Second Life vetted - Satire and Irony
View allAll Photos Tagged satire
[a satire of actual conversation snippets, said to me by folks being entirely serious.]
Support your government
They’re not to blame
Go about your business
Let the boys have their war game
Put on some lipstick
You’ll feel better
Stop reading the news
Don’t write your silly letters
No one listens to people like you
Go hug a tree
There’s not much else you can do
Don’t talk bad about the president
We don’t know where those W.O.M.D.’s went
[and who cares that he’s raping the environment]
God gave us this land
And He’ll take it back
Why not buy a new dress
It’ll help make up for what you lack
Think for yourself, don’t be a hippy
You walk around thinking everything’s trippy
Who cares about the homeless and the poor
You don’t live in the streets
What are you worried for?
If we let gays get married, what’s next,
A farmer can marry his horse?
Man shall not lie down with man
It’s in the bible, of course!
Get on with your life
You got so much to give
Besides we’re over there
To show them how to live
Republican Democrat,
It’s all the same.
If you haven't figured that out yet
You only have yourself to blame.

Shot with the Olympus E-M1. They keep spreading the Big Lie to undermine democracy.
This photo has been in Explore on June 6, 2022. Highest position = #60. This is my 179th photo in Explore.
Trump lost the 2020 election. He knows it. He's a loser. 60, count them, 60 courts throughout the United States ruled against all the frivolous lawsuits he and his cronies filed to overturn the results of a democratically held election - to overturn the will of the people. His own Justice Department and Attorney General concurred. Even his Supreme Court (he appointed three of the justices) voted twice against his lawsuits. Yet he, and his feckless sycophants in the Republican Party persist in spreading the BIG LIE that he won. No proof whatsoever, Not a shred of evidence said the all the courts.
HBM – Happy Bench Monday
Just a little political satire …

than to speak out and remove all doubt.”

THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN' – BOB DYLAN
Boris and Liz
sitting on a bench
one dressed as a pirate
the other in their underpants
handing over power
is never an easy thing
but tomorrow in the Highlands
they'll stand before the Queen
wonder how that journey goes
wondering what they'll say
Boris with his hair askew
Liz with Cheshire grin, and they
hesitate to talk about
the elephant in the room
the crisis of the cost of living
they'll need a hefty broom
to sweep the heap beneath the carpet
with all their might they'll try
but Liz apparently up her sleeve
has a 'bold plan' by and by
the energy crisis is paramount
on her, as yet, unknown agenda
what will Boris do now, I think
host a party; go on a bender
I'll sit back and watch the antics
of this latest political circus
perhaps dear Liz's bag of tricks
will materialise and surprise us
Heaven knows come Winter
how will we keep warmer
I'm banking on a general election
long live Sir Keir Starmer.

For I, Boris Johnson, will deliver. And I will take care of all who felt left behind. Glad tidings indeed.
Self-portrait (on New Year's Eve) of a Remainer.
Billions want to come to the UK. So, stop the boats! These illegal incomers want to take your job, your second home and one of your cars (at least) and, God forbid, take your daughters from you. They will invade our NHS and their foreign offspring will fill our schools too. Do not listen to Labour, the reds, the trade unions and the churches. Don't read the papers of the liberals and the left - these are loony humanitarian idealists. Beware! Stop the boats, get things done, and off to Rwanda with them!
Established in 1964 and running a regular programme of satire since 1976, this city-centre theatre stages late-night cabaret performances in the classic mould.
... when dealing with dodgy donors, giving lucrative business contracts to friends, attending parties he should not and, importantly, when making promises on camera or even mentioning the word 'truth'.
And why not? Protecting in the public space his soft beauty (owned by his wife) from the inquisitive and predatory stare of lusty women. Keeping his wife's honour intact by interacting with society only in the format of cellular withdrawal. Otherwise staying at home. It's a woman's world. Gosh, I almost like it!

This Magpie treated us to some lovely singing and was not at all worried that we hung around taking photos of it. It is not yet Magpie swooping season where they become very protective and agressive. Though being in the Treasury Gardens, perhaps they are used to all the tooing and froing of people.
The decision by the Premier Dan Andrews to cancel the 2026 Commonwealth Games has really set the media going with huge amount of commentary and satire!

Edited book cover, Whale by Cheon Myeong-Kwan.
It follows the lives of three mythical characters: an extremely ambitious woman who has been chasing an indescribable thrill ever since she first saw a whale crest in the ocean; her mute daughter, who communicates with elephants; and a one-eyed woman who controls honeybees with a whistle.

The one who is gone now. Rejoice! The one who brought division and chaos. The one who soiled everything he touched. The one who lied from the first to the last day. The one who left behind a mess. Time to clean up.

"L'extraordinaire aventure de Zarafa, la girafe de Charles X"
Exposition au Domaine de Sceaux (2019)
En 1827, le Pacha d'Egypte offre au nouveau roi de France, Charles X, un cadeau insolite et spectaculaire : une girafe, animal exotique, inconnu en Europe, sinon de rares scientifiques ayant voyagé en Afrique. Le parcours "à pattes" de Zarafa , de Marseille à Paris, puis son installation à la Ménagerie du Jardin du Roi (futur Jardin des Plantes) vont déclencher une incroyable "Girafomania"dans le pays. Caricaturistes et pamphlétaires ne manquent pas de tirer partie du phénomène.

The House combines features of a museum and an art gallery. The city of Gabrovo is also known as an international capital of humour and satire.
Near the House are placed some sculptures. Among them are: the greatest comedian Charlie Chaplin and the inseparable couple of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.

People will promise anything to get your vote it seems. Latest is they will build a moon wall to separate light and dark sides of the moon. Trouble is the dividing line keeps moving through the month and no one up there will cough up the money to pay for it.
Apart from a crop and slight rotation and removing some streaking stars (can't handhold 300 mm at 1/3rd of second) no Photoshop! Cloud and half moon seen in our capital city, Wellington.Apologies if you like the guy.
The commissioner of the Metropolitan police went on the offensive today, defending his officers for an "astonishing" police operation during the G20 that he said had received international praise.
Sir Paul Stephenson said his comments were made in the context of a man having died during the demonstration, and of footage that was deeply concerning. But he went out of his way to praise what he said were an overwhelming majority of officers who carried out a professional job on the day.
Picking out the territorial support group (TSG) – which is at the centre of two IPCC investigations into Ian Tomlinson's death and an assault on a woman protester – Stephenson said it was a specialist unit the Met relied on.
"These and others are our first line response to some of the most difficult and challenging situations," he said.
The commissioner, who has spoken personally to TSG officers in a bid to raise their morale, said all knew they were individually accountable for their actions.
He said officers who were found to have deliberately hidden their numbers would be severely disciplined. "If someone is trying to deliberately avoid being identified and their reason is so they can behave inappropriately, criminally, then of course they could face the sack," Stephenson said.
He planned to tackle the problem of police identification by examining whether every officer should wear name tags.
The commissioner said there were supervision problems with some groups of officers and he wanted this improved. "The overwhelming majority did [wear their numbers]. There is not sufficient concentration on intrusive supervision.
"That is what I believe in. It is the job of supervisors to go and find out how good your people are so that you can say well done and sometimes to find out where they are going wrong."
The commissioner spoke as a pathologist was carrying out the third postmortem on Ian Tomlinson's body. It was done at the request of lawyers for the TSG officer seen in footage obtained by the Guardian apparently attacking Tomlinson. The Met will be present at the postmortem after receiving advice from its lawyers.
The IPCC is investigating the circumstances of Tomlinson's death; a second incident in which a TSG sergeant is seen hitting a woman protester; and a third case that resulted from another complaint from a protester about police violence.
Stephenson has asked for a review of all footage in the Met's possession. This is being carried out by the Met's department of professional standards. Denis O'Connor, Her Majesty's inspector of constabulary, has been asked to examine the tactics used by the Met for public order events, specifically the issue of containing demonstrators for several hours.
Stephenson said the use of containment had begun after a demonstration in June 1999 when protesters caused £13m worth of damage. "The policy of containment has come from our history. As a consequence of this we … developed a policy of graduated control which at some point may involve containment. If there is a better way to do it we are up for learning it, but we don't know of a way."
Stephenson said he had received acknowledgment from police forces internationally for what the Met achieved during the G20.
"Part of the headlines should be … astonishing operation pulled off by the Met who did a first-class job," he said.
"The overwhelming majority of officers, whatever the stress or provocation, carried out their duties in a professional manner and I want to give them credit for what they achieved." He said his comments were in the context that some of the footage he had seen caused him deep concern, and the Met was cooperating with the IPCC to help provide the answers that Tomlinson's family wanted.
Stephenson said the Met had never misled anyone in the aftermath of Tomlinson's death. He said the scene where he collapsed was secured, sealed off and treated as a crime scene and the press statement the Met released in the aftermath of the death was approved by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
