I've been playing Dogpile recently (late to the boat, I know) and I really enjoyed it, done all the achievements, and now I've been going through and playing through all the decks on a harder difficulty. The hardest deck by far is suitably named "The Means of Production."

I love yosemite sam's mean little pony from bugs bunny rides again. look at him. just as ornery and bloodthirsty as his owner.

a picture of yosemite sam sitting on a cream colored pony with spots. its cruel grin mirrors that of his owner, a member of the glanton gang

Today's Please Forgive Me!!! Comic is about Tolerance. Tolerance is Patience's cousin from Wisconsin.

The gang hangs out in the parking lot of "Ricky's food trough and Grille," a sit down family style restaurant.
TRISSSH: Alright, let's get supper. How about ricky's? My Treat.
EVERYBODY: RICKY'S FOOD TROUGH AND GRILLE???
TRISSSH: Yeah.

Trisssh goes to talk to the host.
TUBSY: Man, it's been so long, I've been CRAVING a loaf of their ultimate loaded triple bacon nacho bites.
ALLY: Would Trisssh be mad if I got two pizza steaks?

Trisssh comes back. Everybody is surprised by what she has to say.
TRISSSH: Sorry, Sorry, change of plans. Ricky's racist.
PASQUALO: ...What's up?
TRISSSH: Monsters aren't welcome in his "Trough" apparently. How does thai food sound to you guys?

Everybody goes to comfort Trisssh, who looks annoyed.
ALLY: Oh my god!
PASQUALO: I'm so sorry Trisssh.
TROIKA: Tie food sounds scary!
Patience bonks Troika on the head.
PATIENCE: Oh my god, read the room, kid.

can you tell me, is this a fake watermelon in horse feathers (1932), or do watermelons just look that way in black and white, or watermelons just looked that way in the thirties, or is this some kind of other melon that fell out of favor, perhaps the fabled "hitler melon"

a scene in horse feathers where a professor holds a watermlon. groucho says "well, all you need now is a bowl of cherries."

look at where that fucking salt is and look how fucking big it is. why is there a single cherry tomato in the background. does that represent ketchup? this is some artsy "deconstruction" of french fries isnt it?

the wikipedia image of french fries seasoned with salt, where the salt isnt on the fries, is way too coarse, and theres a tiny tomato in the background for some reason. bizarre image.

Carlo Ginzburg really organizes this good good book in a compelling way, going from talking about abstract ideas in menocchio's cosmology and the older traditions it may borrow from, to examining the man personally.

Apparently, Menocchio hadn’t wanted to confide even in his wife and children: “God forbid that they should have had such opinions.” Despite all his ties to the village, he must have felt very much alone: “That night,” he admitted, “when the father inquisitor told me ‘Come away tomorrow to Maniago’ I was almost beside myself, and I wanted to go out and cause some harm … I wanted to kill priests and set fire to churches and do something crazy: but because of my two little children, I restrained myself. …” This outburst of powerless desperation speaks eloquently about his isolation. In the face of the injustice afflicting him, his only reaction was one that he had suppressed instantly, that of individual violence: to revenge himself on his persecutors, lash out against the symbols of the oppression, and become an outlaw. A generation before, the peasants had set fire to the castles of the Friulian nobility. But times had changed.

Please Forgive Me!!! today is about Podiums. just about the classiest way you can store your speech notes an appropriate distance from your eyeballs. What a spectacular invention. "What will they think of next." art by @gobolatula.bsky.social read at plz4give.me

Mayor Shumway is dripping nervous sweat at a podium. Offscreen protestors chant "War! War! That's no good! Instead let's eat some tasty Fud!" (but with an umlaut over the u)
Mayor Shumway says "Ha ha... of course, the right to protest is, er... one of the most vital parts of our democracy. And I would never dream of suppressing that!"

Shumway covers his mic and orders terry to "fucking do some suppressing already!?" Terry says "on it."

Terry saunters up to the podium and calls out to the two protestors he recognizes, Eliza and Pasqualo. "Eliza! Pasqualo! Hi Ladies! Stop providing succor to the enemy! you're gonna get innocent humans killed!"

off screen the ladies shout,
ELIZA: "Succor a fat turd, Terry!"
PASQUALO: "Yeah! the pinewolves aren't any enemies of mine!"

Terry (not making any effort on covering up the microphone) says to a visibly unimpressed Mayor Shumway that, "Wow I did NOT expect them to be so eloquent. Did you hear that turd line? Outta nowhere, man..."

Today's Please Forgive Me!!! Comic is about tearful reunions. Great cure for boredom, tearful reunions. You got nothing better to do on a Tuesday afternoon, try a tearful reunion. Art by @gobolatula.bsky.social, words by me. Read all our comics at plz4give.me !!

Patience suggests: "...so should we just kill the mayor?"
Trisssh snaps her fingers and points at Patience in assent to her idea. Katie sternly says Patience's name.

Tubsy enters the room, followed by a goofy, furry young man.
Tubsy: Ah okay, here you are.
Everybody: Tubsy!!

Ally runs into Tubsy's arms, squealing in joy.
Pasqualo: Wait, weren't you gonna be hunting bigfoot with your uncle all summer?

Ally is in Tubsy's arms, kissing him on the cheek. The furry lad is screaming.
Tubsy: I dunno, probably. But then I caught news about what happened with the phanatic statue, so I had to rush home right away.
Furry Child: Ah. Ah AHHH! AHHWWOOO-OWWW! AHOW AWWOWW AHHH!! AAHHHHHHHHH!!!
Tubsy: My cousin wants to know where the bathroom is.

Please Forgive Me!!! We're back with Chapter 24, titled "It Hurts!!" This is a long one, as always you can read it on the website: plz4give.me art by @gobolatula.bsky.social

The panel has rounded edges like an old school monitor or television. It is showing a news debate show featuring Pasqualo, dressed in a woman’s suit with 80s style giant shoulder pads. She’s also got makeup on, applied with an amateur’s hand. She’s trying to look “professional.”
OFFSCREEN VOICE: Are you seriously claiming that the pinewolves AREN’T responsible for the attack on the memorial?
PASQUALO: What? No, of course not. I’m saying that the attack was a measured retaliation for repeated violations in their sovereignty—
VOICE:—oh come on, Miss Trianglini—

Pasqualo continues to speak through the interruptions.
PASQUALO: —CULMINATING, excuse me, culminating, in an act of, of... chemical warfare upon the forest, the consequences of which are still unknown—!
VOICE: A harmless celebratory green smoke, the kind you’d find at any half-decent St. Patrick’s day celebration in the world. Or Snoop Dog’s limousine! Get it? Can I get a retake on that?

Pasqualo is annoyed but continues.
PASQUALO: ...So they say. The point is this was an act of self defense, an assertion of their authority in the face of naked aggression on our part, and frankly they showed great restraint in sparing everybody’s lives.

We turn to reveal the host. He’s a conservatively dressed white guy.
HOST: Well we can thank god for that, that nobody lost their life.
VOICE: Ha! Ridiculous...

Selaco is so fuckin good guys

a screenshot from the video game Selaco. the player character, Dawn Collins is holding a sci-fi rifle as she stands in the middle of a recently abandoned future mall. the ceiling glass has shattered and artificially generated rain is falling on the tile. a visual effect mimics the appearance of rain on the "lens" of the players viewpoint. the game is running on a modified form of GZDoom.
