The traditional way of defunding the police.
A wild-haired man in a goldenrod, high-necked sweater and tweedish blazer stands with arms upraised in exuberant joy as the cop behind him in the massive wicker effigy is about to go up in flames.

You want it both ways. You want to continue to espouse terrible beliefs that hurt people unlike you and make life worse for a lot of people you don't know while retaining your current relationships with friends and family. But, like the hero of The Bible, Pontius Pilate, I'm washing my hands of you.

Here's some Kirby Thundarr the Barbarian. The art was pencilled by Jack and then likely colored by Ruby-Spears staff artists. Keen as hell.

Of the loss of control. Sadness is warranted, self reflection, moving on. Being available to amendment when/if the other party is ready. The moral/societal panic is an extension of the loss of control. Children, especially adult children, can do what they like, it’s a free fuckin country

Sang "Tear Me Down" at Karaoke last night and a guy came up and asked me who it was by. I was all, "It's from Hedwig and the Angry Inch." And he's all, "Yeah, but who performed it?" And I was all, "Hedwig?" And he was all, "Somebody had to perform it." And I was all, "Have you heard of musicals?"

All politics is just Overwatch when your team is losing and one guy decides to blame Tracer and then everybody else wipes the sweat from their brows that they weren't blamed and instantly agrees that Tracer is the problem. Meanwhile Tracer is 21 - 2 with loads of objective time.

Republicans be like: we may be looking down the barrel of economic collapse, our president is a child rapist who robs us blind every day and has not delivered on a single thing he promised, and I’m very disappointed in the job Trump has done, but I’d vote for him again. Malignant stupidity.

"A friend of mine reports that all the women he’s polled have been enthusiastic advocates of the bold romantic gesture, but this, he suspects, is because they’re all automatically picturing John Cusack making it, not Steve Buscemi or Peter Lorre or the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Often you don’t know whether you’re the hero of a romantic comedy or the villain on a Lifetime special until the restraining order arrives."
