It's always funny when they try poo poo like this because it always reveals that they just have this concept of reactionary, instinctive hate of anyone who's not on the right team. They can't conceve of a moral or principled stance.

Cops, republicans and Amazon employees? One of those things is nothing like the others.
They mean “People at Pride as Amazon Employees to promote Amazon Business.” but that would be too honest, so label it “Amazon Employees” to give the impression Pride is kicking gay warehouse workers who are just there as a non-employee. Like Body Snatchers where you casually mention your Amazon job and everyone starts pointing and screeching.

Dishonesty is all they have now.

Extremely AGC.

The choice of everything being grey except the flags does make this feel like the dourest, dullest pride march ever, but given many people in the crowd and on the sides are smiling and happy I'm not sure that's on purpose. I guess even in the most depressing times when all seems grey pride can still bring some brightness to the world

Reminder that Elon Musk said he'd end world hunger if someone gave him a reasonable plan for doing so, and someone (I think a UN council) drew up one that would cost six billion dollars, a mere fraction of what he spends on other vanity projects, and he immediately chickened out.

elon musk loves nothing more than to build an extremely claustrophobic space and put a person in it who will probably die horribly as a result, so his solution to homelessness would look a lot like his solutions to traffic and children trapped in a cave

Kind of, but he didn't chicken out, he set an impossible standard at the start by purposefully misunderstanding what they intended to accomplish with six billion.

He is a super vain man, so everything has to maintain his delusional self-image as Tony Stark.

I’m sure he bought Twitter on a whim because he thinks himself invincible and wanted adulation from his man-children followers. The second his finances have to go under the slightest bit of scrutiny he wimps out and invents an excuse to preserve his ego. It’s sad.

Uhh, ACTUALLY, I think you'll find that plan would only end hunger across the entire planet for a finite period of time, and not literally solve it for all future generations forever, and therefore the 9 million people who die of hunger every year wouldn't really benefit from it anyway.

He set it up in his very first post. That's deliberate sabotage, not chickening out. Not sure which is worse, but they're different.

Unless you already have a deep-seated hatred of anything even remotely gender non-conforming then nothing bad is shown actually happening here.

It's amazing that the gender that for decades has got the lovely end of the stick for misdiagnosis, medical gaslighting, psychiatric abuse, etc. doesn't do most of the spree killings if it's all down to the mental health.

Giving children role models that are not gender confirming increases their chances of becoming tolerant of others and their own identities, leading to better mental health. I know that's not the intended reading, but it's not even a stretch.

As for the gun as a solution to mental health crisis, don't count on conservatives being against suicide/execution of mentally ill people.

I kinda feel hate and disgust at that comic now, but that's just because the man on the far right looks a lot like Ted Cruz now. I'm pretty sure that comic was made long before Cruz decided to look like a knock-off Dollarstore Ra's al Ghul though.

Also it’s not even a “both are fine” cartoon because the moustache dude is clearly the same guy in both pictures, which makes it a comparison of “a parent forced into a relationship with someone he is not attracted to, because his loving someone is a crime that puts his life at risk” versus “two parents in love and supporting one another.” One option is obviously preferable.

You might suggest that dude could just be bi, but do you honestly believe bi people exist in Asay’s world?
