So was I. I really wanted to go to his blog and read "people need to understand that GRS is plastic surgery just like nose jobs, used to bring someone's body in line with how they want to be seen, and only the shallowest of people will think ill of it". I was really hoping that would be what I found there.

Instead, :smith::hf::smith:

Also, both sides are going to start out in check and will have to take the first turn using their king to kill the queen next to it. Damned if I know what happens after that.

Kings are both in checkmate. Can't take out the Queen without being put in check with two pawns. Maybe a subtle commentary about MLKs infidelity and where he's being threatened by his queen, but if he got rid of her, there would be two others ready to pounce or maybe it's a bad cartoon and a worse chess game....

I thought integration involved eliminating the concept of race by forcing everyone to breed with each other until there were no longer any races left.

As long as there are different races, there will always be racists. The final solution to the racism problem should involve the extinction of all races. And everything that makes us unique.

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.

EDIT: Totally forgot - holy gently caress he actually used "having my junk cut off" as a synonym for GRS. What a shitlord.

The joke is that she should treat her like any other stupid puff piece female celeb interview though?

Backwards is pretty relative in this chess setup and in the Political Cartoons thread.

White goes first and is in checkmate, assuming the kings start on their own sides. White always loses to black. A Historically Inaccurate Cartoon.

Strictly speaking there are no rules for actually capturing a king though, as long as they ended their turn out of check they would be fine

Not so much a scandal with the French president because no one here actually seems to care but it seems he's been caught having an affair with an actress. He would arrive at her hotel on a motorcycle driven by his bodyguard in the lamest looking attempt at being incognito. Still kinda weird to me how no French person I've spoken to gives to shits about the affair where were I back at home we wouldn't hear the end of it.

The PM's partner(unmarried long-time girlfriend) has also been hospitalized since the scandal came out, which is complicating the narrative. The initial wave of stories consisted of "French people don't care about politicians' infidelities", but there's been a second wave of "this time, it looks like they do care" stories. I personally have no idea what's going on over there, aside from continuing to be perplexed that these guys can't keep their pants on.

Unless Christie is stepping down from his office, it is disingenuous as gently caress to say you want Obama to do "what Christie did." You'd be howling for his blood if Obama fired a bunch if people but stayed in office.

If Obama actually did bomb the poo poo out of Iran, Ramirez would be first in line to make "What a bloodthirsty, warmongering, savage throwing OUR TROOPS' LIVES AWAY!!!" cartoons. I think the only cartoonist who might actually respond positively would be Kirschen because his hatred of Muslims would override his hatred of Obama.
