There's something ironic about Spooner tilting at windmills by referencing Cervantes. What bugs me is that he probably doesn't realize it.

SubG posted:I know he's an American political cartoonist, but for the rest of the world that uses metric what's this in Burj Khalifas full of tacos? The Burj Khalifa is very irregularly shaped and I couldn't find a direct estimate of its volume. I calculated it to be about 1,461,887 cubic meters, but could easily be off by a pretty significant margin. Tacos naturally vary quite a lot in size, but let's say that it's 0.000883 cubic meters (approximating it as a semicircle 15cm long and 5cm thick). Tacos tend to be a bit cheaper, so lets say that our Hypothetical Taco is about $5, so 1.46 trillion tacos. That means our tacos are taking up 1,289,180,000 cubic meters, filling up just under 882 Burj Khalifas

Also lmao at the idea that AUSUK means Australia is giving up any kind of independence. Almost your entire navy was built by foreign countries already and you have never had an independent defense policy either.

I mean yeah but it sure would be nice for Australia to one day come up with an alternative to handing over vast sums of money to other nations in return for no submarines. Also it might of been nice to have the option of a bit of distance from where the USA is going politically over the next few decades given the likely places it could go.

Given how keen he's been to hide his identity he probably raised hell with twitter to get it nuked, probably with the help of his fans I doubt twitter did it unilaterally and I doubt Elon himself intervened, but then again I wouldn't be terribly surprised to learn if he did

Yeah, I figured as much and did a Google Image Search for 'car keys', but didn't get that exact one. Guess it's due to our respective locations or something. It's clear what Gorrell was doing either way, because he does it every drat time. A.F. Branco  Chip Bok  Chris Britt  Kellies Nomination: Laziest Non-Gorrell. Not just because it's a speech bubble and some labels on a badly compressed image, but also because we're still two weeks out from Easter (three weeks if you're Orthodox).

I love how you can tell whenever Branco has a specific grievance to milk, and when he has forgotten about it and just goes back to "Donkey bad, make kill America".

Microplastics posted:I doubt twitter did it unilaterally and I doubt Elon himself intervened, but then again I wouldn't be terribly surprised to learn if he did I would say that there's no way he would intervene on behalf of such a nobody, but he can uh be surprising sometimes. Earlier this week, minor far right Flemish (former) politician Dries Van Langenhove was sentenced to a year in prison (I think he can still appeal), and Musk actually reacted. By saying 'whoa' and nothing else, but still. I decided to google 'Dries Van Langenhove cartoon' to make this post relevant and found a bunch of boomer-rear end cartoons linking meme to mémé (grandma) even though the two words sound nothing alike  'Dries Van Langenhove sentenced to a year in prison for right-wing meme' "And after I had asked you to stay at home!"

That last batch of cartoons got me thinking on how there's an enormous amount of reporting in the media on various problems and very few attempts by them to tell us the (real) causes of and solutions to these problems. Meanwhile, Last Week Tonight does exactly this and has had a deathgrip on whatever category it's in at the Emmys. Also, Bernie Sanders in general. Dude proved that with the right ideas, and a relentless desire to tell us the causes of and solutions to problems, you can at least fund a Presidential campaign off the backs of the not-wealthy. So... have they figured out that doing this more than once a week is more detrimental to them than the untapped goldmine of ratings they are aware exists? (what happened to Bernie is probably the answer to my own question come to think of it) The Islamic Shock fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Mar 14, 2024 |

Guavanaut posted:Read some Hume or something Stantis you hack. Reason is the horse to passion's driver. Emotions tell you how you feel and reason tells you what to do about it. Nobody is driven purely by either. (Also in a lot of cases their hearts desired to own a bunch of slaves while not feeling guilty.) I suspect similarly Stantis knows that the emotions behind his reasons are not for the public unfiltered.

It's difficult to articulate why I despise Prickly City so much, since theoretically it's inoffensive by design, but I think that's precisely it. Stantis projects this air of moral superiority, but there's no substance to what he feels morally superior about, he never says anything, he never takes a stand except to dismiss those who do, there's just nothing. There are words in his cartoons, but they're completely empty and hollow. His output is an entirely pointless waste of time. It's usually juxtaposed with the alcoholic duck, very similar in terms of decent art despite the blatant laziness, but even though I personally disagree with many of the things Fishman says, at least I understand the points he tries to make, and that there's an attempt at cleverness and humor, as perfunctory as it usually is. He's saying something, even if what he says is often stupid.

From its Wiki: quote:Across the TV airings, DVR, on-demand and HBO Go, Last Week Tonight averaged 4.1 million weekly viewers in its first season. In comparison, the CBS Evening News with Norah O'Donnell averaged 4.83 million total viewers for the 2022-'23 TV season; Blue Bloods, the #1 Friday primetime program has 9.54 million viewers. Last Week Tonight may have a huge number of Emmys, but that doesn't mean it's actually attractive to viewers and therefore advertisers because Pants Donkey posted:Because the answer tends to be “Capitalism”, and good luck getting that message on the air

So Prickly City doesn't even do that; it meanders gradually towards some political point, but just as it seems like it might begin to reach it, it immediately retreats to incredibly safe concepts like "it would be nice if people could be nice" or "sometimes politics sucks, doesn't it". It's like the creative team once got a nasty e-mail and are somehow still traumatized by it to this day. If you want to make some kind of political art, you need to have some kind of message, and Prickly City fails at that basic requirement almost all the time. Even Stonetoss has a (nazi) message it's trying to get across to you.

Being a 'centrist' does not have to mean you have nothing to say, and his cartoons come the closest to being vaguely interesting when they're clearly made from the perspective of a (presumably) lifelong Republican who hates Trump. There's a lot you can do with that, other cartoonists certainly have, comparatively speaking. The problem is that he rarely commits even to that perspective, instead it's usually this interminable, insufferable, vague bullshit about the state of modern political discourse, and how people should be nicer to each other, isn't humanity horrible, and so on.
