Highly recommend anyone interested in modern middle eastern history to read this. Gives great insight on how the contemporary Shia-anti-USA bloc formed, as opposed to the many Sunni states collaborating with USA interests today.

Thank you so much for writing these, I read all of them and learned a lot of things not taught in typical western sources. Seriously, it was a great write-up.

Does Netanyahu not know that Shia Islam has a very strong tradition of venerating martyrs? Surely he understands that killing Nasrallah will cause an enormous wave of hatred that will last or decades. It seems really obvious now that Netanyahu is just going to keep killing people in Lebanon until they are forced to invade, and then he will call them the "aggressors" and force the USA to send boots on the ground to fight a "defensive" war.

This, but unironically. We need a Summoning Salt for Marxist theorists.

 

Yes, I am still Astro Boy posting. No, I will not stop until I finish reading the Dark Horse translated compendium.

Also, it will be interesting to see if Jimmy Carter outlives Biden.

 

Context: this guy was an artisan who carved art into grains of rice, but he was put out of business when a machine was invented who could defeat him in carving competitions.

 

Astro really is a zoomer, exploring his identity to find something that fits.

 

Don't know why but I found this panel funny.

Rime of the Ancient Mariner fucking slaps

Hell yes it does. Also I think it inspired the Mariner's Revenge Song by The Decemberists, which also slaps.

Kamala need to propose a mask ban, to appeal to the other side of the aisle. Yes, it will kill millions, but we're also close to turning Texas blue. paid-for-by-kamala-harris

Also, not that it matters, but a "DNA test" is not how you find out if someone has XX, XY, or XXY chromosomes. The word Rowling is looking for is "Karyotype." But hey, if she knew how gender science worked, she probably would not be a TERF.

Athlete: "I consent."

Olympics: "I consent."

It's the difference between:

Funny: If you feed white people spicy food they will die lmao

Not funny: I am actually glad that the opioid epidemic is happening! Please I want to see more overdoses in West Virginia!

Outside of the United States of Burgerland, this is not considered food, it is considered a war crime committed against your small intestines. Please just make some regular pasta then slice up a chunk of actual cheddar cheese or even shredded cheese to throw into the pasta, it tastes so much better than powdered cheese, trust me.

 

Reading trough Astro Boy now, I see why it is so foundational. Love Tezuka's sense of humor and poetic justice. And his art is both sharp and playful.

 

BROOKER: This is going to sound so tragic, but right now there’s a game called Balatro. It’s like poker, and it’s possibly the most addictive thing ever created. It’s currently on Nintendo Switch and Steam deck, but it’s going to be released on phones, and at that point I think humankind’s activity is going to drop about 25%. I play that in short bursts when I’m writing to reward myself. I do like Ghost of Tsushima and Dave the Diver too, but there’s loads more.

One of us.

 

Like, what if they made Dune but with snow instead of sand?

 

My favorite part of the song is when they insult Peter Theil for... being an immigrant. Yeah, apparently he was born in Germany and moved to Ohio when he was 1 year old. the-more-you-know

 

Getting harder and harder to tell who is real and who is AI. Not because the AI are getting smarter. The bar for the Turing Test just gets lower every day like the world's saddest limbo competition...

 

Stephen King is 76 years old.

Mueller, She Wrote died many moons ago.

Nearly dead liberals are fighting to the death over whether to support nearly dead liberals. The Democratic Party is less of a political party and more of a collection of the leftover "non political" flotsam and jetsam left over after the hurricane of neoliberalism wrecked American politics in the 1980s and 1990s. Posting on the internet should have a maximum age, beyond which you enter a quarantine zone.

 

The Buddha: Life is always full of suffering, so you should abandon the pursuit of wealth and enjoy the time you have.

Perfidious Albion and the Miserly Dutch: If you do not become wealthy it means that Jesus hates you and will send you to hell.

The name of the webcomic is "Webcomic Name," it's pretty good, like a simplified version of Pictures for Sad Childen.
