Silver2195 posted:I'm pretty sure Rall has done more or less this exact cartoon before, possibly multiple times. Yes it's the laziest joke because the crowd he's preaching to wouldn't be swayed by "OH gently caress YEA IF A FERNER DID IT I'D BE MAD" because they already agree, the people who disagree would handwave that poo poo away, and it's not funny because it's been done a million times over and usually better.

made of bees posted:Was there a particular cartoon where Kelly got fat and it stuck that way, or was it a gradual process? I just now realized he used to be a lot skinnier. It's been a steady grow, but I think around the first 'noble American cartoonist' type comic he did he plumped up the little Kelly more for extra contrast.

Showing how actual revolutionary, anti-imperialist propaganda should be done instead of this warmed over wanna be crap. Yea this kind of cartooning for activism is way worse than that kind of cartooning for activism. I actually see a lot of McMillan poo poo in eco-fringe groups so if the pure metric is 'the choir they preach to prints their poo poo out' they're at least peers.

loquacius posted:I dunno, his series after the Marathon bombings about how Ben Franklin would say that Boston (still bleeding at the time) is a city of cowards because we allowed the police to catch a terrorist without throwing a libertarian revolution was pretty goddamn bad. I mean, you're right that it's not Roosevelts bad, but it's in the ballpark. I think we were numb to that because we had libertarians in this forum saying the exact same thing.

Kegluneq posted:Just sending the card to the address shown? I guess if it was to a house on a street with a common name in a sufficiently large city, it really would be undeliverable without a correct zip code to differentiate it. Zip and postal codes are rarely NEEDED, they save time and make the whole operation smoother, like how I can throw near anything that won't explode or die in the mail and it'll get to where I say in just a few days at most. They do that by having systems like zip/post codes to very rapidly sort things.

Gonna take a guess at this since I'm assuming there'll be at least one cartoon of it.

Oh my god is he really going to do an arc where his Russian character brings his lady to go gun down protesters that mainly consist of very poor people who'd like not to freeze to death in the Ukraine? I wanna be clear, this could be worse than Roosevelts because in the last one he blamed the 'killings and violence' on the protesters and not the corrupt government beating them to death.

Actually the comic could be super accurate for (at least many) views of it if we're supposed to think the weights will be keeping him in Gehinnom for a very long time? Though that'd end in him going to heaven when he's free of them and I doubt Latuff would be a fan of that ending for him.

Yea, the only Jewish group that, OFFICIALLY, faced trouble was the small group of ex-Jews who are now Christians, because, ya know, not Jews. They had options to convert but only to Orthodoxy and that's a pretty huge wall to climb. CULTURALLY though, yea, being an African Jew isn't great in Israel, lotta bullshit racism going on that's pretty disgraceful to a nation that was founded by people in very similar circumstances to the African immigrants.

Kugyou no Tenshi posted:It's really hard to like this one. Berge frames it (on his blog) as Couric asking Carrera once, being told that the question was off-limits, and moving on completely, with Cox mentioning something about it when she came out. The reality is that she started off asking Carrera, Carrera pointed out how insensitive the question was, moving on, then pressing the issue when Cox came out. He really does seem to be bordering on "if you don't want people asking about your genitalia, don't come out as trans". He also glosses over the fact that Couric referred to her guests as "transgenders", talked about their transitions while introducing them, and even said "she was born a man and that's why she's on our show" about Carrera. The joke is that she should treat her like any other stupid puff piece female celeb interview though?

Yea Nye is a big global warming study supporter but he's also a loving idiot about nuclear power which kinda makes an awesome 'wait what' situation. "We need to move away from burning dangerous fossil fuels!" "Cool, we should build more nuclear plants so we can do that." "WOAH MOTHERFUCKER THOSE GIVE YOU CANCER AND ALSO CHERNOBYL!"

rjryan3 posted:Can you provide source for these claims? Because unless I see evidence it just sounds like you two are just upset that Bill Nye doesn't recognize the "brilliance of nuclear power". For one he claims that cesium, a highly dangerous product of fission, is used to 'control reactors' which is basically as wrong as you can be about a thing and something anyone who's even Googled nuclear reactions knows. That alone should show he knows nothing about the issue. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2011/03/25/exp.nr.nye.dangers.leaking.reactor.cnn Along with that he's claimed 'radiation sickness' is sweeping Japan because of the meltdown, which, again, is absurd. He also says that the solution to Fukushima is to 'dump concrete on it like Chernobyl'. He really has no clue about what nuclear power IS let alone has any authority on its safety.

Also I have no issue at all with government run power production but that's a much more difficult fight I imagine.

Cabbit posted:I would imagine that a catastrophic wind accident would probably be far less destructive than a catastrophic nuclear accident, wouldn't it? I dunno, are we going to enter into who can tell the best short story territory here? I imagine you get those blades flying you can make a chunk of the area look like Man of Steel just went through. The point is that catastrophic nuclear failures are rare, and almost always caused by the government failing to regulate and protect. Private industry will cut corners, and it's the government's role to create rules and restrictions that mean when they do cut corners the situation is 'gently caress my power sucks this month' and not 'gently caress the plant is melting down, time to flee'.

Battleground Texas has been booming here and the Republicans had no loving clue that would happen. She still won't win, but she has the potential to really rally the troops and there's nothing that terrifies Texas Republicans more than the idea of blacks, women, and Mexicans all realizing 'wait we don't have to just accept this crap' at once.
