And it was. It wasn’t noticed much when it first came out, but some decades later it blew up when people realised how cool it was.

The one thing that many people get wrong is that they act like RFK jr. is someone who is just ‘wrong’ on a lot of issues, when in reality he knows exactly what he is doing. While he is a genuinely insane and extremely nasty person, his anti-vaccine attitude is fuelled entirely by grift. He doesn’t believe in any of it. He is vaccinated and so are all of his children. His destruction of the medical establishment is getting so fucking bad that even some MAGA assholes, like Scott Adams (the Dilbert artist) are begging him to stop, since he is preventing life saving medication that they need to survive.

Ahh that’s the one. For some reason I thought it was from the 1880s…

Wasn’t there a novel written in the 1880s that did not include the letter E? The most commonly used letter in the English language. The story in the novel was unremarkable save for the fact that… yeah, there are no Es.

Are they going to fight? I bet they know their judo well!

I never read the grapes of wrath, but I should.

This reminds me of when a large whiskey distillery broke in 19th century Ireland and many people died. Not from large quantities of alcohol sweeping people away (something like that happened in London in the early 19th century) but from passerby drinking so much of the stuff they died of alcohol poisoning.

Most Irish way to die ever!

That is true. But we need to manage waste better and have more sustainable farming. I am aware of the volcanic eruption that had far reaching effects on the world. But I thought it happened later in that century (I think the famous painting The Scream had the sky colored that way as a direct reference to the event).

Unless those men are black, Hispanic, or neurodivergent.

Autistic dogs? You mean they will be more obsessed with catching that squirrel than normal?

Look, the mechanical Turk was a good chess player at least… and his operator had to literally hide beneath the table…

Reminds me of the scene from Robocop 2 when they are introducing new robocop models and one literally rips his helmet off and his skull just screams. As a kid I found it both funny and scary at the same time.

We produce so much food we can feed the entirety of China on just the surplus alone.

In the meantime he pays no bail and is sent to Mar-a-Lago or some ritzy place in New York.

Being a progressive activist is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.

This is the sad truth, even if the democrats and Republicans somehow united and said ‘to hell with this jackass, let’s arrest him and try him properly’ he will probably die before even that trial is complete.

Donald Trump is such a disgusting criminal individual it isn’t funny. Everything he accuses his enemies of he is guilty of himself, including the recent accusations of mortgage fraud.

In his mind rules and laws aren’t for allowing society to function, but as tools to get his enemies in trouble, and at the same none should apply to him.

That, too.

Canadian here. December is still very cold up here.

Islam forbids this kind of profiteering off food and stuff. I am an atheist, but the fact that stuff like this is mentioned in very old religions is telling for how far back this bullshit goes.
