doesn't have <some feature>.

Yes, I wanted the install to be as small as possible, but as small as possible while including the features *I* need/am used to.

Just the idea/suggestion. What if birds aren't singing, they're screaming? Totally fascinates and freaks me out.

There's more than a grain of truth in it. We communicate different things through speech, birds are no different. Birds songs are warnings, check ins, territorial announcements, sexual intentions etc. but the term screaming suggests an angst, a trauma, so removed from the pretty song of a Blackbird for instance, that when viewed like that, take on a horrific alternative narrative.

It's just words and concepts, but it tickles my brain, accompanied by a lullaby soundtrack.

This was my Ted talk, goodnight and don't have nightmares.

30p Leenoch has joined his deputy leader Richard Tice in praising a police officer both kicking and stamping on someone's head, as well hitting another person in the back of the head while holding a taser, and pepper spraying someone for filming what happened.
He also went further, and said that the police should receive a medal.

@Thebratdragon They unfortunately didn't come off that badly.

If this had been someone in the media openly defending Jimmy Savile, or Rolf Harris, then the odds are their careers would have been finished.

Both Vine and Johnson still work at the Daily Mail and LBC respectively.
helps that both are tories.

Remember the biggest protector of Saville (and Leon Britten) was Margaret Thatcher....

You get one wool heart each.

I have three options in front of me and in need to make a pretty huge choice next week. I'm not currently at liberty to discuss the details and I don't know which one I'll pick. Let's see what you all reckon!

This isn't binding of course. I'm not having you lot tell me what to do.

I'll tell you if you were right someday though.

  • Option A (15%, 6 votes)
  • Option B (41%, 16 votes)
  • Option C (43%, 17 votes)

What causes, triggers, people who are oppressed, put upon, harassed, to rise up against those in power oppressing them?

I imagine that the first criterion is the recognition of oppression.

As long as people accept their treatment by their government, then obviously they see no need to even consider fighting back.

As long as people have the opportunity to vote in a supposedly democratic process, they assume that they have democracy & whatever they think that means.

The fact that whichever "side" they elect is in no significant way different to the other "side" is blurred over by the propaganda mass media conducting a charade of opposition between the two "sides". That they are both owned by the same people who would conduct them as puppets for their fascist, neofeudal purposes, serfdom, slavery in whatever form it would take in this age of the oligarchs.

Not Fascist as in Italy or Germany, not Feudal as in the Middle Ages, but whatever allows the modern oligarch autocrats to rule their fiefdom, obtained by their willing purchase of the corrupt politicians & their parties who have access as elected governments to an unconstrained flow of national currency & all the brute physical power of State.

I prefer indexes and do not invest in individual stocks.

But what I know is that, for a mature company, a P/E ratio between 5-20 is generally a fair valuation.

For a “growth” company, you can afford a higher P/E but only if the revenue growth potential is realistic—otherwise we enter into euphoria and the multiple represents risk.

If we are to believe the P/E ratio, Tesla has greater potential for growth than Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon.

And I have to ask, based on what?

Personally, I don’t believe Tesla is a technology company in the same vein as the other companies I mentioned. All those tech companies have monopoly power in their respective industries, and have used their monopoly power to leverage growth in new industries.

Tesla has no monopoly power and yet it has a higher P/E ratio.

And because it’s a megacap, it puts the greater market at risk when—not if—its share price plummets to a saner valuation.

You may say the market is always forward looking, and this is true. But “forward looking” is often just a fancy way of saying “wishful thinking”.
"#Tesla...puts the greater market at risk when—not if—its share price plummets to a saner valuation."

Exactly.
My question is: can this insane valuation be traced back to some "leader of the pack," trendsetting investors?
