As a cloud of electrons, I agree to everything my electromagnetic field says. If it doesn’t want to go through that wall, we are not going through that wall.

For some reason, I feel like his stage name should be Baby Leroy.

Well… you know what they say: if Frodo can go to Osgiliath…

One step further back, very Orwellian, or even Kafkaesque.

Where Green?

This looks more 90s to me than 80s.

Then there’s the other type of brainwashed idiots, the kind who even after all that has been said and done in the past eight years, insist like a scratched CD on the divide-and-conquer propaganda (strongly pushed by the right) that bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe.

They insist on cherry-picked and distorted narratives, insist on a simplistic and stupid view, insist on some holy grail of perfection and purity test, waiting for some charismatic messiah figure with a magic political wand to fix things overnight.

In other words, they insist on some miracle godking figure that is the mirror image of what the orange shithead is to the maga crowd. And they will whip out a number of cherry-picked, out-of-context facts and figures to NOT lift a finger on Election Day. And these cherry-picked, out-of-context tidbits are enthusiastically and forcefully handed to them each day on a platter, pre-digested, by right-wing concern troll farms.

They are just as simple and stupid as the maga plague, and fancy themselves as smarter and savvier than everyone else.

Damn, that’s Bellotto’s best yet in this space, and there’s been more than a few of them, so that’s no faint praise.

The “Stressed” one should actually be something along the lines of “Cold-blooded cruel”, I remember that scene from Vampire’s Kiss.

Oh no, it’s nothing as introspective as that, it’s a much more lazy mindless stance than that, it’s just knee-jerk “They took [some thing] away from me!”

Just look at the guy… he’s carrying ALL of the Ace Hardware bling!

Dick pics or it didn’t happen!

Sorry, we don’t carry Taurus Dew, is Sinai Mist okay?

Show me you’re a bellicose asshole without saying you’re a bellicose asshole.

On the one hand, I find the Bronze Age in the Middle East fascinating, for it being the wobbly but ultimately successful dawn of civilization that persists to this day, the beginning of systematic record-keeping and writing that spawned many arts and sciences, the beginning of large-scale social infrastructure and international trade, etc.

On the other, I find that too much of Iron Age history in the Middle East is a mind-numbing succession of kings and wars and invasions, power struggles and pillaging and petty tyrants. This is when my eyes glaze over and drift towards the Mediterranean instead, towards Greece and Carthage.

I bet the judges will be grading on a curve

If that were so, some parts of us would be shrinking faster than the speed of light!
