Basically my favourite Bors cartoon in the past year or so. Not political in the slightest, which is probably why.

Basically as a person who did a lot of robotics work in college it really annoys me when people who have no idea what they're talking about go "robot revolution any day now amirite  " every time there's an advance of any kind in the fieldPersonally I blame James Cameron.

Bors made the same dumb joke that everyone makes about those Boston Dynamics videos. It's just A Thing Happened.

It is sometimes fun to make jokes about what the robots would do if they took over, or what the straw that breaks the camel's back is in making them decide to make humans into slaves and people make those kinds of jokes when a minor advance has happened, because that's when the jokes spring to their mind. The Bors one is of the effortless and mediocre at best variety, of course.

Yeah, I really like the content of this, but I didn't even realize the guy was Brian Williams until the last panel, or even that they were all supposed to be the same guy. And even in the last panel, even though the speech bubble basically says "I am Brian Williams", I thought it was Reagan for a second.

Well Obama's not wrong. There's no reason to suspect the Mole People of terrorism. The media just uses them as a punching bag because of bias and years of old anti-mole people propaganda. I'm glad to see that Ramirez is pro-Hollow Earth.

achillesforever6 posted:Nero was actually away when the Great Fire of AD 64 happened and immediately began a relief effort once the fire started to die down. It's McCoy. Do you really think that caring about the common people of Rome would win Nero points with him? 50 CE, Roman era McCoy probably painted several fresco's of Nero stealing tax money to give to undesirables while ignoring the obvious threat of the Iceni.

That is the most pleasing Ramirez I have ever seen, I'm glad he spared us his ghastly drawing of a human face by hiding it in the sand. 1 2I didn't hear about Lindsey Graham, I didn't believe it. Our wish for a second GOP clown car may come true.

Skye gets a not-terrible joke in, good for her Also isn't it more accurate to say that Christianity is the faith that puts "prophet first?" I mean Muslims state pretty emphatically that Muhammad and the other prophets (including Jesus!) were not God, just very righteous men whom God chose as His messengers. But it's a Christian article of faith that Jesus is definitely God.
