He's obviously mocking said advice. Also as the son of a prominent optometrist I resent the notions presented!

Anyone who has not let go of the mistaken assumption that there is any way possible to represent progressive events and policies that won't have right wingers foaming at the mouth and screaming whatever slur or slur-replacement that recieved the most positive polling most recently really needs to let that go. Be gay, do crime, smoke weed and hail satan and pretend you don't see the conservative hit pieces telling you that the abuse being thrown at you is your fault and they'd treat you nicer if you were more polite.

Skios posted:Al Goodwyn This is a commentary on the whole gas stove thing, isn't it? Because we all know the government can only focus on one thing at a time. Also, the metaphor doesn't even make any sense. Is the fentenyl supposed to be the pan or the heat? The pan itself doesn't do anything without the heat. If it's the heat, then the government is apparently swapping out one thing of fentenyl for another? This deserves a Kellies Nomination, but I can't figure out which one.

logger posted:The countries the objects were looted from know exactly how the British Museum feels. That's honestly what makes things so galling. Whenever a former colonial state goes "Hey, can we have some of our stuff back?" one of the standard responses from museums is always "Well it's much safer when we keep these things in our basement. Could you imagine what would happen if you kept it in your ghastly countries?"

Clay Bennett This isn't an awful idea, but I feel like it would have worked better as a cartoon if he'd had a donkey holding the trophy or something along those lines rather than resorting to "The Democrats" as a label. Jeff Danziger  Lisa Benson  Jeff Stahler  Matt Davies  Pedro X. Molina  Ann Telnaes  Mike Smith  Kirk Walters  Jimmy Margulies  Ed Gamble  David M. Hitch  Mike Peters  Didn't someone else already do this exact cartoon? Carlos Latuff  Randall Enos - Happy Labor Day  Dave Whamond  Bill Bramhall  Adam Zyglis

 Pope:  Treasurer Jim Chalmers is releasing the Intergenerational Report today: Intergenerational Report: what we already know about the document that will shape Australia's next 40 years (ABC). Rowe:  Qantas has added designs in support for the Voice on their planes. Also they allowed Albanese's son into the Chairman's Lounge and stopped providing copies of the Australian Financial Review (the paper publishing this cartoon). Wilcox:  Leak, Son of Leak:  NAPLAN = National Assessment Program - Literacy And Numeracy. One in three school students not meeting numeracy and literacy expectations, NAPLAN results show (ABC). Albanese saying he won't read that is a reference to him saying he hasn't read the "full" Ulura Statement from the Heart, the true scary one that they don't want you to read.

When you say "do crime", I don't think you really mean "commit a mass shooting", or "deal cocaine to kids", or "commit sexual assault". But you don't explain what you mean at all. You just say "do crime". I believe that by "do crime" you really mean humanitarian things that the right-wing are criminalizing, liking helping a woman get abortion-related medical care if she needs it, or helping a trans person get the medical care they need. But you just say "do crime". It doesn't matter what you say on this dead comedy forum anyway, and no, nothing anyone says will ever make progressive policies appealing to the right wing. But if you're ever talking to a broader audience, and you just say "do crime", a lot of people who are neither on the left nor the right won't understand what you mean. The people who aren't on the left or the right will think you're actually advocating crime that hurts people, like murder or rape or armed robbery. You've given a micro-example of the overall point I was trying to make.

When you say "we shall overcome" I know you don't mean you're going to overcome your enemies like at Hindenburg Line and kill tens of thousands of people in an orgy of conquest until surrender or death stops you, I think you mean that you will triumph nonviolently over segregation and racism, but if you're ever talking to a broader audience who doesn't know what you mean, dangerous slogans like that are just hurting your own cause.

You just say "do crime". It's a good point. Despite what some people here obstinately refuse to acknowledge, political messaging does matter. And there is no doubt that the right is better at presenting simplistic slogans that emotionally resonate with low information voters than the left does. And if people say there is no left in the USA, fine. The GOP is better at it than the Democrats. Makes no difference with regard to your point. I'm not sure there is anything that can be done about it. The right feeds on simplicity and rigidity. The left tolerates ambiguity and understands that context matters. Slogans often hurt us, because the right can twist them easily (because they have no shame). Even something as clean as Black Lives Matter was twisted because it didn't formally say "Black Lives Also Matter." I got no solutions. predicto fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Aug 24, 2023 |

I vaguely recall this has been a consistent feature of Zyglis’s elephant men. edit: yep. He draws normal elephants normally, but he draws the tusk on the ele-men coming out at the cheekbone, so it's accurate relative to the trunk and nothing else.
