Just for the record, one trillion is about ten times the total number of humans who have ever lived, ever (estimated at about 100 billion). Justinian did some damage, didn't he? e. Whoops crap, this is a shameful way to snipe the new page. Apologies.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:I was saying it was a reference to this comic. I don't know why it is, or how the new cartoonist knows the parody, but it's absolutely a reference. There's coincidences and there's coincidences. There really isnt any way Fishman couldnt have been referring to the parody. And with that, he would know there is only a very small section of the Internet that would pick it up. I got no explaination what that all means but I'm guessing Fishman isnt onboard with at least some of Tinley's abhorrent bullshit. He certainly knows a lot more about crafting a punchline.

Is this one of those things where the word "trillion" refers to a different number than I'm thinking? The meanings of those words have changed over time and between places.

It's a modern translation - the phrase more literally says "a myriad myraids of myriads", with a myriad being 10,000. It's more like saying "millions upon millions upon millions of people" without necessarily meaning at least three million.

I figured it was something like that. Our current words for specific numbers evolved from more general terms.

This is such a lackluster take. It almost feels like it's implying that sort of stalking and eventual violence can lead to other things, just not death. I like this one.

Wait, I can't tell, is Dees pro or against the lockdown? Like, he seems to realize the virus is dangerous, but is he saying the government is also bad for trying to stop the spread of the virus? I'd say about 5 at a time is the right amount of crazy.

 Pope:  Target shuts up to 75 stores and converts others to Kmart, putting up to 1,300 jobs at risk (ABC). Target Australia's mid-market position in today's climate is why in particular it is getting the arse. Rowe 1:  Rowe 2:  Leak, Son of Leak:  Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk appearing in a few more cartoons. There is a huge argument between a whole bunch of factions about states closed borders, Queensland in particular. There is a push especially federally to restart local tourism but Queensland's government is arguing that just one infected tourist could be a disaster, also NSW as the state that has hosed up the most and let in a whole cruise ship can just shut the gently caress up. Zanetti:  "Beautiful one day, perfect the next" is a Queensland tourism slogan. Rowe 3:  Many have noted the irony in Pauline Hanson and Peter Dutton (both Queenslanders) being vocal about how important it is to open the borders.

Last week, armed RCMP officers tried to break up a religious ceremony on a Cree reservation in Saskatchewan. The chief refused to cancel the ceremony and asked the officers to leave, pointing out that the ceremony was taking precautions and that it was illegal for anyone to have guns at a sacred site. The RCMP left, so this is apparently a great national humiliation for Trudeau and the RCMP as previous Prime Ministers look on in horror.

It's also weirdly homophobic but that's so standard for this work as to be par for the course. Everything is about fragile masculinity and the threat of emasculation.

GIS'd the image, first link was a news story from CBC. quote:Monkman posted the work on Facebook on Saturday and said the piece was meant to highlight problems with "the Canadian (in)justice system" and the victimization of Indigenous women, who experience violence and sexual assault at rates higher than other women in Canada. But it provoked a backlash.

Vib Rib posted:When you get "Jon McNaughton", "Canada", "Thigh High Stiletto Boots", "Cree Nation", and "Brett Noel" on your bingo card THIS IS NOT A JOB MCNAUGHTON PAINTING! That's why it makes no sense, because an actual artist painted this instead of a hack who never met a metaphor he couldn't belabor to the point of comedy. The painting is called Hanky Panky and it's by a queer Cree artist called Kent Monkman. It's supposed to be about the failure of the justice system in dealing with the insane amount of sexual violence first nation's women in Canada face. In general, a lot of his work deals with colonialism, gender, sexuality, and the interrogation and deconstruction of classical Western art. The sexualized and stereotypical figure in the center is Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, Monkman's alter ego who shows up in a lot of his paintings. I dig this one, Trapper's Bride  Monkman's work is pretty provocative and Hanky Panky in particular is down right controversial, so if it leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth that's probably valid. But it's art that makes you think about why it bothers you, and that's more than McNaughton has ever been able to achieve.
