Do you mean β€œmarginalized” in a political sense, or just in the sense that they're not that important to the story?

I just can’t believe Doctor Who would do something like that.

But if he’s in someone else’s dream, wouldn’t they dream him without a ring if that’s how they’ve seen him in real life?

NYS Open Legislation | NYSenate.gov

It might vary by state, but here in NY it’s illegal for someone under 21 to buy alcohol, or possess it with the intent to drink it, but there’s an exception if it’s served by their parent or legal guardian, or if it’s part of a class.

The "Stop the apartheid libel." graphic, but the word "libel" has been erased, so it just reads "Stop the apartheid."

Oppenheimer was director of the Los Alamos Laboratory from 1943 to 1945. That org chart is dated 1 May 1946.

The lab was operated by the University of California, and I think the scientists there were civilians.

Color panel from a comic book, showing a silhouetted figure, bag over one shoulder, descending from a ship's gangway, arriving at a port city filled with domes and minarets, and populated by figures with fezzes. 

Narration boxes read: "I was determined to measure
my success against his. Firstly, I gave away my inheritance to demonstrate the possibility of achieving anything, starting from nothing. Next I departed for northern Turkey, to retrace my hero's steps."

Support for the idea that Richie Rich is Ozymandias in the alt-universe where Watchmen was based on Harvey comics instead of Charlton.

Was she 19?

Nuzzi’s 32 now. She broke up with Ryan Lizza last year, at 31. Lizza says they were together for a decade, so that’s 21, unless he’s rounding up. And she was with Olbermann for four years before that, which brings us to 17.

I have no idea who these characters are, but there’s some top-notch cartooning going on here in the body movements, cropping, balloon placement, choices of angle, timing, etc.

Cartoon by Nick Anderson shows a motorboat in motion with three men in it, and several large white bags. A canopy on top of the boat reads "YES, WE"RE TRAFFICKING "DRUGS, BUT WE PLAN TO BUY A LOT OF TRUMP CRYPTO WITH OUR MONEY." A missile headed towards the boat swerves away. One man says "Genius."
