  • An original, entirely unoriginal meme.

  • Is that an established term? "Tits out Teal'c"? Cuz if it ain't, it totally should be. :D

  • Reminds me of Daryl Davis.

    In 1983, he was playing country western music in a "white" bar in Frederick, Maryland, when a patron came up to him and said it was the first time he had "heard a black man play as well as Jerry Lee Lewis". Davis explained to the man that "Jerry Lee learned to play from black blues and boogie-woogie piano players and he's a friend of mine". The white patron was skeptical and over a drink admitted he was a member of the KKK. The two became friends and eventually the man gave Davis contact information on KKK leaders.

    A few years later, Davis decided that he wanted to interview Klan members and write a book on the subject, to answer a "question in my head from the age of 10: 'Why do you hate me when you know nothing about me?' That question had never been answered from my youth".

    Davis eventually went on to befriend over twenty members of the KKK, and claims to have been directly responsible for between forty and sixty, and indirectly over two hundred people leaving the Klan.

  • Well, if you get it wrong, you can always have the last panel say "I've made a huge mistake".

  • Trek me: "Of course! ¡Viva Q!" :D

    Pedant me: "Ackshually mariachi are dressed like charros from the state of Jalisco, whereas Mexico was represented at the Battle of Puebla by the regular Mexican army, and volunteers from Zacapoaxtla, so Q should be dressed like this:"

  • Re the proposed "National Garden of American Heroes", you may submit applications to make statues of a selection from the list provided here:

    From just a quick look:

    • Muhammad Ali - avoided fighting in Vietnam by standing up for his woke principles of DEI, not claiming bone spurs
    • Louis Armstrong, Neil Armstrong - both included, presumably in case Donald gets the two confused
    • John James Audubon - immigrant from Haiti, and we all know what that means!
    • Alexander Graham Bell - Scots and Canadian and worked with people with disabilities; we all know how much that Venn diagram loves Trump
    • Ingrid Bergman - Swedish actress. I mean, 100% Swedish. Are you even trying to pick American heroes?
    • Johnny Cash - the man who wore black out of empathy for the poor and incarcerated. Probably wouldn't even piss on Trump if he was on fire.
    • Christopher Columbus - I thought Trump was one of those who insisted on "America" meaning only the United States of America. Which Columbus was not born in, naturalized in, lived in or ever even visited. Or does Trump think that in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue and landed in Palm Beach to be welcomed by Paul Bunyan and George Washington saying "50% off all mattresses all weekend!"?

    Elon Musk: It Is 'Outrageous' to 'Claim That I'm a Nazi'

  • “If you repeat a lie, you know, [...] enough times, some people actually believe it, [...]"

    What an interesting perspective, Elon. Who came up with it originally? Oh, yeah, the fucking Nazis!
