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.

"To make our point that IQ is genetically tied to race, we need to eliminate confounding variables. Can we find a society where blacks had no social discrimination against them? I know! Apartheid-era South Africa!"

You know the saying about how everybody thinks their dog is the best, and they're all correct?

I'm of the opinion that every chud is the most ignorant. They're all the biggest moron, the most racist/misogynistic/homophobic/transphobic/etc.

I wish. While Ben probably thinks the Dems don't care because they're evil tyrants, the electoral college can't be voted away. It would require a constitutional amendment to get rid of, and there's too many Republican state legislatures for it to pass.

Yes, yes, but what are the awards called? I'm not going to nominate a political cartoon for an award with a sensible name. It would be respectful.

E: By the way, where did Garrison post that little screed about "the only way back is violence"? Because I think there's a couple of government agencies who would like a word with the Notorious ZBG about it.

Any astronomical event is a brain worm conspiracy if you want it to be.

In this case, it's allegedly the same conjunction that heralded the birth of Baby Jesus, so you can fill in whatever blanks you like about what that means for Trump.

David Pope is still on holiday but he drew this on his phone:

Regarding Scott Morrision's comments 26th of January wasn't "particularly flash" for the convicts on the First Fleet in regards to indigenous opposition about this being our national day.

Golding has a bunch of his smaller cartoons:

Wilcox:

Seven out of ten Australians agree with 26th January being our national day which is used as an argument for keeping it, counterpoint being it isn't a great amount for a day that is meant to be about national unity.

Warren Brown:

Australia okays the Pfizer vaccine.
