Considering all the "Do we really need DST" talk/articles that comes twice a year, that bird isn't alone on that opinion.

The only pronoun you need is "comrade". Works for everything.

It’s probably not all one or the other- he was a conservative but more pragmatic than the lunatics in the GOP today. The worst thing Nixon ever did was before he was president, sabotaging LBJ’s attempts to end the Vietnam War so he could run on being the only one who knew how to fix it.

Using pronouns you aren't used to takes some practice but only an rear end in a top hat would double down when they make a mistake instead of just saying "oops, sorry". I have a trans friend who spent about a year going by "they" while she figured things out and mistakes happen but if you actually try you'll find it pretty natural surprisingly quickly. In conclusion, the comic is kinda dumb because it focuses on "pronouns are easy" instead of "intentionally getting it wrong is dickish"

Do people who use anything other than he/she/they actually exist? I thought they were just a right-wing strawman.

I still struggle with the conjugation sometimes but I have no issue with making the attempt. I personally actually DO struggle with "they", not because I have an issue using it if requested but in my mind "they" is a term used when one is unsure of gender; it feels when I use it I'm creating some kind of quantum gender that will at some point be specified, thus negating the whole point of identifying as Genderqueer, Genderfluid etc. So I'm happy to use it but I actually prefer the weird specific pronouns because they feel like a clear statement of non-binary gender.

I used to know someone that preferred to go by ey/em. Some people like to affirm that they are gender-neutral rather than use pronouns that could also apply to people who are male or female. You probably don't need to actually learn them unless you meet someone who goes by them, though.

Well it's possible I'm the obtuse one but in my personal experience, intentionally using they for a person who your brain had previously associated with a gendered pronoun is significantly harder than using singular they for situations where you've been using it your whole life. Maybe it's different when you first meet them while they're going by they. e: the strawman is a dick because he doubled down but the strawman-owner took the wrong approach in their owning

The people who instantly take it personally and search google for an image to back up their persecution complex are the weird ones, normal people are just like "oh cool" and use whatever the person prefers because it's easy and nice.

In the 1970's he was one of the scientists who worked with Nixon on the EPA. Note: My SO worked at the EPA in the 1980's on the superfund stuff. I was told Nixon really wanted this to happen. Don't know why, but that's the story.

 Attorney General Jeff Sessions finally woke up. He intends to stop California’s open border policy. Not only is Governor “Moonbeam” Jerry Brown not enforcing our immigration laws, he and other lefty loons have actively been trying to suppress enforcement. This was apparently enough to snap Sessions out of his slumber. What will happen next could involve a long legal showdown, but for cartoon purposes I’ve boiled it down to a gun battle, and Brown lacks the firepower. —Ben Garrison

I like how Zyklon Ben's caricature of Moonbeams is having him literally embody California. Jerry Brown represents the state of California in a way that nobody else can emulate in Ben's world. Not even Manly Sun-God Trump can pretend to represent the USA as much as Brown represents California. Which also means that in his rants, when Ben criticizes and insults Jerry Brown, he does that to all Californians. Also I love the completely stupid detail of the vintage chimney being duct-taped while solar panels have been added. "Take that, California, you stupid modern-technology lovers who think you're too good for carbon monoxide poisoning!"

The sign on the "Golden Bear Saloon," just says "Welcome Immigrants." Not "illegal immigrants", or any other way of saying that, just "immigrants." On the side that you're meant to find disagreeable and wrong. quote:California’s cities are bastions of the leftist, virtual signaling, egalitarian mindset. They want everyone and anyone in the world to come here and get free stuff, including education, health care, welfare and driver licenses Egality, education, health care-- truly the stuff of nightmares.

Jeff Sessions: Armed, with no badge, and sporting a bandana, like a common bandit. Brownifornia: Badge = law enforcement, and unarmed. Sessions is supposed to be the hero in this showdown. Also, I had no idea the wild west was so dirty, what with plastic syringes and post-it notes lying all over the streets.
