In regards to the Latuff piece, stories about Islamic terrorism get about 4.5x as much coverage as terrorism committed by other groups.

The SCOTUS ruled that offensive names can be trademarked. I think it was a band of Asian people named "The Slants" which is...yeah, but from what I saw they're a band of Asian people so people weren't clutching their pearls as much as Lester would like to believe.

Of course, the problem is that nobody ever wanted to outlaw the name "Redskins", but just have them change it because it's a slur as a team name. There's this failure on the right to realize that the freedom to do something doesn't mean you have to do it, nor that you are absolved of and kind of judgement or consequence for doing it. Sure, I have the freedom to go out and call people on the street assholes, but they can also tell me maybe I shouldn't do that and I'm a dick for continuing to do so.

And also that having your trademark revoked doesn't mean you can't keep using it, it just means anyone else can use it as well and you can't stop them at the federal level.

I can appreciate the message but this isn't really how gerrymandering works. Republicans don't want to create a bunch of all-Republican districts, they set it so there's a small number of overwhelmingly Democratic districts and a whole bunch of districts where Republicans have a slight majority.

It's really the most transparent concern trolling. "So you think we should cut down on CO2 emssions huh? But I see you exhaling it right now!" :smug:

Considering the source, you're definitely right. But it's true that air travel is a huge source of emissions and it is a bad look for conferences on climate change to be that carbon-positive. I know this because people who actually care talk about it, and talk about what they can do to improve it (a step Tinsley is obviously not interested in).

Frankly they should just start a forum.

Yeah, Branco, most investigations are trying to find illegal acts in order to prosecute someone.

To be fair, all criminal investigations should begin with a firm idea of what they're going to find. You can't investigate someone "just because".

To be accurate, this one did know what it was going to find and all they're discovering is the details.

I'm so happy the attitude of "Why should YOU go to jail for a crime SOMEONE ELSE noticed?" is now a valid criticism. I'm going to try that next time I get pulled over for speeding "Well officer, I think you'll find that half of this is your fault: after all, if you hadn't checked my speed you'd never have known I was speeding." :smuggo:

and he falls down. Bolling's had a few strips in/titled Chagrin Falls and it's always about that grumpy bald guy rejecting lefty solutions and cutting his own throat. He probably happened across the town's name same as you did and thought it was funny there was a place named "Angry Trip".

Krieder wrote an interesting article on using assassination in political art. Figured it would be relevant.

quote:

Americans who take their kids to Saw and Alien movies still seem oddly shocked by violent imagery in political satire, maybe because most mainstream American editorial cartoonists have turned in such lazy, gutless, Donkeys-&-Elephants hackwork for the last half-century or so. Their British counterparts have always been crueler and funnier — possibly because they have a history of literal, rather than symbolic, beheadings in managing transitions of power. Crude images of sex and violence, gluttony and flatulence, dismemberment and cannibalism recur in the cartoons of Gillray and Cruikshank, and persist in the work of their successors, like Ralph Steadman, who drew Nixon as a malignancy being excised from the heart of the Republic, and Steve Bell, who draws President Trump's head as a toilet.

Kreider is still the perennial thread hero. Excellent article.
