We got both billboards up tonight, in the background of this one you can see the gas flaring of a nearby oil refinery
Night time photo of a billboard that says Welcome to the Niger Delta, one of the most polluted places on earth, brought to you by Hell, with a flaming Shell logo. The text Niger Delta is illustrated inside each letter with the horrors of oil extraction in the region. In the background, behind the billboard itself, a gas flaring oil refinery burns toxic gas into the air.

I'm in the Niger Delta and I have a small crowdfunder which has paid for two anti-shell billboards & hundreds of placards & t-shirts to be printed to be given away.

But the activists have asked for if we can get a bit more to pay the bus fare of farmers who want to come to the march tomorrow...
Large banner on the ground in Nigeria that says Shell Killed the Ogoni Nine, But The Cannot Kill the Idea - Justice For Niger Delta. End Gas Flaring - Shell Must Pay. With watercolour illustrations of Ken Saro-Wiwa and the rest of the Ogoni Nine on a background of the Ogoni flag.

As usual the AI isn't good enough, so your futuristic house servant robot will be remotely piloted by a low-paid worker in the global south.

Got my paper delivery bags back from the printer!

Sending out the pre-orders this week, and I've have a couple dozen extra that can be ordered online here: www.spellingmistakescostlives.com/product-page...
Photo of a fluorescent yellow/green paper delivery bag on a concrete floor. The black and white print on the bag looks like several UK newspaper logos which have been altered to read: "Don't Believe Everything Billionaires Tell You"

And something often forgetten is Tony Blair's role in helping anti-vaxx ideology spread at a critical point in the media frenzy around MMR

From @bengoldacre.bsky.social
www.badscience.net/2008/08/the-...
But the biggest public health disaster of all – which everyone misses – was a sweet little baby called Leo. In December 2001 the Blairs were asked if their infant son had been given the MMR vaccine, and refused to answer, on the grounds that this would invade their child’s right to privacy. This stance was not entirely unreasonable, but its validity was somewhat undermined by Cherie Blair when she chose to reveal Leo’s vaccination history, in the process of promoting her autobiography, and also described the specific act of sexual intercourse which conceived him. And while most other politicians were happy to clarify whether their children had had the vaccine, you could see how people might believe the Blairs were the kind of family not to have their children immunised: essentially, they had surrounded themselves with health cranks. There was Cherie Blair’s closest friend and aide, Carole Caplin, a new age guru and “life coach”. Cherie was reported to visit Carole’s mum, Sylvia Caplin, a spiritual guru who was viciously anti-MMR (“for a tiny child, the MMR is a ridiculous thing to do. It has definitely caused autism,” she told the Mail). They were also prominently associated with a new age healer called Jack Temple, who offered crystal dowsing, homeopathy, neolithic-circle healing in his suburban back garden, and some special breastfeeding technique which he reckoned made vaccines unnecessary.

Digital ID is Starmer's Metaverse, and he's out here desperately pitching his daydreams about how it could one day be useful to a disinterested public because he's already invested too much in it to back out now.
Keir Starmer @Keir Starmer I recently spoke with someone buying a house with her partner. She told me that she had to pay just to verify who she was. With digital ID that could be done in seconds and wipe out the costs. Digital ID will save you time and money.

Another day finding a bad rip-offs of my work online (counterfeit version on the left).

Its hard enough for artists to make a living selling our own work without dickheads like this trying to poach our already small numbers of customers. Rip off a Disney trademark instead ffs

It's been unreal to watch the all-channels media and government pantomime to pretend this wasn't the case. And all in the service of racially demonising British Muslims for the Israeli propaganda effort.

I've printed 2000 bumper stickers to give away at the 30-year anniversary commemoration of the murder of Ken Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni Nine, who were framed and executed by Shell and the Abacha regime in Nigeria in 1995.

I'll be filming the commemoration in Port Harcourt, Niger Delta, next month.
Watercolour illustration of Ken Saro-Wiwa over a stylised Ogoni flag, blue, yellow and green with red stars. text: SHELL KILLED HIM, BUT THEY CANNOT KILL THE IDEA. JUSTICE FOR NIGER DELTA. End Gas Flaring. Shell Must Pay.

An old flatmate was always into conspiracy theories but it really ramped up from 2010 onwards

I just found a photo that he posted in 2013 which he thought showed Stephen Spielberg directing a false flag Boston marathon bombing while also frantically assisting the wounded crisis actors.

Just for no reason thinking of when someone on twitter remembered they were steam friends with Graham Linehan and they checked what he was playing these days and he was really into torturing stickmen to death

Reposting from the other site because this is great news
Twitter screenshot: From @HudaAmmori BREAKING: The government LOST their appeal and failed to stop the legal challenge of the Palestine Action ban. That means the Judicial Review will go ahead on November 25-27th. Not only that, but we won TWO MORE grounds to argue the illegality of the ban. Huge victory.
