It's ok to prioritize your own health and look after your own needs. It's ok to wear a crown made of ancient bones. It's ok to build steam powered mechanical wolves to protect your yard from unusually large squirrels.

On the other hand, how long will they be a major party if that's their platform and the opponents get their shots? Problem solves itself eventually...

Your periodic reminder that the greatest ever military in recorded human history was not from your country but was the Liechtenstein army that fought the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 who left with 80 men but came back with 81 because they made a friend on the way

the utter immolation of journalism and its replacement with a rotating crop of shallow and distracting infotainment engagement bait is a 100% intentional endeavor by those with wealth and power, and you should laugh at anybody who tries to suggest otherwise.

Only without even those social levels. People would constantly have explosive interactions because they didn't know how to deal with anyone else.

Imagine forcing everyone into tiny rabbit holes of their own to separate them from the rest of humanity and profiteer off them. It would be like The Matrix.

I miss my copy of this. Was lost when I moved along with my Smithsonian Book of Comic Book Comics and the two were both spectacular. Feiffer did an amazing job!

It's been six years since Steve Bannon's advisory on how to neutralize journalists: "Flood the zone with shit." Learning what that means, how it works, is now basic to newsroom competence. Six years! Which is to say, things like this this should not be happening.

There are 95k people there! That's insane. I'm shocked that this isn't news if it's remotely accurate.
