Here is my live show, Art-Pocalypse, to view in full. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as my talented friends and I enjoyed making it.

If you post something about the importance & beauty of nature, lamenting the loss of our traditions, explaining the importance of working with our hands, or warning about our dependence on tech, and you use AI to illustrate your point, don't expect anyone to take you seriously.

@dufitalexis1 @itsjillgardner Faster, cheaper food, less patience, disconnect from nature, more tech means no hedgerows. So rather than commission a human artist to paint something with their hands to make this point, you asked a computer to shit something out quickly. What a massive self-contradiction.

Britain has lost around half its hedgerows since the Second World War. The wildlife that depended on them has followed a similar trajectory. 🌿 The old field boundary — a strip of blackthorn, hawthorn, dog rose, and elder two to five metres wide between cultivated ground — was not wasted agricultural space. It was a functioning ecological system that maintained pollinators, pest predators, and farmland birds across centuries of working land. Each hedgerow is a nesting corridor for grey partridge and skylark, a foraging habitat for brown hares and hedgehogs, a site for solitary bee colonies, and a windbreak for the crops alongside it. The field cultivated to its very edge gives the maximum return this season. It removes the populations of beneficial insects, farmland birds, and small mammals on which stable long-term production depended. The field with a hedgerow yields a few percent less per cultivated hectare — but remains productive across decades without compensatory chemical inputs. The documented declines in grey partridge, lapwing, and skylark across the British agricultural landscape since the 1970s are directly linked to field consolidation and hedgerow removal. Practical equivalents for the garden or smallholding: - A strip of wildflower meadow at least one metre wide at the plot boundary - A clump of nettles in a shaded corner as a habitat base for red admiral, small tortoiseshell, and peacock butterflies - A native mixed hedge of blackthorn and hawthorn in place of post-and-wire fencing - A section of uncut grass between rows of fruit trees #HedgerowHabitat #FarmlandWildlife #NativeHedge #GardenWildlife

I can imagine how that might all make sense if I had cocaine for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.

So we're supposed to conclude that voting is great - keep doing it, the leaders who were the best vaccine salesmen are all heroes who love their people, & immigrants pose a greater threat to our way of life than the politicians who closed the schools, pubs, beaches and churches.

@DarrenPlymouth @WinterOakPress Wow. Masterful. If it didn't have their names written in the speech bubbles coming out of their mouths, I would never have known who said those things. Also, how clever to show digital ID as a physical card, exactly what it won't be. AI is so smart.

Freedom is so last century. Digital ID, the line that must not be crossed.

@DrClownPhD Why do her boots disappear after she's knocked out? AI is so unblelievably crap.

Rocky IV, but instead of Sylvester Stallone, it’s Elliot Page.

@RachelSJohnson Yeah. The state should make everyone watch it. Perhaps herd them all into cattle trucks and then take them to specially built camps where it can be screened. Then give them little badges to wear, to prove they've seen it. #neveragain

Everyone should be made to watch it

Yes. So many journalists have been in a world of legal pain for telling the world that mRNA injections were safe, effective and necessary, even though they knew from the beginning that the complete opposite was true, and that their lies would cause millions of deaths.

A couple of years ago, anyone who didn't want to be poisoned by the state was labelled a terrorist and the police were beating them up for opposing democide. But sure, let's all insist the police be given guns so they can shoot 'terrorists' in the head. Seems sensible to me.

If this was your only encounter with Ed, Mark, that was a shame as it's a fairly atypical example of how he conducted himself on here. God knows, we've all sometimes posted aggressively after a few beers. But yes, I suppose it's perfectly reasonable for you to ask who the man was, given that your knowledge of him was limited to this coarse exchange. So without any ill will to anyone in this thread, and not wishing to get involved in any pre-existing disagreements, I will just say this and no more: There are a lot of people I've been introduced to via this website who I've admired greatly, and to whom I owe a large debt of gratitude for the support they have given me. Of those, only a tiny, tiny number have shared my take on absolutely everything that's happened over the last six years. This, I think, is unsurprising and somewhat inevitable. I imagine it's true for most of us. I can still respect someone for believing a story that I think is bullshit. What I have a problem with is people taking up morally disgusting positions as a result of believing a story, whether I think that story is real or fake. That's also what makes me suspicious of a person's true identity and agenda. Once or twice over the years, I felt that Ed and I saw the story slightly differently. However, I never once felt that we did not share the same core values. I never once saw him contradict any of his moral principles. That's a depressingly rare quality nowadays, and in my opinion, it's the most important quality needed for humanity to find its way back to a decent path. Ed had it and Ed's gone. That makes me terribly sad but it also makes me feel that it's important for him to be remembered.

Hey Sarah, I wasn’t going to chime in but I have to I’m afraid. In 2020 and onwards, there were loads of people searching for likeminded people on Twitter as a place of solace (couldn't really do it the same on Facebook!) and as you can imagine used to engage in banter about what was going on and make bonds, follow each other and follow back. I’m not sure what the clique are trying to imply about poor Ed’s death but it’s quite frankly a bit sick and at best is poor taste. Ed was popular on here due to his relentless and brilliant meme making, he created a weekly space for everyone to join and have a laugh when we needed it most, he even did a few podcasts and co-hosted a show. It’s as simple as that, sadly. If anyone finds this bizarre then get in touch with the likes of @bobscartoons and probably even @SoniaPoulton who can back me up on this. This needs to stop. RIP Ed 💔

Who's Ed the Techie? The only time I ever heard of him was when he was calling those discerning enough 2 question the Lucy Connolly bullshit "maggots" & "fucking cunts". Why the unprecedented gushing? "One of our original Twitter crew"...What?!! Perfectly legitimate questions...

RT @edthetechie: Very sadly, Ed's family announce: Ed the Techie passed away peacefully at 05.37 on Monday 27/04, with his mother at his be…

I am very sad to tell you all that Ed The Techie has passed away. Many of my followers will be familiar with Ed. He was one of the funniest, kindest, and most consistently right among our ragtag band of online troublemakers. Ed and I had something of a creative friendship on this platform, whereby Ed would often use elements of my cartoons in the images he created, or he would 'vlandalise' my work by inserting one of his Zelensky vlandles wherever any kind of shaft was featured. It reached a point where I would often draw something specifically so that Ed could vlandalise it. Normally I hate it when people muck about with my pictures, but Ed did it with such respect and good humour that I actually felt a bit disappointed when he left them alone. Ed was one of those rare diamonds who managed to come through the last six years without abandoning any values or principles - always understanding what was good and right - and, just as importantly, never losing his sense of fun. He brought a lot of laughter and comfort to many of us through his irreverent, incongruous, playful creations. So, as a tribute to him, as a thank you, and as a final farewell, I've painted this. Because I think he would find it bloody hilarious. God bless you, Ed. You're flying with celestial seagulls now, my friend.

Nice to know that JHB started her day with a quick Google to confirm that Jews don't venerate saints.

@JMCDelingpole @clim8resistance Ben is right about there being a nostalgia psyop at the moment, though. Some anonymous account on here seems to discover a never-before-seen clip from British Pathé every day at the moment, for the 'Look what they took from us bring back the death penalty vote Restore' crowd.

We know how many people died in the 1920s, and exactly what killed them, because infallible doctors wrote it down on bits of paper and then super trust-worthy statisticians turned it all into graphs. In the same way, Ben's great grandchildren will know exactly what was killing people in 2020 by looking at official data and news articles from the time.

More nostalgia. Life expectancy increased by 72 days per year every year since this golden era ended. Yet this misty eyed BS gets RTs and likes because people do not remember the prevelance of disease and mortality in the 20s and 30s.

@JeffreyPeel @Francis_Hoar @MorganC000 @MarioNawfal I don't imagine he likes me any more either, Jeff. Absolutely devastating.

@Francis_Hoar @MorganC000 @MarioNawfal Just an fyi for @bobscartoons

🇱🇧🇮🇷 Hezbollah didn’t become the world's most heavily armed non-state actor by accident It was built that way over decades, and understanding how explains everything happening in Lebanon right now It started in 1982, born out of Lebanon's civil war and Israel's invasion, backed from day one by Iran's IRGC who saw in southern Lebanon the perfect forward base against Israel and the West. A year later, a Hezbollah truck bomb killed 241 American service members in Beirut in a single morning, the deadliest single day for the U.S. Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima The U.S. withdrew from Lebanon months later Iran and Hezbollah had their proof of concept: a single spectacular attack could break American resolve What made Hezbollah different from every other militia was what came next When Lebanon's civil war ended in 1989, all armed groups were required to disarm But Hezbollah was specifically exempted because Israel still occupied southern Lebanon, giving it a legal status no other militia had achieved It used that status to build something unique: a state within a state, with schools, hospitals, social services, and seats in parliament Oh, and an arsenal surpassing the military capabilities of many midsize countries Iran has spent 40 years and billions of dollars building this Israel has spent the last 6 weeks trying to dismantle it

.@JMCDelingpole Oh look, here's one of those classic spycraft replies you were discussing with Alex Thomson. I get them all the time too.

I now realise this was a painting of a doctor standing in the ruins of Gaza. Apologies for any confusion caused.

Obviously, I think both individuals mentioned here are godless Babylonian gigolos. I'm merely trying to point out the ongoing normalisation of double-think.

The people who've been telling you for years that any criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu is definitely an attack on all Jews, are now telling you that any criticism of the Pope is not an attack on all Catholics, and you're an idiot for suggesting it.
