today’s #altTxt #yaddayadda on how bad americans are at #labor #rights:

❝ The whole concept of "sick days" is idolatrous capitalism. When we started work in The Netherlands, we asked HR how many sick days we get. After a brief confused look, the reply - all of them. When you are sick, you stay home. When you are well, you work.

Dutch law (translated) reads "If you own a company in the Netherlands and one of your employees becomes ill, you must go on paying them for a maximum of two years." ❞

today’s #AltTxt #yaddayadda has a picture of a soldier resting somewhere where desertification turned dirt to stone.

the photo is from their perspective. you only get to see their legs. that’s how we know they are resting: we see their helmet between their legs and their rifle leaning against one of them. underneath the photo we have a message:

NEVER, EVER FORGET WHO YOU ARE FIGHTING FOR!

right smack in the middle of his helmet we see a photo of #JeffreyEpstein

this is a post about #Iran

this is the kind of meme that pisses me off for it’s lack of one huge piece of evidence: DATE

today's #AltTxt #yaddayadda is about the historic FEBRUARY 12 2026 #GeneralStrike in #India
https://peoplesdispatch.org/2026/02/20/anatomy-of-a-general-strike-how-workers-in-the-indian-state-of-karnataka-shut-down-production/

❝ 300 million workers just shut down India.

The largest strike in human history, and most of the Western media barely whispered it. That silence is complicity in Modi’s war on workers’ rights.

India’s general strike is the future that the billionaires and ruling class fears most ❞ 🧵…

another #AltTxt #yaddayadda thanks to #CBS, the #FCC and the Streisand Effect:

❝ Colbert usually gets around 2 million viewers, but because Trump's FCC banned Talarico's interview the segment has been viewed online over 10.5 million times. Nice work, geniuses. ❞

since Vee is now teasing me with Billy Joe Armstrong, the best #bisexual #antifa #feminist #neopunk #GenXer, here’s today’s #AltTxt #yaddayadda in anticipation of #BadBunny’s 🇵🇷 pororrican invasion of the #SuperBowl :

❝ For years, Green Day has been singing "I'm not part of the MAGA agenda” instead of "redneck agenda” during "American ldiot" at huge events. They've done it at Coachella, New Year's Eve, everywhere. Now they're set to perform at the Super Bowl.

#MAGA is about to lose it. ❞

above him is an image headline that reads: “Me justifying why I installed 47 Gnome extensions on my Linux desktop”

so without further ado, a comment from Xitter by Chad Scott about #Putin in the #EpsteinFiles

❝ The fact that Vladimir Putin appears in the Epstein files roughly 1,000 times, without being accused as a predator himself, strongly suggests intelligence collection for blackmail purposes. If that is the case, then the Epstein matter is not just a criminal scandal but an immediate and emerging national security crisis.

mi primer #AltTxt #yaddayadda en español, porque el #fediverso parece ser alérgico al texto inclusivo en imágenes ―y por fediverso, me refiero tanto a los hispanoparlantes, como a los lusoparlantes.

así, pues, encontramos una foto de un mural donde se ve a Homero Simpson, con brocha en mano, admirando lo que acaba de escribir en el muro:

“Quien es cruel con
los animales, no
puede ser buena
persona.”

today’s #AltTxt #yaddayadda, a comment by one of Canada’s greatest gifts to the world, editorial cartoonist Michael de Adder:

❝ This is why editorial cartooning is harder in 2026: Republicans don’t just: inspire cartoons anymore- they star in them. This picture- who Republicans ran to participate in- with Republicans taking selfies of themselves cutting a cake shaped like Greenland -is the best editorial cartoon of the week. ❞
