I hope she retires after suing Walmart for millions.

Ted Knight really crushed this role

I also don’t want a video because I can READ a helluva lot faster than it takes to watch a video.

I can also reference back to WRITTEN information much faster. Everything about shifting from written medium to video is about commodifying content, rather than a better exchange of information. And it sucks.

The word you wanted there was “rapport.”

The details in this comic are superb

Agreed.

Fyi, it’s *whittling

Especially ironic in San Diego, where literally anywhere in the city is a mere 15 minute drive to the Mexican border.

San Diego is full of the wildly entitled and elderly though, so the self-selecting personalities can’t be a surprise for anyone who has lived there.

The majority of our populace reads at roughly a 5th grade level. Now add a coefficient of technology divide.

Education is a long-haul strategy, and the right wingers have been destroying it for at least 40 years. There’s no way to quickly turn that around.

13 year olds are not adults, so why would the book be in an adult section anyway?

Of course, all of this is an obvious smokescreen for right wingers lashing out at anything they deem as intolerable.

There will never be a union between the educated and tolerant, and people who align themselves with right-wing authoritarian rhetoric.

Take it over? From the people who control the entirety of every process and have a finger on every level?

Your optimism is not matched by an understanding of how things actually work. The Democratic party is private; it’s essentially a club. Which means that the party dictates which funding goes to whom, and which candidates are allowed to campaign for specific posts. It’s the opposite of democracy.

When AOC started making waves, Pelosi, that fucking corrupt dinosaur, pulled her aside and read her the riot act- quintessentially reminding any further progressives that the OLD GUARD neoliberals are in charge, as they have been for the last 30 years. Which is why the Dems have been floundering and failing, by design, for 30+ years.

The only way forward for the party as it stands is to purge the entirety of elderly power-clutching corporate boot throaters. Otherwise they’ll strangle any rising progressive stars before they can walk, let alone run.
