"At the troll court" by Ink Yami
Chris Foss would sometimes paint over his previous work. Here, he turns a western illustration into a sci-fi one.
Not sure I like the direction video game movies are heading rn...

someone new in my replies implying only white people watch movies made more than 15 years ago because thats roughly when all movies stopped being racist. just spreading the word
does anyone else smell burning toast
Stop being a white woman.
...is how some articles such as this one end.
It reminds me about the public memo issued by Starbucks (or a similar company?) during the racial moral panic of 2020-2021, imploring its employees to "try to be less white"*.
Anyway, this sort of language is used now and again, and I understand, in terms of persuasive content, what is intended by this artful rhetorical flourish.
But I do wonder, are those who write with such turns of phrase willing to put the teeniest tiniest modicum of effort into not completely alienating the part of the desired audience demographic which is not already on board with their ideology?
Or is displaying an unwillingness to put any such effort into one's preaching precisely the deliberate goal in the first place? Is it even a form of countersignaling, perhaps?
*Or did this actually happen? I Googled to try to find the exact wording, and Google is having trouble providing me with confirmation of this, not even the use of "be less white" with any meaning other than "have a lower composition of white people for the sake of DEI". I distinctly remember it being talked about at the time, by podcasters I consider fairly intellectually honest although readily inclined to acknowledge that "wokeness" was going too far at the time.)
I love how you have to equate "arresting people" to (what you think is) murder.
As if ICE doesn't have a legal right and responsibility to arrest people interfering with their duties, like cops in general.
Did they also have the legal right and responsibility to execute a man in broad daylight?
If they reasonably think he's a threat, they have a right to use force.
Like if they know about the presence of a gun, which goes off while they're trying to subdue him. They were factually wrong, but the conclusion was still reasonable.
OP is still stupid about ICE "shooting and arresting US citizens", because your side made up this lolgic that ICE aren't really cops, when they are and always have had arrest powers.
It's really funny how so much of the left is against open carrying and guns, but suddenly the presence of guns in a confrontation with police is completely irrelevant even though it demonstrably escalated the situation and got someone killed.
Heck, I remember 2020, when the mainstream left was against armed right-wing protesters, but didn't say word one about CHOP.
Even when they killed a kid.
If leftists would please stop bleating about the rules cops have to follow, it would really reduce the amount of useless animal sounds in the public discourse.
My favorite being âtear gas is forbidden by the Geneva Conventionâ. Yes, it sure is (because itâs technically the same class of chemical as some really nasty weapons). So is attacking civilian infrastructure and engaging in hostilities without a uniform, though. Know what is allowed in the Geneva Convention, though? Summary execution. Like, if youâre gonna bitch about MiLiTaRiZaTiOn Of PoLiCe, maybe donât tell cops they have to act like theyâre in a warzoneâbecause, the penalty for criminals, in a warzone? Suspension of the protections of the laws of war. Summary execution and âno-quarterâ orders are how people who loot or operate out of uniform are dealt with.
The left is against the things they're against (no matter how contradictory), and thus they hate and fear and want to destroy anyone who defends those things, or enforces laws opposed to those things.
It's no deeper than that. They believe they have a moral (and therefore legal, no matter what the law actually says) right to ignore laws they don't like, oppose those who enforce them, and to to impose their will on everyone else regardless of what others wish.
They're all tyrants at heart. The only real question is how much real power they're allowed to usurp.
Funny to call people Tyrants for not being happy about government agents executing protesters for no reason.
Trying to run over a law enforcement agent = "no reason"
Waving a gun around while violently resisting arrest = "no reason"
Sure, Jan.
I would recommend you look at the footage of the case and not just imagine what you assume would have happened to make your team look good and the other team look bad.
BBC Verify has analysed footage of the shooting from multiple angles, piecing together a detailed picture of what happened.
"waving a gun around" just straight up literally did not happen, it was in his waistband until it was removed by an officer while he was on the ground (before he was shot, so he was shot while unarmed.)
"violently resisting" he was slipping on the ice and writhing in pain from the pepper spray. We also aren't supposed to kill people for that.

ive invented (note: dubious claim) something i call the bear diet which is mostly fruits and vegetables with fish as the main protein source and something like once a month you eat a few hyperprocessed foods of your liking because that is when you, the bear, raid a dumpster in the suburbs
after the hyperprocessed foods, do you take tranquilizers to simulate getting captured by animal control and returned to the wild?

Genuinely insufferable that the UK has this upper-middle journalist class that get to endlessly pontificate their horrible opinions to the point it seeps into public consciousness.
I find it interesting that the underfunded and exploited journalists who are afraid of not selling their next article and the upper middle class journalists whose trust funds mean they don't need the job and can't conceive of living paycheck to paycheck end up producing the same kind of content functionally.
Are you absolutely sure that the article in question is not at least a little bit satirical, and that you are not reading a screenshot of a headline and getting very very angry at what you *assume* the article *would* say without checking what the article actually *does* say?
