Monkey Fracas posted:I know it's cliché at this point to make fun of the whole "if global warming, why cold?" thing but "if global warming, why Antarctic exist?" is a whooollle new level of dumb. A hundred or so years from now when the last of the sea ice has melted and all coastal cities are flooded someone will say "Well then why can't I swim in the arctic ocean without freezing to death?

tifosibella posted:Bad news, there's at least two, and I'm pretty sure there's more than that. The one that I'm most familiar with is near Dinosaur Valley State Park in Texas where they get a kick out of forging human footprints and trying to pass them off as having been made at the same time as the dinosaur footprints in the limestone that are actually real. Actually those footprints are real, the thing is they only look human if looking is all you do. Do any number of serious testing and suddenly they look very dinosaur-like

I think Ryan said something not-entirely-terrible about immigration reform at one point, which is what got him cast into the outer darkness. Yeah even Ramirez thinks Ryan is a RINO at this point and he's the shillingest Republican shill to ever shill for the Republican party.

Plus one of the main themes of the movie is that even if you hear it straight from the source God's word can be misinterpreted, which is what usually separates creationists from the saner religious community.

This is distressingly lucid and clear for a Muir cartoon. Minimal attempts to be witty and no dogwhistles, just straight-up "Do what we say or we'll torture you to death" Also the Inquisition is chump change compared to pre-Christian Rome and what it did to political/religious prisoners.

The idea that an oathkeeper would be privy to a raid on Muiry Sue's house and be able to get a message out to him without anyone stopping them is hilarious to me. Their members don't exactly hide in plain sight and it would be pretty easy for that branch of the ATF to cut the known Tea Partier out of the loop before they raid the anti-government crazy's house.

When Daniel Craig came out with his anti-sexism ad, he drew a comic where Zed punches Craig/Bond and berates him for betraying his sex by doing wimpy poo poo like take orders from a woman. Not Zed, he drew Sean Connery Bond doing it because of the man's known and well documented opinions on domestic abuse.
