Something has to be done about the parlous state of not only US education, but of religious faith in the United States. Mainly because all these demands that “everything must have Jesus in it!” show a shocking lack of faith in God at all.
Wealth is Virtue; the more money you have, the more moral and virtuous you are; conversely those with little or none are the foulest of immoral vermin, and should be punished cruelly, until they repent.
I never really got into Rosenberg’s previous opus Goats, but this comic is simultaneously topical, surreal and consistently funny.
Every Friday there’s another episode of an ongoing story, the first famously being Sciencemaster Adler and his mysterious fan. Or fans. Or maybe they’re not fans but are sentient vegetable people. (Mind you, this is a multiverse, so maybe there’s sentient clothing accessory people as well, but that could be heading into the Douglas Adams Territories.)
A quick editorial cartoon about the intersection of self-pity, entitlement, rape, territoriality, misogyny and fear of women. You see it all over the place online in the form of Men’s Rights Activists (of whom there are a few reasonable non-misogynists), Men Going Their Own Way, Pick Up Artists, and dudes touting the “Red Pill”, because The Matrix is a good movie. Look any of these up if you have the stomach for it. These are extreme examples, but watered-down forms of these ideas are everywhere.
In lurking their blogs and youtube channels for a while, I’ve noticed that beyond the standard patriarchal chauvinism there is this deep fear of women - what they will do to me, how they will reject me, how they will use me, how they are changing society in a way that does not favor me, how they are making men into something I don’t like, how they are making themselves into something I don’t like, that they won’t give me what I want, and that they won’t give me what I think is rightfully mine. This goes beyond fear of feminism- this is fear of women at its purest. And that, to quote a puppet, leads to anger and hate. It’s sad.
I am a feminist. I think there’s enough ice cream to go around, but it does mean those of us with 3 scoops might have to give one or two up. Also, The Matrix is a fun movie but probably not anything you should be basing a philosophy on.
Tex Avery’s Car of Tomorrow from 1951.
Interestingly, one of the tag on this cartoon is ‘uncensored’ - apparently this is to do with the Chinese and Indian gags, as well as the 'woman driver’ ones.
One of the best comments:

This is long but excellent
Most people don’t have faith in their god/s. Just brand loyalty. And artificially inflamed brand loyalty at that.
Ah, Xmas… when thinking about killing everyone changes to actually drawing up detailed plans to kill everyone.
Once we had some mirror tiles set up as a garden decoration, until a blackbird spent over three hours attacking its reflection. Then we took them down.
The goose below is having a similar problem with some mirror-glass windows.
And for some reason, this video is actually quite funny.
There’s a game idea I’ve had for about 20 years, and for some reason (*cough* Phaser HTML5 game engine *cough*) I’m revisiting it. The basic play design, even the playfield, has remained surprisingly consistent, although now the humour is even more puerile and the art style draws inspiration from Roger Ramjet. Especially for the cutscenes.
