This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.

Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

To paraphrase Aneurin Bevan, it takes a financial genius to go broke selling beer to British people.

I think today has proved that Bluesky has the juice. Dumb seppo cunts all over the joint and Aussies jumping in to tell them to pull their fucken heads in and wake up and realise that it’s not all about them. Oh, and that calling them seppos is ok and more than acceptable. Job well done Aussies!

Hind Rajab was afraid of the dark. After killing her family & wounding her, Israel prevented her rescue & left her to die alone in the dark.

"Once NSW police had kettled in the crowd of tens of thousands so it could not disperse, it then charged with brute force, fists & horses, and this unbridled violence amounted to police officers acting with impunity because they’d been guaranteed it"

The Expediting Authoritarianism of Trump’s USA Has Taken Root in Australia
The onslaught of sanctioned police violence seen on NSW streets during the Herzog protest revealed that Trump-style authoritarianism has taken root in Australia.

Vale Jon Kudelka @kudelka.bsky.social and deepest condolences to family and friends

We were honoured to have Jon draw 3 cartoons for a series of articles we published on political donations reform in Tasmania #auspol #politas

Thank you Jon
Jon Kudelka cartoon for Tasmanian Inquirer to accompany an article on political donations reform for local government. The cartoon shows a rubbish truck labelled 'donations' emptying a sidewalk bin with a bystander saying "Sure, it's a bit of a loophole, but it does make bin night a bit more of an event ..." Jon Kudelka cartoon for Tasmanian Inquirer to accompany an article on political donations reform in Tasmania. The Integrity Commission and many civil society groups wanted all donations over $1000 disclosed. The Liberal government wanted the threshold set at $5000. The cartoon shows two men in suits & dark sunglasses and each is pushing an empty shopping trolley in a store. Behind them is a box labelled "Lettuce's $999.95 each". One of the men asked the other "How much political influence could you possible buy for a thousand bucks these days?" To which the other responds, "I expect that's the point" Jon Kudelka cartoon for Tasmanian Inquirer to accompany an article on political donations reform. Two people are sitting in an underground vault with a big bag of money falling from a chute in the ceiling. The bag is about to land in a wheelbarrow already heavily loaded with bags of money. The man said to the woman sitting next to him, "Of course, the tricky bit with donation reform is, and I'm aware we can't say this part out loud, not upsetting the donors".

Crikey was on the ground at the Sydney protest against Israeli President Isaac Herzog. We captured the confusion about how and where protesters should leave the rally, beginning with a heated discussion between NSW Police and NSW Greens MPs.

Wednesday's cartoon in The Mercury Newspaper: Jon Kudelka helped me get my first cartooning job at The Mercury. He also showed me how to be quick-witted and fearless. I was in a constant state of joke-envy over his cartoons. I'm gonna miss that feeling, but more than that, I'm gonna miss my friend.
