A commentator has voiced frustration that the world keeps ignoring or trying to move past what they describe as obvious, criminally depraved behaviour unfolding daily in politics.

An illustration titled 'The canon' by Albert Robida, created for an edition around 1900 of Honoré de Balzac's 'Les Contes Drolatiques' published in Paris, has been shared with readers of classic book illustration. Robida was a French artist and caricaturist known for his imaginative drawings, and his work on Balzac's bawdy medieval tales remains a celebrated example of turn-of-the-century French book illustration. The image is drawing attention among fans of vintage art and illustrated books.
