Along with all the other criticisms, I feel like this cartoon would at least have worked better if all the kids weren't Black.

Even with equality, Branco has the least advantaged figure work extra hard to get a sub-par experience with their face just barely poking above the fence.

I had to back up and reread this a couple times to get the point. The "if global warming, why cold?" format is evolving. The claim is that AOC refers to hot weather as "climate change," but then when severe winter storms show up she says "that's just weather." In reality, she and others who accept the science frequently point out that climate change can lead to more intense winter storms.

The whole point of the original cartoon is that the final kid couldn't see the game at all, having all kids be able to see from the beginning is a completely different scenario that just makes the metaphor incomprehensible. Also, what does critical race theory (If that is what CRT on the shovel is supposed to be) have to do with this at all?

I think it's a poorly executed version of a conservative "argument" I've heard before: in order for everyone to be equal, smarter people have to voluntarily dumb themselves down so that everyone is at the same level. Otherwise, according to right-wing gospel, things wouldn't be "fair" according to their straw man liberals. It's a piss poor understanding of affirmative action, as well as the demands of people who call for equity. Morons like Branco think that rights are a finite resource that you have to take away from group A so that group B lives like kings and queens and doesn't do any work.

SneezeOfTheDecade posted:DV can correct me, but I think search has been fixed so that it doesn't matter. So here's something interesting! Remember how March 4 was supposed to be the Real Inauguration and Trump was going to take over? Before March 4, Kellies nominations were fairly sparse - one every couple pages, if that. After March 4, Kellies nominations accelerated hard - more pages have a nomination than don't. I just thought that was interesting.

 Pope:  The argument has started again between states and the federal government over how Australia deals with quarantine: Basil (blue) is federal, Sybil (pink) is the states. Currently most overseas travellers need to quarantine in city hotels run by the states which is not an ideal environment for quarantine long term. Quarantine is meant to be organised federally - it is in the constitution - but the states moved in to deal with it because someone had to do something and the federal government was happy to let someone else take the blame when things go wrong. Rowe:  Facebook removes Craig Kelly's page, says former Liberal MP breached misinformation policies (ABC) Also: A Helpful Guide For Craig Kelly, Who Is Having A 'Woke' Crisis Over Cyberpunk 2077 (Kotaku) Wilcox:  National Archives of Australia warns historical recordings, films and images could soon be lost (ABC) Knight:  Leak, Son of Leak:  Western Australian premier Mark McGowan. Perth was the latest outbreak from hotel quarantine, and McGowan is the one who brought up how the federal government needs to some up with something else to deal with quarantine than rely on hotels.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Also, what does critical race theory (If that is what CRT on the shovel is supposed to be) have to do with this at all? I don't know that I've ever heard any right wing criticism of CRT other than "it's cultural Marxism" and "it creates division between races," but neither one of those really fits since all three men in the cartoon are black, and it looks like it's saying that CRT is somehow responsible for putting the tall one in a hole too deep for him to see the game. So what I think the idea is, and I'm not actually 100% sure, is that critical race theory absolves people of color of any responsibility and effort. Because critical race theory teaches that racism takes multiple forms and that racism inherent in many systems leaves people of color disadvantaged. So to the right, that means that CRT is teaching minorities "All you have to do is claim that anything bad that happens to you is because of racism and nothing is your fault." So I think (maybe) the idea is the tall black man used the CRT shovel to dig a hole to stand in so he can't see the game, and rather than climb out of the hole he created himself, he just says "It's whitey's fault I can't see the game! I demand justice!"

 Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, still president of Somalia for the moment, is clinging on to the rope. I'm guessing the guy in the Somalia car is one of the parliamentary leaders who agreed to extend the president's term for two years. e: Actually it might be Fahad Yasin Haji Dahir, the Somali intelligence chief who secures a lot of Qatari funding for the government.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Look, this comic isn't wrong, but it's incredibly "you gotta give me the fangs" adjacent In a thread obsessed with Rall, it still somehow manages to be the only strip that is actively unpleasant to look at, and where the author clearly has absolutely no business using a visual medium. Well, maybe it's tied with Branco.

The only story I can find on it that isn't from Fox News has details like that it turned out that like a copy of it was found among a pile of other books donated by some person. It'd be like blaming Obama if a random copy of some book he wrote showed up.
