“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are in bed. Blue is sound asleep, as Green wakes up to a prolonged, high-pitched, continuous eeee-sound. Green, thinking: Wait, what's that sound? A child screaming? Outside, this late at night? Frowning and sleepy, Green lifts his head from his pillow and looks around, trying to determine the source of the sound. Green, still in thought: There it was again. Where is it coming from? As he looks around, Green's gaze lands on Blue. Still groggy and sleepy, Green nonetheless looks visibly relieved. Green, still thinking: I can't decide what to do about it before I figure out wh- oh. Green cuddles up to Blue, who is still just as serenly asleep as ever. The whistling sound continues, coming from Blue. Green, still in thought: It was just your nostril whistling.

Arkie!

Day 24- Bear Assassin

Happy Birthday @luka37.bsky.social!! :D

A comic from 2022 I think, Halloween week - here's the script: The scene is a darkened woods, at night. All is depicted in dingy blues and purples. In a lonely moonlit clearing we see a CABIN. its windows are dark, clearly unoccupied. A lone figure runs towards it, from the trees. Closer in on them now - we see they are terrified. The race for the door of the cabin, desperately trying to enter. They rattle the door, frantically. It is locked. They look behind them. We see the darkened, black trees of the woods. In amongst the forest, we see the black silhouette of a figure. It walks closer. Closer still. Closer - and now we see it is holding a chainsaw. It emerges into the light, slowly the shadow lifts from its face. It is wearing a mask. The victim silently screams in a rictus of horror. This can't be happening, no, no, no. Closer, closer now it lifts the chainsaw high above its head as it speaks: MURDERER: This murder is brought to you by MeUndies. VICTIM: What? MURDERER: If you're like me you'd kill for comfortable underwear - VICTIM: Sorry - VICTIM: Are you... doing a *podcast*? MURDERER: I knoooww... It's such a cliché Everybody's got one these days! VICTIM: But I thought you were trying to murder me? MURDERER: Indeed! I'm a true crime podcaster driven mad by having to change gear between horrific human tragedy and adverts for MeUndies. MURDERER: So just tap in offer code I'M BEING MURDERED with your bloodied, trembling hand for 20% off some pants! MURDERER: Now, back to the murder- [he revs up his chainsaw again] [ends]

Abcnews graphic: surreal moment as coyote drinks water from skylight window on top of Los Angeles hair salon (Image of exactly that, except the framing is canted and as a result it looks like a coyote imprisoned in a glass square a la the phantom zone from Superman)

I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone

I love that he followed up this bit going viral by immediately picking up a huge bag of Rowling Blood Money

Learning copics :3
