Tbf last February or so I chewed someone out for buying into the xenophobic trope of the scary foreign disease that's always amounts to nothing. Boy was I wrong.

What do you mean? A dying anthropomorphized "year" is very insightful commentary on the passage of time in the context of the human experience.

The oldest joke about 2020 lasting forever I can find is a 2012 article on the loving SCP Wiki, where the doomsday clock says 2020 will end on 2022-01-01.

The Saga

Thanks to the pointers I got from HootTheOwl, Wiki Sours has now been, as far as I can tell, de-spammed. All spam pages and spam users are gone from the SQL database. I'm gonna re-enable editing for regular users, but at least for the time being keep new user registration disabled until I have at least upgraded to the latest version of MediaWiki, and try to figure out how to better prevent spam users from registering. If you really feel like you need an account before then, either send me a PM or contact me on Discord—KennyMan666#1335—and we'll solve it.

Apropos and definitely not a humblebrag, but I'm getting my first shot of the Pfizer vaccine tomorrow and it's actually hard to wrap my mind about the fact that by February I won't have to worry about this thing anymore.

If you're in the US, don't forget to enroll in v-safe, the CDC's outcomes monitoring and notification system. They should provide the information you'll need to do so when you receive your first shot. The same applies to everyone else.

On franking credits, an article from before the last election: What are franking credits and why are some boomers so angry? (SBS). Basically self-funded retirees can create a share portfolio and get the Australian tax-payers to give them rebates, the cost is ballooning into crazy billions but it's political poison to take it away.
(Also last election Labor's position on coal was to try to walk the line between both sides, pleasing no-one.)

At this point I only truly hate the following lazy categories of political cartoons:

1. Dumb and so goddamn crazy. Even if I agree with their opinions.
2. Holidays and dead celebrities at the pearly gates.
3. The thing where something normal is going on and a conservative everyman is either being snarky or looking sad. Asay was the master of this.
4. Oops! I forgot to tell a joke! Jokeless Mallard Fillmore or Prickly City especially.

Bors has gotten lazy over the years with the wasteland comics and more and more "dumb and so goddamn crazy". I know they read the thread and I appreciate the in-jokes and their art is nice and they definitely have The Good Opinions but lazy is lazy.

Trump's war on parody has softened me on DASGDC a tiny bit. In the context of the many left-leaning cartoonists who just broke these last four years, there was something cathartic in Britt drawing Trump and the GOP as dirty, evil monsters every week because that's what they are. At a certain point, you aren't being nuanced in your criticism by avoiding that, just failing to show the obvious.

The federal timetable was supposed to be 20 million doses administered by the end of 2020, estimated doses given at this point is about 4 million. We are only at 20% of where we are supposed to be. If anything, Joe's prediction is looking hella optimistic.

In case that the UK's health care system should collapse are the guards permitted to evacuate the royal family on a boat constructed from the skin of the PM? Because that is the only use i could find for Boris Johnson.
