I was wondering where that Palin expression came from, because I recognized it from something I saw in the past, maybe a goon has it as an avatar or something.

It's goon and cat-haver Trig Discipline's avatar, I am also now glad to know the source cuz it's hilarious.

I've really delighted in using the data from this site to refute the whole (ridiculous, identity politics / us v. them party pile-on) idea that ILLEGAL MEASLES are causing problems. Particularly when people specifically call out "porous borders". I'm sure the point has been made a few times in various threads here but :ssh: Mexico AND Canada have higher vaccine coverage than the USA.

This is amazing. I need to start reading self-insert fiction more often.

It's pretty incredible how it devolves across the course of the books too, it's super generic for a few hundred pages, and you hit this long slope into... It's just atrocious.

Also don't loving read it I am still upset that I wasted the time to even make it to like book five

Also just a staggeringly bad cartoon visually, progress and protagonist action is represented left to right usually. Yet again, Branco lives up to his rep as the stupidest cartoonist

There's been a lot of huff over this but frankly A) it "moved to HBO" with everything being broadcast nine months later on PBS anyway and B) It would not have been made any more if HBO hadn't funded it.

The number TWELVE or say the concept of sharing doesn't age out of relevance. It literally does not matter if kids see the brand newest episode immediately because you could show them a Sesame Street from 1984 and it would still be pertinent. Target audience doesn't care, material doesn't age, taxpayers didn't want to fund CTW, this is a win win win that is only distasteful at the most superficial "Rah rah privatization bad" level.

If re-runs aren't still available on PBS or whatever, then I'd say it's a bigger issue but I haven't seen anything about retention of prior material or exclusivity/syndication involved in the deal.

The problem is, though, that PBS's one last shield against getting completely gutted by the GOP (well, moreso than they already have, it's one of the major factors driving my father out of the business) has always been Sesame Street (well, since Fred Rogers passed, but that's beside the point), because no politician wants to be known as the guy who killed Big Bird. Basically, this means PBS is really in the crosshairs now.

Basically



but with puppets and less financial impropriety.

Hmm I hadn't thought of this but it totally makes sense. Starving the beast works really well!

I refuse to believe that there exist adults who couldn't do this. At least Roe v. Wade, Brown v. Board of Education, Plessy v. Ferguson, The Dredd Scott decision, Bush v. Gore, Citizens United.

Like all of those cases are brought up all the time in political discussion. Maybe they wouldn't realize those are Supreme Court cases, but I'm sure they've heard of them.

E: Like maybe recently naturalized citizens, but they'd be more likely having gone through the citizenship test.

I have had an encounter in the wild:

I was recruited by my family in law to be a table filler at a dinner thrown by the Manhattan Institute (a terrible libertarian think tank that for some reason supports some relatively progressive social justice orgs that fall into the family fund's wheelhouse) and went in expecting the worst.

The first drat person I chatted with was a very nice middle aged woman who was there to research how she too could... I guess contribute to tangentially libertarian social justice work and after a few seconds she asks, verbatim, "Oh are you familiar with many political cartoons?"

And she says "I'm working on organizing a Pulitzer Prize winner (Deep breath of anticipation on my end) doing a lecture tour in the Carolinas, are you familiar with Michael Ramirez?" She pulls out a flier with this classic piece of poo poo in full color



And says "I just think he's so insightful," Flier has some words about ol' Mikey's lecture series or something, and she asks "Wouldn't this be great at places like UNC or Duke?"

At which point the program started so my ability to bite my tongue was not even further taxed. These people are real, and strong, and they are not my loving friends.

Counterpoint if you have to deal with that person again: there's nothing libertarian about that comic. As far as I know, Ramirez is in no way libertarian. At the very least, the libertarian subreddit is no fan of his https://www.reddit.com/r/Libertarian/comments/2r9njh/top_10_editorial_cartoons_of_2014_best_of_michael/

Yeah, I will never have to though because even the people who got us involved / bought tickets were like "hmmmm how about NEVER AGAIN"
