If you’re only running angry, old, white men…
Next they may want to hang pictures of Rommel, Manstein, Kettle or Guderian, who - just like Lee - were defeated enemy generals.
Australia recognizing Palestine and having beef with Netanyahu while protecting their own jewish community from iranian organized attacks seems based.
Not just reclaiming, also simply claiming. Poldering is no joke!
It’s exactly the opposite in Germany.
Wasps are generaly all-purpose assholes who go out of their way to bother you, while I’ve had a hornets nest on my balcony and had one crawl over my fingers without issue.

I have never had more and safer passwords without any hassle, than since using Vaultwarden as a passwordsafe (there are many instances offerd without cost) in combination with Bitwarden extension in my browsers and the app on my phone.
It’s so incredibly easy to use.
Nooooo! Not like this :´(
To quote Tim Minchin:
Isn’t this enough?
Just this world?
Just this
Beautiful, complex, wonderfully unfathomable, natural world?
How does it so fail to hold our attention that we have to diminish it with the invention of
Cheap, man-made myths and monsters?
If you’re so into your Shakespeare
Lend me your ear
“To gild refined gold
To paint the lily
To throw perfume on the violet
Is just fucking silly”
Or something like that
Or what about Satchmo?!
“I see trees of Green
Red roses too”
And fine, if you wish to glorify Krishna and Vishnu in a post-colonial, condescending bottled-up and labeled kind of way then whatever, that’s ok
But here’s what gives me a hard-on
I am a tiny
Insignificant, ignorant bit of carbon
I have one life
And it is short and unimportant
But thanks to recent scientific advances
I get to live twice as long as my great great great great uncleses and auntses
Twice as long
To live this life of mine
Twice as long to love this wife of mine
Twice as many years of friends and wine
Of sharing curries and getting shitty at good-looking hippies with fairies on their spines and butterflies on their titties
I know it’s about superstition, new-age nonsense and “spirituality”, not other planets. But it’s just so on point to me for everything where we fail to appreciate this wonderful world around us.
Wtf? They couldn’t survive? The fukken Nanuqsaurus was a tyrannosaurid living in boreal Alaska. Dinosaurs lived in extremely cold climates and thrived there.
I mean… aren’t all tetrapods just fish with time added?
After bankrupting his own casinos he’s expanding his reach.
The rest of the human too btw. and an egg cell.
That’s honestly not stunning, not stunning at all, more like… expected, yes, that kind of talk is exactly what I expected of a Fox News host.
This is Tiffany, walking back home. Start with the boots. They are big and heavy boots, much repaired by her father and they’d belonged to various sisters before her; she wore several pairs of socks to keep them on. They are big. Tiffany sometimes feels she is nothing more than a way of moving boots around.
Then there is the dress. it has been owned by many sisters before her and has been taken up, taken out, taken down and taken in by her mother so many times that it really ought to have been taken away.

She ran out of her hiding place with the frying pan swinging like a bat. The screaming monster, leaping out of the water, met the frying pan coming the other way with a clang.
It was a good clang, with the oiyoiyoiyoioioioioinnnnnnggggg that is the mark of a clang well done.

And Corporal Nobbs… well, anyone like Nobby had unlimited reasons for not wishing to be seen by other people. You didn’t have to think hard about that. The only reason you couldn’t say that Nobby was close to the animal kingdom was that the animal kingdom would get up and walk away.
It is said that the gods play games with the lives of men. But what games, and why, and the identities of the actual pawns, and what the game is, and what the rules are — who knows?
Best not to speculate.
Thunder rolled…
It rolled a six.

I think Douglas Adams might fit even better though.
The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

Honestly that was my read too.
We know AI won’t replace us and if it does we’ll come back for more money than before.

I love you and your comic, but there are some good points here.
Charlie Kirk wears a lot of the blame for the existence of guys like the jubilee fascists, he was a perpetrator of stochastic terrorism and increasing right-wing extremism.
I’m not saying he deserved to be shot, but he did not want and doesn’t get any empathy from me.
