enrico mazzanti and charles folkard's pinocchio illustrations

Cartoons / illustrations used to be so different many years ago. Check out this Pinocchio (written by Carlo Collodi) one from 1911 by Charles Folkard.

And here's the first illustration from 1883, by Enrico Mazzanti. Certainly not the sort of images you'd find today.

music magazines - l think l've got a problem

Of course l have many problems, and collecting stuff is just one of the many. Here's a reminder of when l bought a bulk load of music magazines. You'd think by now l have enough, but more are expected this week (Rolling Stone issues from 1969-70). I really need to get a life, but on the other hand....Can't wait!!

Well this made me laugh, despite the fact as a (very sad) collector of Spider-man comic books, l failed the test.

the nike scouse advert

Although l am gutted to see Liverpool win the league, this advert by Nike is superb, and whoever thought of it deserves a pay rise. Captures the Scouse mentality spot on.

reform uk try to become richer

In news that will not surprise anyone that take the slightest interest in the shenanigans of the Reform Party. Twats - Don't fall for their lies. They're getting money off the wealthy because the wealthy will benefit if Reform gain power.

From The Financial Times.

Virginia Giuffre (Prince Andrew's accuser) dies by suicide

Another victim dies, the years roll on by, and the rich abusers are still walking free without being charged. I know Prince Andrew paid an out of court settlement to try and make it go away (with the Queens money), but even so...

Prince 'I don't sweat and l was out having a pizza' Andrew and the photograph with Virginia he had 'no recollection of' (at Epstein's place).

trump shits his pants as he and zelenskyy talk at the pope's funeral (while milei is escorted out)

"Any more attacks on my dress sense or lack of respect and l'll bite your fucking nose off".

"I'm sorry, it wasn't me it was JD - honest! Please don't hit me" (Proceeds to Shit pants).

And meanwhile. My pissed up uncle gets escorted out. "Come on Sir - don't cause a scene. You've had one too many vinos and l must ask you to leave the premises or l'll call for backup"

reform uk - a reminder that they are twats

Another reminder these rich piss taking populist fuckers certainly do not have the UK's best interests in their plans. They'll feather their own pockets, help their rich friends and donors, and shaft the poor deluded voters who thought they had their best interests at heart. But hey - control and retribution against immigrants, boat crossings and foreign grooming gangs are what a lot of their support will be voting for, even if they eventually personally suffer and pay for it. Just a nastier version of The Tories really.

Will you be my boyfreind forever? Abbey Sings for David | Love on the Spectrum: Season 3 | Netflix

Christ on a bike l must be getting oversentimental in my old age, as despite my hard drinking wisecracking scouser reputation l was crying watching this. Mind you, l'm always a sucker for proper emotion in a song, and despite the theatrical tone of it, this certainly has emotion by the bucketload.

lenient sentencing as headteacher attacks his deputy

I'm sorry, but if you attack someone with a wrench (which are very heavy) from behind like this, you should be getting charged with attempted murder, and l'm talking as a person who (as an adult) once went after someone else to cause them physical harm with a hockey stick (long story). Just because the victim survived does not make it less of an offence, the same as kicking or stamping on someone's head when they are on the ground or unconscious. Judges generally do not give long sentences for violent offences because they live in a world which very rarely encounters violence, unlike the poor. He'd have probably got a longer sentence if he he stolen statues from a country estate.

Story is from here.

america - now at the arresting judges stage

This has since been taken down, but it didn't take long for Donald Trump and his corrupt cronies to start arresting Judges. A classic dictatorship move, but rather sadly, l think a lot more of this kind of boundary pushing law breaking will be happening in the near future. America, the judges, congress and the Republicans with a backbone need to get their act together to oppose this before it's too late.
