When I'm in a slump, I comfort myself by saying that I believe in Mookie Wilson

Fantastic interview! I’ve been a fan of their comic for years, and I’m glad to get to hear a bit about their creative process.

Let’s do the math:

-50 year mortgage proposed by Tr*mp
-Average age for first time homeowners is 38 (it was a lot lower before Reagan et al)
-average life expectancy for americans is roughly 75

…so the orange goblin is just blatantly saying β€œi want you to die before ever being out of debt to us”

Billionaires do not contribute in proportion to what they take, not even remotely. We are letting a handful of men destroy our planet in the name of inflating their own egos, and it HAS to stop, or soon we won’t have anything left.

The idea that there could be a trillionaire is so far beyond unforgivable that there is no word severe enough to encompass it.

Wealth is meant to reflect a person’s hard work and contributions to society. It’s meant to move and rotate to keep us all going and alive.

Ten billion dollars = five thousand lifetimes
100 billion dollars = fifty thousand lifetimes
A trillion dollars = five-hundred thousand lifetimes

The fact that there are billionaires is unforgivable enough- these parasites drink and drink while the rest of us fight to survive.

The median income in america is *roughly* $50,000. If a person works from ages 20-60 (assuming they GET to retire) they will earn a gross of two million dollars for a lifetime of work.

A billionaire, with one billion to their name, has hoarded the wealth of five hundred people’s lifetimes.

That’s a perfect way of putting it! Rewatching it now after having seen so much other stuff featuring Grant & Beardsley recontextualizes a lot

Total Forgiveness on Dropout is a show about two friends undergoing incredible mental and physical hardship in the effort to get their criplling student loans cleared. It’s sometimes funny, often brutal, and one of the most Millennial shows ever made

Nice to see a group vote for their own interests instead of being brianwashed into shooting themselves in the foot.

Way to go, NYC!

But Texas… dammit to hell, Texas.

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: 
Using Generative AI?
You’re prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

As someone with lifelong, brutal tinnitus, the idea of meditation is fascinating to me. Any time i’ve ever tried it quickly just becomes my ears screaming at me.

Ask your doctor if it’s right for you. Some side effects exist.
