This quote is engraved on a polished stone wall surrounding the memorial, that side of the statue has the words “Out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope” Gets a slight pass because that is a quote that appears in the memorial and framing it’s location wouldn’t work well since you would be facing away from the recognizable statue. It’s an artistic reinterpretation over slapping vague shapes of landmarks wherever. (Also technically not a statue but an engraving on stone but I could spend several posts talking about this stuff again.)

It's not particularly complex and almost seems like an accident to have hawkish attitudes destroy the concept of love, but the bar is so low this comic is one of the few with something to actually say of this whole ordeal

I think the clash between chiding youthes for having kids they cannot afford vs the youthes not having enough kids is mostly a function of assuming the chiding is advise for the youthes to follow. Our economy and society depends not just on having a certain birth rate but having an underclass of financially struggling people. Any system of morality or empathy will seek to ease the suffering of the financially struggling underclass, which would diminish the power and profits of those who profit from them existing. Folks in power can keep folks from empathizing with these parents by blaming their individual situation and keep attention away from the system as a whole. It’s not a contradiction, it’s the “advise” existing not to help the parents but to make others not care for the struggle they do to support society.

In the face of an unavoidable tragedy there is emotional value in thinking of the deceased in a more positive light. It can help a lotta people break out of a mental spiral of grief. In the face of an avoidable tragedy it reveals how little the person saying it cares about you. The distraction is not in service of helping a living human being process grief but to get them doing nothing about preventing future tragedies. The cause of the tragedy is more important to such a person than the lives lost and people destroyed.

There is a political cartoon from a few years ago. Single panel, setup is folks boarding a plane and a stewardess asks a young adult passenger to turn their cell phone off. Old dude smugly asks if he has to turn his device off too, a book in his hands. I tried looking it up but my search engine skills can’t find it with what I remember. Anybody remember it?

Bonus hazard: neighbors calling the city for a formal complaint if the bins are out too long. Too long being the space of time between the city picking up the bins contents and you coming home from work in the evening.

A combination of “this is just the first step, just you wait with this loose thread tugged the whole Biden crime conspiracy will be revealed” and “The Biden crime family forced the FBI to charge Hunter with minor crimes instead of the legit big bad crimes, covering those over. According to me, Law Knower, this will render Hunter immune to further charges of Treason unless Trump gets back in the Whitehouse”

Angepain posted:"That would be a pretty standard stop for a tour of Washington DC, yes." That section of First Street NE is such a pain in the rear end to drive busses through due to half the roads around those congressional buildings being closed to through traffic. To actually take a group there involves stopping a few blocks away and walking over. A geographical reality reflecting the political isolation of the court from everyday Americans.

Pants Donkey posted:I hate to say it, but you could replace 90% of the political cartoonists with AI and nobody would notice. You will never get a program to spit out an image of a white void with the text “reasons to not switch to algorithmic art for political cartoons” Maybe when you start poisoning the models by feeding it’s own output back into itself.

We must strive for numbers that take up less physical space, like 1 and 7, instead of numbers that take up a lot of space, like 8 and 0, in order to minimize the number of tormented souls trapped in the signs

Guavanaut posted:It's a reference to the WEF wanting us to eat bugs, which is bad because it's different. The bug protein thing will occasionally get a crank talking about health/nutritional effects, but by and large the cranks are into the idea of it being a disrespectful gesture. The big offense is a lesser diminishing you by ordering you to eat bugs. Strategically nothing concrete is happening, but conservatives these sorta weird power plays are the most important thing to focus on.

I'm not terribly well read in the Yes/No situation in Australia. From lightly looking into it it's a referendum on whether to let aboriginal people have representation in government or not? And the message of this comic is pro Yes people are actually secretly militants seeking to forcefully take over the government with this? Or am I missing some details from this Kelly's nomination for not even concealed bigotry?

I'm not the most informed on every story going on around the current conflict. I'm assuming every time a conservative source talks about the Rise Of Antisemitism it's 100% talking about protests against the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and phrases like 'jewish residents need to be careful, they are not safe with all the antisemitism flaring up' is entirely concern trolling while ignoring the message of the protestors right? Is there a reliable source on antisemitism being a suddenly growing problem outside of this deliberately manipulative propaganda?

There is a certain value in presenting an oversimplified example of one aspect going on in a situation to penetrate folk’s thinking. Folks here being children learning a concept for the first time and adults stuck in a rigid frame of thought. For many who are fixated on the Israel messaging of having to strike back or be exterminated there is value to being very clear on how cycles of violence don’t stop. Even if this concept is communicated without important facts of the situation we are all dancing around. I don’t think this does a great job of the important task of getting rigid thought adults to consider their position though. Their position was achieved by their media shoveling on and reinforcing a bunch of weak arguments. Considering cycles of violence is ignored for another half-reasoned point they have rattling around.

Vib Rib posted:So ignoring the historical inaccuracies, and focusing instead on how Lester is using Eratosthenes to essentially be any scientist in the vein of Galileo, what we have here is a comic about someone bringing up new, data-backed information that challenges the (often religious) dogma of the moneyed and ruling class who have a vested interest in keeping things running as they always have been. In this specific case the oldest attempt at covering for fossil fuel companies is accusing those who want to do something about the environment having investments in green technology and are just doing this to drive customers and government funds to companies that line their pockets. That any words about having higher ideals are attempts at deception it's all greed and you are super smart for seeing through their ruse. No particular defense of fossil fuel companies, just painting the moral failing of an opposition trying to manipulate you. How much of any individual persons conservative position is moral outrage of somebody trying to be deceptive and how much is preserving a feeling of being clever enough to see through a ruse is variable.

I know companies chasing algorithmic content is a hell trend of this year, but it seems like a helluva lot of reference to it in politoons for a general trend. Is there a recent bunch of notable stories on ai technology? Politoons thinking over trends of the previous year? Just a fun concept to convey in a visual medium?
