Haha, yes only Russia and Iran are doing this. Good guys wouldn't behave like this...Israel definitely isn't doing the same thing to Gaza.. Was propaganda always this lazy or is this a new development?

Doesn't sound like they're the ones crying...

Here is a wiki source (insert error bars here) discussion of his stance on his work being officially licensed. He thought that use of his work outside of a comic strip would cheapen the value of the strip itself. This was frusterating as a child (who wouldn't want a fucking Hobbes plushy) but now later I can see that it was at the very least a very defensible choice. Compare how people feel about C&H vs something that was commercialized to death like Garfield. Anyway, hope it's useful.

Is this not the shit that American cops use on American civilians like...all the time? Genuine question, would like to know if I'm wrong about that.

The word rape doesn't show up in that entire article. Must be some kind of mistake. I wonder why that would happen?

I was surprised by TVP when we started cutting out meat. It looks disgusting when dried and the name textured vegetable protein couldn't possibly be less sexy. Contrary to what I thought, it does a great job of soaking up flavors of what it's cooked in, and the texture is probably second to real meat.

"Generic Democrat" polls better than Biden. You can argue he has a chance, but you can't argue that he's popular, or polling well against Trump. I kind of take issue with "crushed" a descriptor of 2020 too. Skin of his teeth seems more reasonable, and in an environment that's completely different from right now. They did it with Hillary, another very unpopular candidate and we got Trump. They're doing it again now, and it seems nuts to go so balls out against actual voters rather than the people who are literally deciding who the candidate is. But what do I know🤷‍♂️

100% agree. However, I try to keep in mind that these are real people with real families doing real work in the ineficient system that we've allowed to exist.
