The image is a six panel black and white comic

Panel 1- A small child is being told "You'll want kids when you're older!" The child responds with "I don't think so..."

Panel 2- The same child, now a teenager, is being told, "You'll change your mind when you're older." To which the teen responds, "I doubt that"

Panel 3- Now an adult, someone off screen asks them, "Aren't you thinking of having kids?" To which they respond, "Nope"

Panel 4- The same person, an older adult now, is being told, "better have kids soon, or it'll be too late!" to which they respond, "That's fine"

Panel 5- Now elderly, they are once again asked "Don't you feel like you missed out?" to which they say, "Still nope."

Panel 6- They are now in their death bed, clearly close to death. The nurse says, "Shame you didn't have kids, don't you regret it?" To which the person says "You know what just kill me already"

Bro, they're forcing me to start a podcast to promote my standup

"Shows aren't enough anymore"

Why can't I just do the thing I am doing, why does everything need an extra lil performance

Think I joined the bad guys by accident. They're telling me to stand next to red barrels marked as highly explosive

Ah so maybe the “depictions of fictional violence is the same as real violence” people and “ChatGPT should have personhood” people are maybe the same type of people

The general consensus is it's very disappointing and every character story, except Odysseus, is a nothing burger

George Orwell sucks part 3

- BBC fund both Animal Farm and 1984, both intended as criticism of Russia
- in 1949 creates list of potential communist threats for the UK gov and the CIA

The most famous anti-surveillance author is himself part of the propaganda machine that discourages dissent

George Orwell sucks part 2

- starts working for the BBC, first makes anti-nazi propaganda, then anti-communism propaganda
- 1940 review of the Mein Kampf (paraphrasing): I know I should kill him, but I can't bring myself to dislike him. He's pathetic in a very endearing way
