It should be noted that it was in the 70s and almost hit 80 degrees a few times for nearly all of December here in Virginia, which as I've said before is completely and utterly unprecedented.

I was going to mention this.

We used to get a few days of snow, and now we’re lucky to get one day with enough snow to disrupt anything. It was so hot the day before that the snow couldn’t even accumulate on the ground. But hey, it snowed a single day in Virginia, so clearly global warming is false.

Meanwhile, here in Colorado, we've had about an inch of measurable snowfall since last winter. Almost every day we see record breaking high temperatures. We're already on track to have an extreme drought in the summer because we depend on snowmelt for water so much. Oh yeah, and the wildfire that burned down hundreds of homes. A wildfire in the middle of winter.

But yeah, it's cold in Virginia so there's no global warming.

quote:

Ted Cruz to Michael Dukakis, “Hold my beer”

Senator Ted Cruz denounced the January 6 protest at the Capitol as a ‘violent terror attack.’ Therefore he must also see Trump supporters as terrorists. Tucker Carlson called out Cruz on his statement and Cruz immediately went into damage control mode. He said his phrasing was sloppy and he wasn’t calling thousands of peaceful protestors supporting Donald Trump terrorists. Who were the terrorists, then? Nobody was armed except for the guards and one of them murdered Ashlee Babbitt. Most of the protestors shuffled peacefully through the building and then left.

This kind of waffling displayed by Cruz makes it worse. He says whatever is advantageous to him in the moment. In the past I have been charitable to Ted in some of my cartoons, but now I consider him in the same league with Lindsay Graham.

Cruz wants to run for president again and he wants Trump out of the way. Therefore, he helped the Democrats with their ‘insurrection’ narrative and how it was supposedly instigated by President Trump. That way Trump can be banned from seeking office by means of the 14th Amendment. This would open the door for Cruz, but he forgot he would have to get a lot of votes from Trump supporters. He won’t be getting mine.

In this part of Virginia we haven't gotten a good snow in years, most of the time we'll get a couple of inches overnight and it'll be nearly all melted by noon the next day. And even those snows have been getting less frequent over time.

Also in this part of VA we were under a burn ban for a while because we hadn't gotten any rain in over a month, which is kind of crazy too. I'm used to summer not having any rain, but fall and winter is usually when we get most rain here. We were in severe drought which I can't remember happening much if at all before. There's a bridge in town that goes over the Dan River, and for about half the year last year, there was a large sandbar in it because the river had gotten so low. I don't remember ever seeing a sandbar in the Dan River when I was a kid, and now it's there so much that it actually feels weird when it's gone.

No see the Trump supporters just stood around in the Capitol building going "What is this place, why are we here, we have no idea what to do!" it was the BLM/Antifa folks who broke windows and stole podiums and carried zip ties to restrain members of Congress with. This is why Ashlee Babbit is a murder victim, because she was just confused and scared and didn't know what was going on and wasn't doing anything except standing around, and the police shot her for no reason.

4th: Evil for saying the Very Fake riot was bad

Imagine only just now realizing Cruz’s loyalty is wholly self-serving. In 2022. Also why the gently caress would you vote in another rigged presidential election, Ben? At least pretend to not vote to maintain this bullshit that you can’t even weakly commit to as being real.

Color me surprised, the 2021 storyline was wrapped up before February! Still not really sure what the point of it was, or what it was trying to say. 2020 was raised by a cold and neglectful corporation, and that year sucked. Meanwhile, 2021 was raised by loving and God fearing Republican parents, and that year ended up sucking too. I guess the moral here is that things are going to suck regardless of how the personification of time is treated? How are we supposed to apply THAT lesson to our daily lives? Well, at least those escaped demons look like they're having fun.

It's funny because if the man squad or whatever hadn't broken into the prison to rescue someone who was going to die in an hour anyway then the "mostly peaceful stampede" (gently caress you Ishida) wouldn't have happened. It almost feels intentional but it probably isn't since rescuing 2021 is a Good Thing in Ishida's mind I'm sure, especially since they also ended up rescuing the TERF lady.

It's Twitter prison, which is bad, because Twitter is bad, and everyone in there doesn't deserve to be, because Twitter are fascists, but the people in there are bad, because they're devils, and when they get let out, they riot and loot, which is bad, but the media, who is also social media, are saying the looting and rioting isn't bad and the people doing it aren't bad people, but they are, except for the ones who aren't, but the ones who violently broke out are good, because they beat up the cops, who are bad, who imprisoned the devil looters, who are bad

Sinfest doesn’t make sense is the answer. It constantly loses track of its own plot points outside of right wing and TERF bullshit. Like no one knows, or is supposed to know, 2021 is Lady Time and all these people have met her at various times throughout the year yet somehow they A) all know it’s her and B) seem to just accept she’s aged from a child to a dying old woman in the span of a year

Also the prison is a political prison for cis women who have spoken out against the "woke" narrative, and is therefore obviously called she/her penitentiary and is populated by she/hers because "woke" language is a big clownshoes mess that refuses common sense definition of things.

Except we obviously do have a term for people who go by she/her pronouns. They're called "women." Anyone you would comfortably refer to by she/her you'd also comfortably refer to as a woman. TERFs reject trans women being allowed to be called women and going by feminine pronouns, but those two things are kind of a package deal.

I know that if you were capable of considering things for more than two seconds you wouldn't be a TERF, but it still bothers me when they output poo poo with this little thought put into it.

The protagonists not only caused that stampede themselves, they were part of it! But ultimately "it's fine when we do it" and all those other people breaking out of prison don't deserve it. The media then falls over itself painting them as victims, even though that same media put them there in the first place.

Is Ishida going to have the 2022 center around…2022 like the last two years? They seem like they’re set as major arcs but never go anywhere, which I guess isn’t surprising given they were originally gag strips that ran for like two weeks tops.

In 2020, she was held by the Devil and used as a corporate mascot…but 2020 sucked IRL so Ishida translated this into his comic as sexism? Either way, she wasn’t all that useful as an ad lady, but the Devil still wanted her because…?

Well, she has time powers, randomly stopping a fight between the Woke and MAGA Boys by turning them all into babies. Well, temporarily, except Uncle Sam who was kept young by Devil medicine? 2021 also showed this power like once, and you’d think that would be a far more compelling reason for Satan to want to capture her, but it never gets brought up.

And 2021 is raised by another family, but nothing happens. She gets arrested and dies right as she’s freed. We get this Sunday strip of her family, but they haven’t been focused on since the summer. Dad has been in that hospital with Mom for like six months. If Satan owns the prisons then why did he imprison 2021 if he wanted her for his schemes? Hell, the prison is supposed to be a hamfisted metaphor for social media, but she’s in there for real world crimes. It’s such a mess.

The lack of any improvement to the writing year after year is so odd. He wants these annual arcs, but then get distracted by telling us that vaccines are bad for two weeks, or he falls in love with a one-off joke and we get Woker comics for a month because isn’t that funny!? It rhymes with Joker!

Is 2022 going to be raised by the Sisterhood this year, and we get a TERF 2022 that stays in her 20s for like half the year until she magically becomes old (read: gets a few eye wrinkles and grey hair) in September? Cannot wait for the Supreme Court to outlaw abortion in June and Ishida just has 2022 yelling about how pronouns are bad.
