Israel could kill Bambi on live TV and some of you fuckers would still be cheering from the sidelines. No, actually, scratch that, what am I thinking? Some of you racist pieces of shit would probably feel worse for a cartoon deer than a real-life Brown person.

Bambi murdered her mother with a shotgun.
The little shit was armed with Iran supplied weapons.
Look, here is a box of 18 shells and two spent cartridges.
You city anti-wildlife naive murderer symphatisers do not understand what it is to live in the forest.

Bambi, and two hectares of old forest had to be bombed.
Never Again!
Vote Nethanyaho for forest warden!
Only he can keep all the animals safe!
Would you like a fresh venison stake?

#palestine #genocide #satire is dead like Bambi

I'd forgotten how good the Issues comedy shows were. Watching them now reminds me of the topical issues and the politicians and media figures who talked about them;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6Vu70oDLlA

There were numerous variants, beginning with 1990 The Issues, with an ensemble cast of up and coming comics, led by veterans David Mcphail and Jon Gadsby. 1990 was followed by Bumper Issues, More Issues, and so on.

#DystopianTimes - The collective West decided to #censor the entire internet instead of not doing #genocide

Ricky Hale and @cemedia
Jul 30, 2025

Excerpt: "Since the #OnlineSafetyAct came into effect, we've seen an awful lot of political censorship and nothing in the way of saving children. Children's lives have not been improved by this bill, but all of us have seen loss of privacy and loss of information we should be allowed to access in a #FreeSociety.

"There is a petition on the Parliament UK website to repeal the Online Safety Act that I have attempted to sign three times. I still have not received the verification email, meaning my signature has not been counted. I suspect this is deliberate and that many more than the official 427,000 people have attempted to sign.

"The government has already responded to the petition by dismissing everyone's concerns and refusing to debate this in parliament. The whole point of parliamentary petitions is to trigger parliamentary debates, but the government is no longer pretending to listen to what we want.

"The level of #overreach in the Online Safety Act is off the chart. Section 179 bans people from saying something false that could cause 'non-trivial psychological harm', potentially banning #humour and #satire. It could also ban any speech that counters a government narrative and is therefore deemed false.

"If your government decides there is no genocide and you say there is, there is nothing stopping them deeming this misinformation and banning you.

[...]

"The #MinistryOfTruth now gets to decide which online content is factual or harmful and that will always be a political decision. There is no impartial way of doing this, and aside from anything else, people in a free society are allowed to say what they want. No one needs to be protected from speech."

Australian government: We want to ban anyone under the age of 16 accessing social media.

Google, Meta, etc: You can't do this to us... Errr... Our customers! This is big government interfering in the free market! We believe in freedom! Government does best when it does least!

Australian government: Unfortunately, it seems there's no other way around this, except to require /every/ Australian to provide ID to prove their identity before using social media services.

Google, Meta, etc: No way! There's no chance in... Hang on a sec, you're making people provide us with what?

Australian government: Unfortunately, yes. Every single Australian will basically have to provide uploads of their identity documents to Google, Meta, and the other Silicon Valley surveillance mongers.

How else will they prove they're over 16?

Google, Meta, etc: What sorts of documents?

Australian government: Oh, passports, drivers licences, identity cards...

Google, Meta, etc: Well, we will still blatantly disregard and circumvent your no social media for 16-year-olds policy.

But we do like the idea of everyone giving us even more information about themselves. The law's the law, right?

Australian government: I mean, it will be done through neutral 3rd parties...

Google, Meta, etc: Oh we totally understand. Google Play Secure Identity Verification and Meta for Business Age Verification will totally be organised into separate holding companies.

We uphold the law in every jurisdiction we work in after all...

I am a little sad that there is not a CBC headline/alert for #TomLehrer passing away.

Tom Lehrer was kind of the proto-Stephen Colbert and all the other public performing satirists. Just with a piano, instead of a full music video.

is his "We will all go together when we go”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frAEmhqdLFs

really that much different from “Billionnaires are actually good”. There’s just a little more glitz in Colbert's version.
