Unflattering portraits of King Charles and Australian billionaire Gina Rinehart were all over the news last week, but these unusual depictions are nothing new. National Geographic analyzes images of Anne of Cleves, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln and more to show how they added to mythologies and even changed the course of history.
I've been thinking about the King Charles portrait for a few days, but I still can't decide whether the painting style reminds me more of old Puffin, Pan Horror, or Mills & Boon cover illustrations. #illustration#art#KingCharles
"Vigo the Carpathian. Born 1505, died 1610. He was poisoned, stabbed, shot, hung, stretched, disembowled, drawn and quartered... Not exactly a man of the people"
King Charles formally comes out as Satan, Lord of Demons
We need to respect his lifestyle choice
The bloke called Charles, who happens to be the British head of state due to some weird fairy story about how he inherited magic blood from his German mother and her Nazi cousin (blood so special it made his brother and uncle paedophiles), has made a dramatic announcement: he is actually Satan.
Reading the social media commentary on King Charles diagnosis makes me thankful that we have a better functioning system in India. Hope britishers can rally and get the NHS fixed.
"While I wish King Charles the very best with his treatment, and all others in this world who are being treated for this disease, please spare a thought for those who were not so fortunate with the speed of the response to their diagnoses. My husband was informed he had a potentially cancerous tumour in July 2023. He received his first chemotherapy session in December 2023 – 142 days after the initial diagnosis. He died in January.

Ok, parts of the #britishpress link the prostate-cancer of Britain's best-dressed-bandit to his younger son. Why? Because both of them have a dingus? And if he had a melanoma? They'd blame Megan for the dark skin! Because they're fuckin racists!
And when will they address her properly?
She's "Megan, duchess of Sussex" or "Megan Windsor" in Bourgeois - did they miss her marriage?
“On the 10pm news we had a royal reporter talking nonsense in front of Buckingham Palace, where the king wasn’t, followed by a health correspondent talking outside a clinic where the king also wasn’t. The BBC could have sent someone to my house as well because the king wasn’t there either.”
