I'm not saying Mark Zuckerberg is a better person, but if you changed your name on Facebook to "Italian Mark Zuckerberg" and posted "I send a the calzone into the metaverse! Ohhhh!" he would never see it, and even if he did, he would not care, and would not do anything about it.
Today a person can work two jobs for fifty hours a week and struggle to make ends meet, while in the stone age, a weird bird could be a hairdryer for a caveman for like five minutes every morning and it was a living.
Lot of people pointing out that you can't use fake names on Facebook, so this is my blanket reply: Facebook banning fake names did not coincide with a bunch of people impersonating Zuckerberg to make fun of him.
At least half the bad takes about entertainment then and now are based on viewing anything from before you were an adult as having sprung into being on its own as an act of pure creation with no commercial or political context.
Thank you for reading my viral tweet, here are some comics I made with my friend
@KeebyAstrokat
about what it would be like if Bernie Sanders was president of the United States.
I'm not embarrassed by the viral video of me getting my ass kicked by an eight year old boy with a pool noodle & crying until big globs of snot form under my nostrils. I merely object to it because it fails the Bachdel test.
Just saying you've got no historical perspective at all if you think Disney shifting to movies about Arabs and Native Americans and Black people was not a conscious effort to be more diverse. If you came here to relitigate the live action Little Mermaid, then go away.
Imagine you're Scott Adams, author and artist of Dilbert, and you've suffered the unspeakable tragedy of losing a stepson to suicide. And then you go online a few years later and post to millions of people that there's nothing you could have done about it except kill him.
I'm a religion studies professor researching Disney and I'm here to tell you why to stop pathologizing Disney adults, trending again because of this post. A thread:
"The Sound of Music" is a weak-ass generic title. Literally any musical could be called that and it would still play, with the possible exception of Cats, because then you'd be left to wonder what's with all the cats.
In observation of the Minnesota State Fair, which sadly had to be canceled this year, I made a crop art tribute to 2020's greatest romance.

What do people mean when they say they're sick of "superhero" movies? I can't tell! I don't understand! What kind of movies do they mean??? Do they mean that they're sick of *all* movies??? All movies have at least one superhero in them. I have never seen one without a superhero.
"Why are you all posting about the missing garbage submarine more than you posted about the migrant shipwreck in Greece?"
I'm sorry, you don't understand what posting is. I don't come on here to find the saddest thing going on in the world and riff on it.
Utterly wild cake tin rental selection at the baking shop I went to today. These are the highlights, but I believe there is no newer character than Wall-e in the whole store.
I found an account on Deviantart that has posted over 15,000 pictures of dinosaurs that all look like this. There does not appear to be any repetition or copy-pasting as far as I can tell.
Commercial:
Some insufferable dweeb is spouting off about craft beer. "Seriously! I only drink belgians now!"
Cool guy smirks and hands him a drink. "Try this."
"Wow! What is this, imperial dry-hopped vanilla rye IPA porter?"
"No," (smirks again) "Just a humble Pepsi."
Fantasy is when characters wear armor that leaves vital areas open and are still totally protected, sci-fi is when characters wear armor from head to toe that does nothing.

people have carbon monoxide detectors in their home, not carbon dioxide. I'm sorry, I saw this come through my feed as a retweet and this happens to be a pet peeve of mine so I'm coming out of nowhere to correct it. Not your problem, sorry.
Trying to find something nice to say about Pat Robertson, I assumed he must have, at some point or another, incidentally supported a charity that feeds the hungry or something like that, and saw this on Wikipedia:
The Titanic didn't really sink, there is a lot of evidence that this is a hoax. For instance, contemporary accounts describe the Titanic as "unsinkable."
"Do you want the men's toy, or the women's?"
"Uh, mens?"
(I open it up and it's Viggo Mortenson's character from Green Book)
"OK, uh, what's the women's toy?"
Anybody remember how there used to be like an entire genre of webcomics that were almost completely just jokes about breaking the fourth wall? "The cartoonist must be lazy today," "we're going to lose readers for this," "this is drawn so badly," etc.?
I wrote this Achewood fan script as sort of a writing exercise back when they discontinued Choco Tacos, and I was pretty sure Achewood would never come back, looked at it again and decided it was worth sketching up.
AI art sucks ass and is bad for humanity but anyone who thinks that every ai-generated image would have otherwise been a commission is as delusional as someone who thinks every movie that gets pirated would otherwise have been a purchase.
Obviously there's plenty to say about Sinfest, but one weird thing about it is that standalone strips like this always FEEL like they're a snippet from a more-or-less coherent story, but they're not.
