Mostly here to talk about SFF stories and how to bring down capitalism. Sadly doubt they can be combined. Sports talk may also occur.

UT MED ALLA RASISTER! Och nazister! Vi måste kämpa mot all sånt! Alla är ju människor, vi ser bara lite olika ut. All ska bedömas lika. Ingen är mindre värld än någon annan. Tänk vad hemsk det är med rasism och nazism! Bevara Sverige Blandat! En som hatar orättvisor Translation: OUT WITH ALL THE RACISTS! And nazis! We have to fight against everything like that! Everyone are humans after all, we just look a little different. Everyone should be judged equally. Nobody is less worth (mis-spelt "world") than anyone else. Imagine how horrible it is with racism and nazism! Keep Sweden Mixed!* One who hate injustices *During the period this is from, i.e. the late eighties and early nineties, a common racist graffiti tag was "Bevara Sverige Svenskt" - "Keep Sweden Swedish."
Two comic book panel. In the first a soldier is surprised by a hand on his shoulder and someone off-panel saying, "Här -- bakom dej!.." ("Here -- behind you!..") In the second we see the person who was off-panel before. It's the Phantom. And he lays out the soldier with a straight right to the chin that goes "POCK!" (with the "o" replaced by a skull) when it connects.

Opening page from the comic book SF adventure series ACHILLES WIGGEN's episode "Imperiet's Hjärta" ("The Heart of the Empire," or literal: "The Empire's Heart.") It shows the title of the comic, with a round insert of the two main characters - the eponymous Achilles Wiggen, a mid 30s man with greying hair in a 1980s pilot's jump suit with his last name written on it; and JPX - a small, alien that looks a bit like Jiminy Cricket's head on the body of a human toddler floating in the air. The picture shows a space ship heading towards a green explosion in the blackness of space along with three text boxes that gives us the title of the episode, and informs us that the heroes are desperately trying to save their friends, but fails.

A black-and-white opener page from the Swedish version of The Phantom. It has two panels: the first one shows a bat outlined against a full moon over a jungle, the Phantom himself on a rearing white horse, and a bust portrait of his wife, Diana Palmer-Walker, looking up with a not entirely pleased face. An inset tells us that the Script is by Tierres (a.k.a. Claes Reimerthi), and the art is by the Italian team of Romano Felmang, and Ferri. At the bottom of the panel we get the adventure's title - "Dödens Vingar" ("The Wings of Death" in English). The second panel is of five African children playing in a river with a box-text reading "Det råder välstånd i Bengalis jungler... Alla är lyckliha och nöjda... ("Well-being rules in the jungles of Bengali... Everyone is happy and content...")

It breathes millions of tiny spiders at you!
Förra året gjorde Försäkringskassan 9097 anmälningar till Polisen om misstänkt bidragsbrott. Nu kliver en visselblåsare från polisen fram och berättar att de medvetet lägger ned många av anmälningarna. "Det här är oftast inte kriminella, utan sjuka och utbrända som råkat göra fel, sager en av polisens utredare.

Opening image to the The Phantom story "Knarkhajarna" (Literal translation "the drug dealers," but with an implication that they're some way from the bottom of their criminal organisation's pyramid.) The part that matters to the post is the story's big bad, a young blonde woman, sat on a boardwalk in a classic pin-up pose, wearing tight shorts that ends *high* up the thigs and a very tight, sleeveless top.

But seriously, one of Harry Wilson’s best attributes is his ability to just fucking go with it. He just “yes ands” his way through his whole kidnapping. If he were abducted out of the museum by a posse of clowns instead, our boy would be in the circus today. He has no clue what is happening at any point ever, but that’s not stopping him.
Two pictures from a football match between Seattle Sounders and Hammarby IF. It looks very wet in both of them.

“People come in and say, ‘I’d really like to give this cake to my husband, but is there a way to make it more masculine?” said Basegio, the owner of the Fillmore Bakery in San Francisco. “They’ll ask us to take the rose off the top, so it’s just green … We’ve been asked to make it blue, which we don’t do. It’s just cake.” These concerns are “frequent” and they always come from women buying the cake for men, Basegio said, even though, “men, specifically, would be the demographic that love princess cake most”.
