Just double checking here, but is Ted Rall asking why the US doesn't have poor minorities protesting/rioting over police abuse?

You'll notice he doesn't mention police abuse as a problem the US has! He's only asking why poor minorities aren't protesting over the problems that affect Ted Rall.

Kelley most likely only read the (terrible) headline of the article he's referencing, but it's one of those "we accidentally made Biden look cool" jobs:

quote:

  • Some administration officials, many of whom went to elite schools, struggle with Biden's demand to ditch wonky, acronym-filled language and brief him as if they were talking to a close family member who isn't in the D.C. bubble.
  • Being yelled at by the president has become an internal initiation ceremony in this White House, aides say — if Biden doesn't yell at you, it could be a sign he doesn't respect you.
  • In January 2022, he was caught on a hot mic calling Fox News' Peter Doocy a "stupid son of a bitch."
  • [Connaughton] told of a time during the 2008 presidential campaign when a 23-year-old fundraising staffer got into the car with Biden. "Okay, senator, time to do some fundraising calls," the aide said. Biden responded by looking at him and snapping: "Get the gently caress out of the car."

Even if you love to drive, what kind of absolute dumbass wants to drive around sit in constant wall to wall traffic in NYC? The clutch thing to do if you’re driving into the city has always been to park at a park and ride near the highway and take the train/bus in.

Whenever people get deep into discussing the intricacies of human biological sex I feel out of my element and not entirely happy that is the subject.
And of course then I get reminded the whole reason this subject comes up is because mad TERFs use it to oppress people just trying to live their lives!

I know we all know that the “gently caress your feelings” crowd are the most feelings-driven, but it’s truly remarkable how monumentally true that is in the trans rights sphere. They’re 100% just squeamish about one of the corollaries of the obvious fact that we’re all made of programmable meat. And then they have the impudence, the god damned temerity, to claim that they’re standing up for science, the science they learned in year 5 that you’re supposed to unlearn later if you make it to university science. And even then, for the benefit of any “two genders” fuckheads in the room, let the record show that my primary school taught me the difference between gender and sex, and that there are at least three genders.

DISNEY’S CLUSTER BOMBERS
Cartoon published 07/11/2023

The Walt Disney Corporation is on a losing streak. They’ve lost nearly one billion dollars on their last nine movies combined. They are looking at a 70% drop in box office revenue over the last four years.

Fight Back Against Corruption with a small Donation! Support Cartoons and Save America

They are losing to films such as “Sound Of Freedom,” a current box office hit that was made by Santa Fe Films with only 1/20th of the budget of Disney’s latest “Indiana Jones” film. The latter was meant to be a summer blockbuster. Instead, it is another huge bust for Disney. Indiana Jones was made into a pathetic figure—probably because he was a strong, heroic, and resourceful white male—and that’s not compatible with the globalist’s anti-straight white male agenda. Nobody wants to see a beloved franchise hero getting humiliated by a rudely obnoxious female. Disney also destroyed ‘Star Wars’ with similar woke methods. How can the experts at Disney not have known that nobody wants to see their heroes ruined? People are starting to avoid all things Disney, just like they are avoiding Bud Light beer.

STAY UP TO DATE WITH NEW CARTOONS! SIGN UP FOR OUR GRRR-NEWS! IT’S EASY AND FREE!
Nobody wanted to see Disney’s “Strange World,” which featured a teenaged gay love story. Parents want their children entertained, not indoctrinated. That 2022 film lost Disney nearly 200 million dollars. Go woke; go broke.

Disney acquired successful companies including Lucasfilm, Pixar, and Marvel—but now, because of their woke agenda, they’ve turned those money-making franchises into money-hemorrhaging serial failures. Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, has earned the ire of both moviegoers and shareholders alike. (An exception may be the woke-pushing BlackRock, which owns over 6 percent of Disney). It’s time for Iger to abandon woke-ism and make films that families actually want to see.

Disney needs to keep politics, propaganda, and social engineering out of their movies. Right now they’re making Walt Disney spin in his grave.

It's not like every other cartoon in the thread isn't also about some headline or event. The Nib just puts the headline directly in it instead of having a character awkwardly standing around with an oversized newspaper in hand or whatever.

Also sending cluster munitions to Ukraine is kind of a big deal, not "whatever garbage headline".

It's not really a big deal if you know anything about the conflict. Which is to say that Russia already has been using cluster munitions regularly since 2014, and Ukraine has been to a much lesser extent. The ones we're sending Ukraine are less lovely then the ones they already have, which are old and are much more prone to failure. Russia already uses them regularly on Ukrainian civilians, so it's not like Biden not sending them will protect civilians from them.


I'm no fan of cluster munitions, but the headline makes it seem like neither side has cluster munitions nor use them already. That's why it's a garbage headline.

The new Indiana Jones movie completely crushed the competition at the box office, so did the Little Mermaid. The problem with the Indiana Jones movie is that it cost so much that it still failed to make much of a profit. And the trilogy has always had female characters that didn't like him. Marion punches him, Willie Scott constantly berates him and Elsa turns out to be a nazi that only faked liking him.

Having rights to an intelectual property, like say Little Mermaid or Dumbo, requires the holder to actually do something with it, else it becomes public domain. Disney wrote these laws to prey on dead authors for their stories without compensation, and as a consequence have to make new stories with their existing IPs.

Needing to keep IP active is trademark not copyright. And you don't need to make new movies to hang onto a trademark.

Copyright running out is on a fixed schedule. A new movie won't affect the old movie, and once the old movie is public domain people can use anything they want from it.

Yeah, but "genetically engineered" sounds less appetizing than "lab-grown", and I'm figuring Goodwyn is anti-lab meat, so he's going to go with the genetically engineered tag.
Though yeah, this one definitely hits closer to "Oops, I remembered to tell a joke"
