Horsey posted:

Washington has the biggest ferry fleet in the country for a very good reason. Puget Sound cuts the western side of the state in half and its waters are studded with a string of gorgeous islands that can be reached only by boat.

In other words, our ferries are not just tourist attractions, they are links in the transportation system as vital as any urban freeway or farm-to-market road. Yet, despite their necessity, state politicians habitually treat them with neglect until things get so bad that they rush to apply a tardy fix that fails to resolve the ferry system’s perennial crisis.

The Bremerton-to-Seattle ferry ran aground a few days ago when the boat lost power. It was just another reminder that most of the ferry fleet is old and in constant need of repair. It was also a reminder that, big as the state fleet may be, it is not big enough. When a ferry has to be taken out of service, there often is no replacement available to fill in.

Even when there are enough boats to cover all the runs, there are frequently not enough crew members to staff all the boats. As a result, runs get cancelled. If a person wants to get from Bremerton to Seattle and ferry service is disrupted, drivers can always take the long drive down to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and eventually get where they want to go. When ferries break down or crew fails to show up in the San Juans Islands, though, people are simply stranded.

The Legislature has finally provided $1.5 billion to build replacement boats, but the money and the construction of new ferries will be spread over 16 years. That means, for the next several years, we can expect more of our half-century-old ferries to break down more often, more boats running behind schedule and more people delayed and frustrated, if not stuck without a way to get to or from home.

It did not have to be this way, but generations of state officials never cared enough to be good captains of our fleet.

So I only occasionally feel the need to comment on some of these (og politoon thread reader) but is the criteria to be posted itt still that it's published somewhere for money. Struggling to imagine a newspaper or website that's ostensibly neutral running that and being fine. Like that's just transphobia and the comment is 'i would sooner all life on earth be wiped out than acknowledge a trans person'

What pisses me off most is they don't even wait for "something to happen" so the news gives them a fig leaf for their bigotry; they literally wake up and cackle to themselves while they draw hate cartoons. There's so much demonstrably sick and wrong and corrupt in the world but they're busily whipping up hatred against people just trying to relieve themselves while existing in a false gender dichotomy.

Yeah definitely more likely if it's one of his than if it's say a Chris Muir original, but I think even syndicated cartoonists don't necessarily get every toon published.

So if you see something horrible you can always tell yourself "well it might not be in any newspapers anywhere"

what keeps happening to my clothes
I have a low enough opinion of the press that I can definitely believe somewhere running that, even if just a more local paper. at least as long as there are still newspapers left that have the money to pay for cartoons (which... I assume still happens... to some extent). if you have never met a trans person or thought of them as human people (e.g. the kind of person who runs a newspaper) you might even find that just a silly cartoon about people these days

The problem is that in modern print media, a lot of this stuff is published in the hopes of money. Stiglich used to draw racism and transphobia for the Philadelphia Inquirer, and Gary Varvel used to be employed bythe Indianapolis Star, but now it’s all for “creators.com” where they publish work and hope that the papers will buy it.

As VitalSigns said, plenty of stuff has been posted in this thread that was clearly never published in any real paper, but because it fit the political cartoon form and was deemed as really good (Deep Hurting’s stuff, Kelly knock-offs, and people posting their great artwork on Twitter), because it was hilariously grotesque or awful (Barry), or because it was horrifically evil (Stonetoss for a while, Sinfest now)

A woman is existing in a public space while looking slightly different from the established appearance dictated by gender norms, this is apparently enough to wish for the end of the world as we know it (but I feel fine).
