I was gonna write something pissed off but then a realized that he really does see “celebrate diversity” as empty as I see “thoughts and prayers”. The gulf in perception between us isn’t even something to get angry about anymore, just depressed.

Celebrate diversity is an empty phrase. It's just not used as a craven excuse to do absolutely nothing in the face of very real suffering. There's platitudes and then there's platitudes.

Not even that, she was listed as native American in the directory of the law school she was working at before she got into politics. Afaik she never used that on an application, so it's just the right wing hate machine targeting a politician they hate.

She did list herself as Native American on one of her college applications, actually - her grandmother told her she was part Native American. She subsequently found out that that family story wasn't true and stopped claiming she was part Native American, but the law school in question still listed her as one.

Chris Riddel of the Observer makes a point of using lots, here's a not particularly egregious example (especially as I think the W. Rabbit and Mad Prattler labels are present in the original

But I've seen him draw 6 headed monsters w/ every head labelled.

He just kept tweetin' 'bout some dude and his rockets

He's Trump, He's Trump
What's on his head?
He's Trump, He's Trump, He's Trump
I think it's dead.

Trump is a big celebrity
The Russians claim that he really likes the pee
He never feels too dumb because
His bots fawn over every little stupid thing he does

He's Trump, He's Trump
He's real inept
He's Trump, He's Trump, He's Trump
Has he sunset?

His buddy Mikey was a Colts-hating douche
His friend with no wife he called the Scaramooch
His spokesguy Spicer was kind of a wimp
He went to the White House and acted like a pimp

He's Trump, He's Trump
He's real far-right
He's Trump, He's Trump, He's Trump
And he's too white

Is this Trump out of his head?

Now I'm seriously tempted to tweet Gary and tell him I'm directly responsible for getting Flying McCoys kicked out of M, a Norwegian comic book.
I emailed the editor with some links to comics like Obama in the dumpster. She wrote back and thanked me and said she'd look into it. The very next issue FC had been replaced with Bizarro.
I take great pride in having deprived those two scumbags of a small amount of income.

I've been thinking about the viability of this sort of much lower pressure, understated effort for a while, both with politoonists and with the alt-right.

Presumably it’s either wine or torn fabric, based on the wine glass next to her.

There’s no context to infer that it’s blood, at least, imo.

Poor Zelda, if it is what it implies, it is okay! You can still have a full productive life without having children! But yeah, her friend apparently has all the babys.

I think what it's going for is whether their uteruses are triggering some sort of biological impulse to have or care about kids. The "biological clock" thing.

That's not what the cartoon implies at all. The point of the cartoon is that she's really uncomfortable around children and doesn't want to have any while her friend is the polar opposite.

It might be lost in translation, because my imediate thought was "wait, Zelda is barren?" before I decided that that couldn't be what she was trying to say.

I got it no problem. Might help that I've had a female friend who is basically zelda but less of an rear end in a top hat who could easily have described her reaction to kids the same way

Yeah, that is actually what I was thinking , but I gotta admit the broken house and barren wasteland, had a lot of implication beyond just desire to be around kids. I know a lot of women who never want kids, so that isn't in my mind when you say ovaries and a barren plain. I think yeah it was just translation, and I sided on side of caution, since I give Zelda so much poo poo.

Jerusalem's status is disputed. Israel claims it as its capital. Putting the embassy there would legitimize the claim.
