Much as I like the idea of a rubric's cube, it's spelled Rubik's cube. (Now what would a rubric's cube…
Great response to the Mace bill by AOC (video at link).
@bcb: Sometimes I think the whole election was an elaborate murder-suicide plot that the entire country is carrying out.
@Megalodon: They've made it clear that their first target is trans Americans. They'll get to that mass deportation stuff when…

Cartoon: Only SOME Can Be Objective
Another cartoon drawn by Nadine Scholtes! As well as drawing this cartoon, Nadine made a crucial contribution to the script; she suggested making the final panel a thought balloon, an idea I immediately agreed to. This cartoon was directly inspired … Continue reading

So Much In Common
Robert Wright writes: But then I remembered a conversation I had a few years ago with a psychologist at Boston College named Liane Young. She and some colleagues had done research on how Palestinians and Israelis view their conflict and … Continue reading
Cartoon: Nonbinaries Don’t Care About Your Bullshit
This cartoon is drawn by Nadine Scholtes. People online who hate nonbinary people are strikingly bitter about it, and for no reason I can understand. “What’s wrong with these people?” they growl, and go on and on about how “narcissistic” … Continue reading
Cartoon: Generations
This cartoon was drawn by the remarkable Nadine Scholtes. I don’t believe in generations. Or at least, I don’t believe in generational personalities. It’s like astrology; it’s fun to make huge sweeping generalizations about big groups of people. More than … Continue reading

Cartoon: Our Loss, Your Gain

Cartoon: Women Need To Be More Warm And Approachable
I saw this exchange on Twitter. For context, “David” is an anti-feminist with 7,000 followers, and Andrew Tate is a famous misogynist: David’s sentiment is common among incels and anti-feminists (two groups with significant overlap) – if young women would … Continue reading

Thanks for the catch! And, I have no idea whatsoever what a rubric's cube would be or would do. But…
