That stork is clearly trying to choke that wolf, from the inside!
This is what happens when you overthink the simple act of voting, when you navel gaze for days and months any simple physical effort that requires your presence with intent. You distort what it is and how it works.
A vote nudges things towards a direction, it is NOT a magic political wand that fixes things overnight. Inertia builds up only with several election cycles of consistency.
One side is cruel and will constantly sabotage good faith whether in or out of majority power. “Good faith is for suckers” is their goddamned motto, just one in a ton of toxic ideas and knee-jerk anger and greedy gluttony. Television and internet has amplified these virulent tendencies.
Whoever decided to not vote is in a muddy mental hole and has participated through inaction in making things much worse and perilous for millions of vulnerable living beings.
I have lost my faith in the younger generations, they cannot cut through the bullshit, are actively being bombarded in bad faith messaging, and it fucking worked.
Good luck in weeding out fascists and bigots from your society now. Especially in the judicial branch, you get to keep those for life. You have stabbed yourself in the chest with a rusty knife and call it “purity”, you imbeciles.
IDS (Imminent Death Syndrome) puts us all in an awkward position.
He could go at any moment… he’s got entitilitus!
When he says “as famous as the Dodgers”, does he mean Cookie Lavagetto-level famous, or Van Mungo-level famous?
“My purity is a precious delicate flower, I’m not going to soil it by voting for Democrats. Palestinians can take comfort in that!”
“Why can’t my politicians mesmerize me every day? I don’t want no competent government nerds in Washington, I need to be mesmerized every day to muster up the precious energy to go and vote!”
I will never, EVER overestimate or respect the younger generations, who can vote and won’t. They have now shown themselves to be as ignorant stupid and heartless and fickle and impatient and lazy as medieval peasants.
They are just as fucked up as their baby boomer parents or grandparents who gave Reagan and his cadre of assholes the keys to the kingdom.
The compass… the circle.
Do you know what the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation is?
It is a giant spherical compass of light, 46.5 billion light years from the center (that’s us) to the edge.
And this compass keeps on expanding ever wider, at the speed of light, in fact.
THIS in my view is the circle being traced by God in the painting.
For a second or three there, I read that as:
When I was a kid,
a priest told me about Mars
And what did the working class do this election?
They gave the keys to the kingdom to the con men, and that includes the twitter and amazon assholes.
That’ll fix things! That’ll show 'em!
For a moment there, I thought the younger people of America had in them the capacity to do the obvious righteous thing, and to banish the demons once and for all.
The younger people of America have shown what they are made of, and never again will I overestimate them.
Because so many people in the United States have elected to stab themselves - and EVERYONE else along with them - with a rusty knife, out of ignorant rage and lazy ignorance.
Didn’t The French Connection also begin with cops in disguise, too?
I seem to remember it, but it also feels like my memory could be playing tricks on me.
Ron Howard’s voice: “He didn’t”.
It’s like baseball, for cars!
It’s almost like some people aren’t there to watch the movie at all?
What could they possibly do? What could teenagers do that they couldn’t do at home with mom and dad and little pest of a brother/sister?
Great, now I’m seeing “teim” and not “team”.
Which reminds me of Mexican 7-Up knockoff Teem, which used to be in all the taco stands decades ago. Whatever happened to Teem? One day it was gone and no one seemed to notice it. It disappeared and life carried right on.
Did it disappear right around the time Sprite started showing up everywhere? I can’t remember.
Anyway, there’s no “i” in Teem. Carry on!
Business Rabbit!
Executive Board Rabbit.
But… but… but that would mean… making an actual effort! Playing the long game! BO-RING!!!

Raised eyebrow - “Fascinating”
Of course I hope you are right, but if after the past decade and everything that has happened, that has been said, this election seems to be in a dead heat instead of Harris/Waltz winning by anything other than a landslide, I hold no illusions about the intelligence and decency of the “average” american voter, these people are already dead inside, or at least not too far removed from illiterate medieval peasants, easily dazzled by bullshit and god-kings with magic political wands… abraca-fucking-dabra.
Is this from one of those christian comics from the 60s-70s, or something? Chick tracts and christian Archie comics weren’t the only ones circulating in those days.
A thing that makes me chuckle:
Chick came up with a godless high school in a godless society, kids wearing t-shirts that said “Sex” o “Satan”.
Then in the late-80s, Nirvana leaned on that hard, one of their t-shirts read:
