Just realized Garrison’s cartoon sucks even more, because he made a cartoon about troops being stuck in a garage during the Inauguration of Joe Biden and couldn’t even make an easy Zappa reference.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Joe Parrish worked for the Chicago Tribune and seems to have been artistically talented, and opposed to FDR and american involvement in WW2, and something of an rear end.

Isn't the average American IQ about 90? I mean IQ is bullshit but 95 doesn't indicate an idiot or anything, certainly not by local standards.

100 is an average IQ, by definition. Also IQ is a better measure of how long someone went to school than any inherent thinking ability, despite attempts to make it otherwise.

Yeah, IQ tests first measure your education and then measure your cultural and socio-economic closeness to whoever designed the test.

Particularly low measures can be indicative of a cognitive impairment. Otherwise they're largely useless.

Weren't IQ tests originally designed to prove that racism had a "scientific" basis anyway?

I’ve heard that, but also that it was changed to try to show the opposite later. Basically it’s the bad science of creating a test to prove your point, but the point keeps changing.

Everyone wondering about IQ tests needs to watch this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBc7qBS1Ujo

Yes it's two and a half hours long, but it's worth it- it's a thorough, comprehensive attempt to break down the evidence regarding IQ, particularly as it applies to the infamous book "The Bell Curve," which is consistently cited by idiots who didn't read it and don't understand what they're talking about when they argue that it's correct. It goes through the studies the book's IQ poo poo is based on and finds all of them, 100% of them, to be lacking, often to the point of malice- which was a bit of a task because the authors did a better-than-average job hiding how much bad science their bullshit was built on.

Both sides BAD GOOD!








Sinfest is now calling for unity, because really there are very fine people on both sides. Can't we all just get along?

That very same week Sinfest also put out several comics accusing various social media sites of being fascists', right around the time Twitter started banning people for doing little things like (checks notes) being part of a fascist coup that attempted to murder multiple government officials.

Those ones are secret Nazis too. They want one unelected leader to rule in perpetuity and be served unquestioningly. Calling him "King" instead of "Fuhrer" is just a whitewash.
