It feels genuinely ridiculous having to say this, but the point of art is to connect with another human. Someone thought of that painting or melodic line or scene or paragraph that is suddenly making you weep, and that means that they saw you and understood you without even meeting you.

Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.

Feels like twice a week I get notified that a new billion dollar class action lawsuit has settled, and that I am entitled to 5 dollars as a result At this point are we not just selling our data to Fortune 500 companies at a discount? This feels like a “feeding shelter cats to the coyotes” situation

Unironically the ruling class are just trying to recreate feudalism using AI. This is just "the peasants don't need to learn how to read or write when in reality the only skill they do need is knowing how to work the field. They have priests to rely on if they for whatever reason ever need to read"

TRANSCRIPT
Panel 1:
A woman and a man sit on a low stone wall in a park. The woman is upset; the man listens.

WOMAN: And now the Democrat in the race is backing some anti-trans laws! I’m not sure I can vote for that.

MAN (thinking): Uh-oh. Democrats need every vote. How can I convince her to vote for the Democrat anyway?

Panel 2:
The woman and man walk through the park, the woman ahead of him.

WOMAN: Of course, the Republican is even worse. But if Democrats turn against trans people… I’m so frightened.

MAN (thinking): I’ve got to be empathetic and persuasive.

Panel 3:
Close-up of the man, looking thoughtful with his hand on his chin.

WOMAN (off-panel): Look at what happened to the UK — they’ve now got two anti-trans parties. If we let that happen here, trans rights are dead.

MAN (thinking): Okay, I think I know how to reassure her and get her vote.

Panel 4:
The man is suddenly furious, leaning toward the startled woman and pointing at her.

MAN: You’re a Trump supporting moron and you deserve to die!

CHICKEN FAT WATCH
PANEL 1:
A good dog with a halo peers out a window. A hand sticks out of a hole in a tree holding a sign that says SEND CANDY.

PANEL 2:
Groucho peeks from behind some bushes. A poster nailed to a tree reads "Background gag to come and it'll be so funny!" A bad rabbit (we know it's bad because it's smoking) sits beside a bad worm (also smoking). A bottle lying in the grass is labeled "BARRY BEER" and has a disturbed-looking drawing of Barry. A mouse holds a knife to a cat; the cat raises its front paws in surrender.

PANEL 4:
A giant mouse (?) in a shirt and tie sits on the wall reading a newspaper, called "Daily Blah Blah," whose headline says "Literate Rodent Escapes Lab."

I loathe scalpers in any industry. When you intentionally try to make a product rare so you can drive prices up, you're a fucking vampire. Pokemon should be just as accessible to a kid walking into a store with his birthday money as to a private collector with an adult's income. This delights me.

Idea: Maybe we shouldn't be treating 7th grade girls volleyball like the Thunderdome? It's not just bad for the parents (who hate each other due to playing time) and culture (watch ESPN for ten seconds), it burns out the kids and makes them worse adults AND athletes. Sports are supposed to be fun!

When you reach a point where politics feel inaccessible and you give up on actual positive change a lot of people settle for inconsequential signifiers, consumer treats, slogans and speeches that just gift them catharsis and feed delusion, and the promise that the people you don’t like will suffer.
