I’m reading a brilliant but grim BD (graphics novel) continuation of the Animal Farm story, and this fits in almost perfectly. My original review was lost in an instance move, but I’ll have to do an update one of these days.

Incidentally nominating himself as the Dumbest Husband Ever.

John Martinez, you flupping idiot.

No one is even hinting at changing that for the future.

That’s not really true, though. AOC, Sanders and others have been ceaselessly vocal about these matters, directly influencing change. And unless there’s systemic, nationwide fraud at the voting booths in November (I mean, much more than the usual), then the so-called “GOP” currently in charge is going to be in deep trouble from that point on. At least going by precedent and current rules, which of course might be somehow subverted by the Orangies, such as a declaration of martial law, etc.

No one in a nation of pussies will stop him.

The people manning the actual equipment are still military lifers, far as I know. From what I understand, it’s those types of folks who’ve historically prevented global nuclear war every time there was a chance of it happening.

Haha, altho fortunately, the movie Amadeus (and related fiction) don’t truly portray the friendship and appreciation between Mozart and Salieri. So maybe think of Kip Addotta’s song as a helpful mentor…

On 24 August 2024, Durov was arrested by French police on criminal charges relating to an alleged lack of content moderation on Telegram and refusal to work with police, which allegedly allowed the spread of criminal activities. --WP

Did they maybe have a point with that one?

…letting war criminals fly unimpeded through their air space.

I mean, the heads of state of the three most powerful nations in the world (plus various others) arguably hold that status, and collectively they must have flown over dozens of different nations. France may not exactly be heroic in that regard, but it’s a crowded field, far as I can tell.

Well, that’s the answer in terms of comparative density, but in terms of comparative weight, I’m wondering if the ice would indeed be heavier since it commonly traps additional gases in the freezing process.

So yeah, I’m not entirely sure if OP was talking more about weight or density.

France? Care to explain?

I think you probably want to direct that to “CustardFist.”

It’s a nice book, and a lighthearted look at a young man losing his religion. I’ll post some more pages, soon.

TBF, Brown ‘losing his religion’ is a major theme of the graphic novel, and I thought he handled it with plenty of respect, tact, and honesty… all told in his quirky storytelling mode, of course.

Like, regaling you endlessly with Grampa Simpsons’ incoherent stories? XD

From what I understand, global nuclear war was an ongoing concern by the mid-50’s, when the nuclear arms race got in to full swing. Along the timeline of the ensuing Cold War, there have evidently been a shocking number of close calls, with global war being averted by a single individual in some cases.

Let that sink in, if you will-- a SINGLE … fecking … person choosing to do the adult and humane thing, for the good of all us other humans, and most life on Earth.

Holy shit, does that person(s) deserve one hell of a victory parade, y’know?!

Now one note of interest might be that the USSR’s cache of nuclear arms may not have been well-maintained over the years, so modern Russia might be sitting on a far more limited amount of live weapons than exists on paper. FWIW… which of course probably isn’t much, in the end.

Are hierarchies inherently bad…

Allah asked, rhetorically.

It needs a heavy update, but here 'tis:

Wow, that was unexpectedly great.

So, you’re Dutch, I take it? I wouldn’t mind adding CustardFist to EGN’s webcomix list!

They’re also owned by big money as much as the Republicans.

Idiotic takes like that are as much of the problem as anything else.

Holy hell, the number of know-nothings who upvoted that nonsense…

That depends on the layout of duties for any particular site / instance.

When Sunaurus spoke of “vile content,” I got the sense that yes, he had to deal with too much of that horrible shit, plus much more.
