Payne is a manbaby fan of cars. Like I say in the index, he has space on his blog for reviewing cars, and I guess he's something of a purist and wants BIG SPEEDY MUSCLE CARS and not hybrid cars for hippy girls.

Like this is stuff he posts

In fourth grade I had to write a persuasive essay for a standardized test. I hated the entire concept of it because i was a little poo poo and i ended up writing about how the pencil I was holding in my hand should be elected president. it was a garbage essay, but it was still a thousand times better than that

I'm not an artist, so are a lot of these people dating themselves by showing cartoons with literal drawing boards? I imagine every cartoonist around the age of Bors (late 20s/early 30s) is using a tablet.

Just an observation. I have no idea if "traditional" methods are on their way out or not.

drawing a cintiq sitting on a table with a computer next to it is way more complicated than drawing a big square

Ultimately, it is about robbing these symbols of their power by showing exactly how absurd they are and turn them from common wisdom to an obviously ridiculous prejudice.

While I agree w/ everything you posted I think there's something to be said about who is creating the satire and what they're using as a means to that end. Going back to the Boko Haram one, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth that a bunch of white people are lampooning another bunch of white people, and they're using a bunch of african rape victims as a prop to do so

So this mid-70's National Lampoon article by PJ O'Rourke entitled Foreigners around the World popped up on imgur. Kind of interesting to look at in light of Charlie Hebdo's content because it's more obvious (to me anyways) that the over-the-top racist jokes and cartoons are aimed at satirizing racist/xenophobic views in America. But I think that goes back to the idea of having to place satire in the context of the culture that's producing it, which is why Americans are struggling to interpret some of Charlie Hebdo's stuff.

considering o'rourke would go on to a lucrative career of being the al franken of reagan republicans I'm hesitant to agree

I don't think you understand just how far up their own asses genuine 100% dedicated Nazis like the SS were. They had all sorts of like pseudo-religious and pseudo-philosophical poo poo going on. Iron Pill is basically Thule Society level occult belief.

There's that, and there's also an element of adopting internet feminist rhetoric combined with modern chan-speak. You take the "I spermjacked 20 dudes and collected their male tears for the femperial bath" and combine it with [url="https://"http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/spaghetti-stories"]spaghetti[/url] and this and you end up with that stuff.

If anyone hasn't read the article, Omar's premise is essentially trying very hard to deliver sick burns to Tumblr-style SJWs. He ironically uses "cis-gendered white male" like five times. None of it is particularly funny.

if the dayton newspaper employed a political cartoonist, it would show dayton's commitment to arts and culture, and would attract people from far and wide to it's amazing marvels, quickly becoming a city to rival paris or berlin

Funny thing is, Dayton Daily News still have their cartoonist on-staff (Mike Peters)

well, there's the problem, it's not the right cartoonist.

Yeah. Like, I know it's Ted Rall and everything, but I was able to read the entire thing and not be confused. The whole thing was actually rather clear and coherent.

to stop hating so much, revitalization efforts like the ones he mentioned are effective, but they are supplementary, and might not even be possible anymore(how many of those buildings have asbestos in them?). As much as I love them, there's only so many hipster bars and restaurants built into hundred year old buildings that a city can support without an economic base to it, and dayton's seriously lacking one. There's no manufacturing to pay for all that stuff anymore, and abandoned buildings do rapidly become blight. The only way to "save" dayton would be to force everyone to move in to the same area, and then bulldoze everything else to make the city appropriately sized for it's population.

I've noticed that. I think they have to scramble for some justification for their opposition to most of the things that make life for disabled people possible so they often go with the "these people are scum" approach. It's pretty vile stuff.

I've never seen that. I've known some radical eco-whatevers in my time, but they were never, like, explicitly anti-disabled. They just sort of trailed off when anyone brings up how people who aren't able bodied are going to live in our pseudoagrarian wonderland

Texans fly the Texan flag every day; flying the US flag is a more occasional concession.

EDIT: for reals though, I've never lived in any state where non-governmental people used their state flag so much, and I've lived in about a dozen states. Washington DC takes a distant second, but that's partially because we have a badass flag and also a huge chunk of the city just moved here in the last few years and has a desperate need to show their DC-ness as quickly as possible.

I knew a dude growing up who flew all six flags of texas and the city seal on a flag. Dude loved flags.

It also helps that texas is tied for best flag of any state with new mexico, so that contributes to people liking flags here

re: transit racism.
This sounds like it would be a thing that affects property values, the one thing that suburban baby boomers will never ever shut up about? If so it seems hella backwards, I would gladly pay more to live next to transit access. Then again I guess I'm a na�ve urban twenty-something hipster or whatever

IIRC there was a plan in seattle to basically have the train not stop in poor neighborhoods. Like there would be a bunch of stations in the affluent suburbs, a bunch of stations in the yuppie arty coffee shop districts, and then like a ten minute segment where it just cruised through poor black neighborhoods.

I could be totally wrong because I'm only half remembering this
