Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children. Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. “Are you feeling all right?” I asked her. “I feel all sleepy,” she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.

Btw; just to break toxic fanboys brains: here is Gene Roddenberry literally saying he wished he had gay sex and wishing that he was nonbinary.

For some reason Calvin is telling Hobbes: "DEI initiatives were not put in place to ensure lower-qualified minorities could get hired instead of more highly-qualified white people, it was put in place to ensure lower-qualified white people were not hired instead of more highly-qualified minorities." It's a lovely color image of the two of them walking through a snowy landscape, so even though I don't really know why it was chosen to convey this particular message, I do appreciate the art.

“We must end gender ideology,” say the people who believe that heterosexuality should be enforced with state violence and that women should have the legal status of permanent children.

United we stand, divided we fall.
Political cartoon showing a line of dominos. The first one is labeled Trans Rights and has a blue-pink-white trans flag painted on it and is tilting. Three people (representing a trans man, trans woman, and person wearing rainbow colors) are pushing back to keep it from falling. Behind it the second domino is labeled "Gay Rights" and "Freedom of Expression" and has a couple, one member of who is pulling the other from behind the domino and walking towards the first domino. The 3rd one "Women's Rights" and "Free Love", a woman is pointing and shouting to rally others behind the domino to come forwards, the 4th one " Free Speech" and "Democracy" and has people peering out from behind it as well as two people running forwards with a piece of lumber, the 5th one "Freedom of Religion" and "Modernity", and has a few people nervously peeking out from behind it, the 6th one is "Literacy". Dominos 7-10 are unlabeled and faded out in the background. Text on bottom: "United we stand, Divided we fall"

You had me at “exceedingly dry in-jokes for recherché subcultures”
The meme of the dad and son from American Chopper arguing. Text: American Chopper memes are compelling rhetorical devices that could be taught in schools! They are impenetrable walls of text serving only as exceedingly dry in-jokes for the recherché subcultures already familiar with their subjects! They brilliantly employ American Chopper as a low-brow "carrier wave " to entice people to read about ideas they otherwise wouldn't! THEY HAVE NONE OF THE BREVITY AND ENERGY OF GOOD MEMES, AND THEY SUBSTITUTE FAUX-ACADEMIC LOGORRHEA FOR WIT! THIS IS THE ONLY MEME FORMAT THAT ACKNOWLEDGES THE EXISTENCE OF COMPETING INFORMATION, AND AS SUCH IT IS THE ONLY FORMAT SUITED TO THE COMPLEXITY OF OUR WORLD!

Skimming through the advance pdf of Deathmatch Island, and this is a great bit of player advice. The culturally embedded idea that your character will be a fucking clown 1 times in 20 cuts off so much more interesting possibilities.
"If You Failed, Use Your Confessional to Build Tension and Raise Stakes When describing a confessional for a failed roll, it’s easy to fall back on describing how your competitor messed up (tripping or missing or whiffing). Try to think beyond this first instinct—failure is a great chance to build tension and raise the stakes for the rest of the confessionals that follow. It’s like selling a fall in a wrestling match, you want to take the opportunity to hype up the opponent and make the match even more thrilling. Describe how capable and overwhelming the opposition is."
