Once again Horsey wants to hug and kiss the cops.



quote:

A mechanic who biked to work and picked up his or her limited repair skills from a YouTube video would not be anyone’s first choice to do an automobile repair.

That is a metaphor for the Seattle City Council members who, in response to protests during the summer of 2020, vividly displayed their amateurism and ideology as they leaped in to tinker with the police department. As customers of city services, we are paying for it now.

Trying to appease activists calling for defunding of the cops, all nine council members and Mayor Jenny Durkan approved a scheme to pull Parking Enforcement Officers, as well as 911 dispatchers and other emergency services, out of the police department. Thanks to bureaucratic screwups, that unnecessary bit of performative wokeness has now forced the city to cancel more than 200,000 parking tickets, resulting in a $5 million hit to the municipal budget.

The council’s unguided legislative and rhetorical missiles aimed at the police can also be blamed for the exodus of cops from the city, which has resulted in longer emergency response times, a suspension of adult sexual assault investigations and a stall in community outreach programs.

Making the police less prone to use violent tactics and more nimble in their encounters with marginal communities is a very worthy goal, but, so far, too many council members seem more interested in acting out their disdain for the men and women whom we ask to do the city’s toughest job.

This might actually be one of the more vile posts I've seen from him, jeez.

I bet in terms of thankless grunt work that saves lives and people would soon notice them gone it's garbage collection, and in terms of deaths per hour on the job pizza delivery or something.

I'm pretty certain everyone knows, but most political cartoonists are framing it as a matter of hypocrisy. When Branco draws Nancy Pelosi as a witch and titles it "Witch Hunt," I don't think he's misunderstanding the term. I think his argument is more along the lines of "You claim to be hunting witches, when in fact the only witch here is actually you!"

AFAIK the deadliest job, by a long shot, is fisherman (barring things that are equally likely to kill you off the clock, like coal mining or sweatshops), but if we're talking about strictly working within the city, I'm pretty sure it's construction.

E: Apparently, it's roofing. Roofing has the most deaths per capita of visible city workers.

Garbage collection strikes are not uncommon in Denmark (we're talking every ten years or so), and they are super obvious and always get resolved pretty quickly, presumably by caving to the strikers' demands. It stinks while it's going on, but it's pretty cool.

I kinda wish the nurse strike had the courage to do the same thing.

In terms of "Job that most enables modern life as we know it", Garbage Men are saints compared to police. Sanitation and the removal of trash from city centers eliminated more deaths than every police department ever (citation: IDK but it sounds right).

Xinjiang Rumors by Luo Jie


quote:

LA summit reminds how US treats its friends by Zhang Zhouxiang

The US has invited “democracies” in America to a summit in Los Angeles from June 6 to 10.


The US’ intention is obvious: To make allies of those it considers “democracies”. Yet look at how it treats its allies?


It nixed France’s billion dollar submarine deal with Australia.


It eavesdropped on the German chancellor.


It imposed sanctions against Russia without considering what impacts they would have on the EU.


And Japan has suffered much from joining it in challenging the one-China principle.


A kindly reminder to the invitees to the Summit of the Americas: Be careful, and do not fall into the US’ trap.

Tomboys have always been more socially acceptable than boys with feminine interests. Because misogyny. A little girl who likes sports and toy cars is choosing the superior option! A little boy who wants to dress up as a princess is choosing something inherently inferior.

gently caress you, Ishida. I'd love to live in his fantasy world where being trans was cool and doctors were readily accessible.

Also, fun fact, prior to 2010, a diagnosis of gender dysphoria for children did not require a desire to transition. It instead just looked at a bunch of gendered behaviours, of which declaring yourself to be another gender or a desire to be another gender was only one factor. And then when the gender nonconforming kids grew up and didn't transition, the doctors were like "drat, guess really you can torture transness out of kids"

The change to require actually being trans and not just liking trucks and playing with boys (and also not torturing kids) seems to have angered many TERFs, since they want to go back to how it was in the 90s.

Ive seen trans men be called perverts (especially if they have given birth) and trans girls called victims (but they become perverts as soon as they participate in society). But, generally, if the transphobe is setting the narrative, it's all trans boy victims and trans woman perverts. The idea that trans women were once trans girls, or that trans boys grow up to be trans men is not useful to the narrative, so they pretend it doesn't happen.

Plus, from a pop culture standpoint, the Tomboys grow up to be the women in country music songs who are right there alongside the men drinkin' and muddin' and being one of the guys, except with lady parts, which makes it ok to be attracted to them and also the guy doesn't have to bother to engage in any interests outside his own because his Tomboy waifu is only into the same stuff he already is.

I dunno about that. I think it's just that his brain broke when he wasn't crowned King of Feminism years ago when he drew a stretch of cartoons where he gave himself a pass for his older, even more blatantly misogynistic work. Instead of realizing he was still a creep, he had a Principal Skinner "No, it's the women who are wrong" moment, and somehow concluded that trans women were the reason he was still being called out.
