With like a billion stories going in parallel at any given time I figured Marvel could keep at least one story going where white men save the day every time so people like that are satisfied.

I feel like she's been drunk at a party, maybe just one or maybe different ones, for months.

Lots of old people will never understand what discrimination on a societal level is really about and they'll die thinking that it's mystic voodoo that you have to be a priest of it to understand. I can't even feel good or bad about it anymore; it just is.

That said, every time a young person leaves college without understanding it it's an ongoing fuckup that desperately needs to be addressed right now.

Treating panel 3 as inevitable is the basis of a lot of this and to me it's like treating people making GBS threads in the street as inevitable.

It's sad but he may be right. If you can't change the most basic things about how men were raised to interact with women you can at least give some case studies and say "see? don't do what he did". Then you wait for them to retire, be fired or die and be replaced with women or men raised a different way.

I'm starting to get a little worried about Bennett

He hasn't made a cartoon about an issue in months, even one where something was being torn down to build something else up or where a bunch of letters in one word fell down to spell a different word. It's all been very generic "tromp bad" stuff of the type you'd see your aunt or uncle post on Facebook. He's been having a really rough time with Trump being president.

The Onion also hasn't done many articles recently about specific Trump things, I think because his poo poo happens too fast and it all just runs together. He's struck a blow against satire that I didn't see coming.

There are a lot of marginally good things that can come from the Trump presidency and one is a wider understanding that stock indexes are not a good measure of the overall health of a country.

Why wouldn't he? Supporting someone convicted of civil rights violations isn't going to tell anyone anything they didn't already know about the GOP.

"You're being discriminated against" to someone in that minority group and you're not. Whether you're right or wrong (usually wrong) it isn't going to end well for you.

Is wine coming out of the R's nose and landing on the D's shoe some bizarre metaphor?

Also if what R said is a reference to something I have no clue what that is either. I assume it's not the little girl saying "por que no los dos?"

Did any actual conservative speakers get protested last year or just straight up self declared white supremacists? And yeah I know the response will be "all conservatives are white supremacists now" but someone could still be talking about laissez faire economics or something.

That sure sounds like a lot more enjoyable and mentally stimulating way to examine texts than to say "It says she was made from a rib so I guess that's what happened, case closed".

The problem is that so many of the normal people on the right who are going
"Aw shucks, I just wanna work and support my family."

are also the same terrible people who are saying
"Aw shucks, if only we were allowed to put the blacks back on the plantations, the women back in the kitchens, and hunt the queers for sport like back in the old days, then things would be great again."

The contradiction I keep hearing from a Texan friend about everyone she knew growing up was "people are living day to day and have no time or energy to think about the world outside of their family and friends" and "they vote aggressively to gently caress over things and people far distant from them".

Siiiiiiiiiiigh.

"High cheekbones" is a Native American stereotype going back literally hundreds of years and Elizabeth Warren's grandmother told her that that's where the family got their high cheekbones.

This is just Tinsley dog whistling so loving hard his head should have popped if it wasn't held together by the pressure inside his own rear end in a top hat.

I didn�t know that�s what he meant (I thought he was just making a crack about her face I hadn�t noticed since I�m not obsessed with her) because I don�t know all this old racist grandpa poo poo.
