i think friendslop as a term is soooo fucking funny. ironically mildly derogatory term for something that's only good because you are just doing it to hang out with your friends. im not saying it's a misnomer or anything in fact i think we need to broaden the concept to apply to a lot of non video game stuff retroactively. bowling is highkey friendslop

ot3
other notable examples of friendslop:
• bar trivia
• pontoon boats
• ouija boards

n the 1830s everyone in the USA knew that canal waterways were the future of commerce. Every state started building a canal network with the vision of hooking them all into a national network. In 1837 there was a Great Recession, and the tax base for the canal work collapsed. When the economy recovered 5 years later, the railroad boom was happening and everyone knew that canals were over.
That's why every city in the Midwest has a half-finished canal in it. This is a post about data centers

Strawberry economics
A four frames comics about how I can afford strawberries as a 34 year old adult. The first frame shows a bunch of gariguette strawberries in a box at the supermarket. The text reads: "STRAWBERRIES ON SALE". In the second frame I am holding the box of strawberries happily, saying "And I have enough money left to afford them!". In the third frame I am eating them and saying "Mmm a scrumptious treat...". In the fourth frame I am closing my eyes and thinking "The economy is very bad".

the Black Panthers were right
IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK 
JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS.
WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK.
AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS.
THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES.
IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

The image is a six panel black and white comic. 

Panel 1- A person sits at their desk, eating a bowl of ice cream. "It's Monday, I deserve a treat for the start of the work week."

Panel 2- The panel is a shot from inside a freezer, showing the same person opening it. "It's treat day Tuesday!"

Panel 3- The person is once again at their desk, on the computer screen it shows them clicking a button that says, "Add to cart" While the person says, "half-way through the week...Maybe I deserve a treat." 

Panel 4- The person is standing in front of some cookies with a sign that reads, "Cookies, Half off %" The person says, " Thursday and treat both start with T..."

Panel 5- The person is looking down at their credit card. "It's the end of the work week so maybe I should get a treat..."

Panel 6- The person is slamming the freezer door shut while saying, "It's the weekend, time to treat mysel-"
