See you later, I'm going to go take a look at this suicide robot. (Old Lunch), Monday, 28 January 2019 19:45 (seven years ago)

it's a bit of a contraction to assert that the truth is complex and then express it in simple drawing. it is what it's critiquing.

Truth is simple but it's too complex to be understood by the simplistic human mind. #trenchant #dousee

The Onion did a much better riff on the "typical political cartoon" joke iirc.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Monday, 28 January 2019 20:39 (seven years ago)

Not Stan Kelly, an article about a political cartoon. Ungoogleable now bc of stan kelly.

this one? https://local.theonion.com/frustrated-man-forced-to-agree-with-dumbass-political-c-1819580412

lol, that's good too, the one I remember is just about a political cartoon being confusing and having lots of labeled parts

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Monday, 28 January 2019 20:44 (seven years ago)

penguin cartoon description is hilarious

I'm glad the book is labeled or I would have had no idea what he was holding.

on first look i thought the facebook laptop was surrounded by an ossuary

that's my kind of trenchant social commentary

I'm pretty sure they're looking at porn.

jmm, Wednesday, 13 February 2019 14:51 (seven years ago)

If I'm reading the cartoon correctly, the new Facebook branded laptop is extremely popular but in extremely short supply, leading to situations where scores of people haplessly attempt to use a single machine at once. Even the popular novel entitled Book (known in part for the irreverent placement of its title on the back cover instead of the front) cannot hold the attention of those in proximity to one of these wondrous marvels of technology.

it's slightly hard to discern whether that's a pro- or anti-lib thing

I call shenanigans. He does not seem like the type to sit on the subway.

Yerac, Tuesday, 5 March 2019 22:16 (seven years ago)

But I guess good for him for pointing out that men only get up like 10% of the time for pregnant, the elderly, or people not able bodied on the subway.

Like, yeah I know there are also other and even greater injustices in the world, thx.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 14 March 2019 15:31 (seven years ago)

almost all "you think X is bad but Y is much worse" takes are trenchant

Mordy, Thursday, 14 March 2019 15:36 (seven years ago)

my whole feed seems to be these takes right now. I got into a pointless argument with a friend about it. She's a very high earning professional but didn't go to college and she thinks no one should care about this. But she has kids and I know she'd be mad about this if her kids were applying to college right now, regardless of whether it's "the way things work" or there are worse problems in the world.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 14 March 2019 15:39 (seven years ago)

And are usually more about being the smart guy in the room while saying things everybody else already knew for years

The war in Yemen is bad but have you heard of capitalism?

Yup, in fact the takes are split between "x is worse" and "come on, everyone already knew this and if you didn't you were a sucker" (and combos of the two).

tbf it looks like she'd have a pretty good chance, as a high-earning professional, to buy her kid a way into college

If you were angry about Patty getting snatched by the Symbionese Liberation Army, wait until you hear about wealth inequality, sexism, and people dying needlessly in Vietnam

fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Thursday, 14 March 2019 15:54 (seven years ago)

Vietnam only happened because of capitalism. You knew that, right?
