Similarly Polonius' advice to his son (the source of 'To thine own self be true' and 'Neither a borrower or a lender be') is actually suppose to be trite platitudes from a hypocritical bore, literally mocked behind his back by the recipient. So of course hypocritical bores love act like it's great wisdom.

VitalSigns posted:Not that hypocrisy matters but I thought hacking political opponents such as the DNC was good Hacking the DNC is good, because they're bad. Hacking Trump is bad, because he's good. Hannity gave the same excuse when Trump met with Kim Jong-Un and people were calling out how Hannity repeatedly said "The president should never meet with dictators, never have diplomatic relationships with dictators, it would be a massive mistake for the president to ever meet with Kim Jong-Un." He straight up just went "Yeah, I said that it would be a mistake, because Obama was a bad president. Since Trump is a good president, it's not a mistake for him to do it."

That line transforms from a pining for her lover to Juliet lamenting her poor luck in falling for the the worst person she could in town. Yeah he's also the source of "Brevity is the soul of wit" and people forget that the statement is supposed to be so stupid that it's funny.

 Pope:  Australia’s largest coal-fired power station, Eraring, to close in 2025, seven years early (Guardian). "Origin Energy says the 2,880MW black-coal generator in NSW is not well-suited to rapidly changing conditions in the national electricity market". Rowe:  A whole pile of what's going on in Australian politics. Moir:  Lethbridge:  Opposition leader Anthony Albanese in the target. Dyson:  Leak, Son of Leak:  That is Simon Holmes à Court, who funds/runs Climate 200 which donates money to politicians who improve climate policy. They are currently funding the "Voices of" independent group which is running candidates against Liberals and Nationals where climate action is a large policy difference.

It also really speaks to the toxic conservative worldview of sports, where everyone who's not #1 is a filthy, worthless loser. And god forbid that kids do sports to have fun.

On the face of it it's quite good, but the metaphor is wonky. The setup is a "pistols at dawn", which suggests both parties want a war (untrue). And in such a duel, walking away is the lead-up for shooting, so it doesn't even match up with the idea of a withdrawal. Really this cartoon only works if the message is "Russia is cheating"

That is true, and indeed lying about withdrawal is one of the ways it's cheating, but the metaphor is still wonky (because if Russia was walking away, that wouldn't be withdrawal - that would be getting ready to shoot) E: it's still the best of the bunch, to be fair.

There's also no mentioning of trans women. he just automatically assumes that reader is trans phobic enough to get the point. Taken on it's own it's just a really bad motivational speech.
