Bonsteel can probably go on the no longer cartooning list. She hasn't produced anything in more than a year and antiantiunderground.com has been offline for about that long (well, not offline, it's some kind of Japanese language website now). In fact, it looks like she has taken down everywhere that she hosted her cartoons. She was young and never did cartooning as a job, so she probably just decided to bury it completely it and move on.

Hmm... maybe this might have to do with FanDuel claiming they aren't gambling despite totally being gambling? Or the fact that FanDuel employees have gamed their own system for monetary gain? It's okay to be a gambling site, but when companies claim they aren't to avoid gambling compliance laws when they're clearly a gambling site, that's where things go wrong.

FanDuel is the Martin Shkreli of companies. They have the worst ads and are completely predatory on the average sportswatcher, and only someone being willingfully dense would throw their support behind them.

The "inside" in Inside Amy Schumer is supposed to refer to her mind since the show's main visual transition queue is showing her thinking about something then zooming in on her head.

This just isn't true, though.

Working for a coal company is probably not that similar to working for a solar panel company or windfarm. The skills aren't really transferable. And you're also assuming that the new energy companies will be built anywhere near the old coal mines.

A couple years ago I visited a small mining town that had basically been thrown into poverty when the mine closed. The entire town was based around that mine, and no one was able just transition to a new position at a windfarm or whatever. These are poor working class people with children and large extended families/support systems, sometime divorces, who can't just pack up and move away.

Like, it's easy to dismiss them as dumb hicks who think global warming is a lie because they're gullible, but these are actually people whose lives are ruined by stuff like this. It's not cut and dry positive progress. You are throwing people under the bus, whatever you do.

Yeah, the best thing would be to have a plan to replace the jobs lost by closing a coal plant, or to allow for movement to other places - both of these would require some sort of government investment. You'd be very hard pressed to find a group of lawmakers that would be willing to pass a budget that would include what would basically be a "save a town" fund.

While I encourage reading this post for yourself, the short version is that, like the URL says, you can't deny people their rights and be nice about it. If you're against gay people getting married, you're a homophobe, full stop. It doesn't matter what your reasons are, it doesn't matter if you're smiling and chirping while you tell people that they're filthy degenerates who need to repent or burn and don't deserve the same rights as straight people. If you're making the same point as Westboro, you're going to get lumped in with them.

And that's really the thing that people like Adam4d don't, can't, or won't understand: nobody gives a poo poo how nice you are about denying their rights, because you're still denying them their loving rights.

I'm not sure what's worse, people who try to be nice about their homophobic views ("I love gay people! I just don't think they should be married.") or those supposed gay marriage supporters who say "I don't agree with what he's saying, but at least he's being nice about it" and let it slide.

MLK Jr. said the white moderate was worse than a KKK member because of their inaction to care, so I'm inclined to say the latter is worse.

Random cartoon request: I just got out of a meeting with upper management, where our general manager described the changes our organization needed to make. He ended it describing a political cartoon he saw, saying it was two panels, where the first one was a speaker talking to a crowd asking "Who wants change?" and everyone raising their hands. The second panel the speaker asked "Who wants to change?" and no one had their hand raised.

Anyone familiar with it? I'm mainly curious who the artist might be.

As insane as they are, the McCoys, Lesters and Ramirezes of the world know the mainstream Republicans pay their check. I think it's only Branco and Garrison that have come out as full-blown Trump supporters.

I still have no idea if the mainstreams will cover their nose and go all in with Trump or if they'll try to get Rubio in through a split convention. If the former happens, you'll surely start seeing the mainstream cartoonists portraying Trump in a positive light.
