And one new werewolf hunter! If you’re a werewolf you’re going to have to be sure you don’t live in the greatest city in the world! Let me tell you something about werewolfs, think about that word, “Where” are they? That’s the first step to finding a werewolf. The second? Telling them to leave!

how lame is it that so many of the funniest standup comedians you used to like all simultaneously decided to give up on putting the work into being funny and became bigoted children who bully other kids on the playground and then cry to the teacher because little billy punched them for no reason

Happy New Year!
The new year may not actually mean anything, but it's a cleansing time - a chance to feel like we're having a fresh start, washing away all the dirt of the previous year, feel refreshed from all the things we are scrubbing away-
Look, just take a shower.

This is also the answer to why "new media" (aka YouTube at this point) seem so full-up with right-leaning creators: The individual talent that CAN do better generally *does* by graduating to film or TV still 🤷♂️
*(also applies to gaming to an extent. Huge brain drain to other fields)
*(also applies to gaming to an extent. Huge brain drain to other fields)
A huge reason that we're in the current shitty political situation we are today is that conservatives basically had a monopoly on SEO tactics because only the biggest pieces of shit in our society were interested in how to make money from scammy SEO shit. Similar situations with influencers etc.

Weiss believes she is engaged in a game in which the point is self-aggrandizement, and that everyone else is involved in that same game, and she fundamentally cannot *understand* criticism on the grounds of integrity or virtue.
The most telling Bari Weiss incident came when "The Free Press" excused George Floyd's murder, @radleybalko.bsky.social highlighted factual errors, and Weiss's reaction was not to make corrections, but to invite Balko on a podcast.
There is no truth, there are no standards, there is only content.

The unholy trinity of the gop powerbrokers in your standard rural area:

This was such a weird historical quirk of Occupy.
4chan still was kind of a social hub for hacker troll groups like Anonymous, and their fans all loved Occupy conceptually and showed up on Day 1 in Guy Fawkes masks and thought they would of course be in charge

Things definitely went sideways at the end of Occupy in a lot of unfortunate ways, but at least in Philly it was because of deliberate state sabotage.
Like the mayor here made a deal with a bunch of 4chan white guys and claimed they represented Occupy and Occupy had agreed to disperse.

They could have broken the cycle by sending only male massage therapists to Epstein’s home. Funny how Trump didn’t suggest that.
"Mar-a-Lago spa’s practice of dispatching workers to Epstein’s home has not been previously reported ... The Mar-a-Lago bosses told the message therapist Epstein preferred spa services in the privacy of his own home, and warned the employee Epstein sometimes exposed himself during massages."
Exclusive | The Incident That Prompted Trump to Ban Epstein From Mar-a-Lago’s Spa
Mar-a-Lago sent an 18-year-old spa worker on a house call to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. She complained to her bosses that Epstein pressured her for sex.

In Philly that angry 4chan caucus spent most of Occupy undermining consensus decisions, then merged with the shunned Rand Paul tent and the Privileged White Guys Off Their Meds demographic to form a group they called "Reasonable Solutions" & set up their own little loser encampment across the street

They got super mad seeing popular protest because they weren't the stars of the show, and (in the case of 2020) COULD not be the stars of the show because they were not part of the impacted identity group.

These dudes and the occasional pick me gal co-host absolutely did not know shit about organizing, they thought "movement" was about bloviating into a microphone and building up enough clout that politicians felt they had to come on your show.

They loved that Bernie mostly dodged the issues of race and gender, they loved a vision of the left where they wouldn't have to worry about that and could be stars without having to share the stage with Black people and women, among others.

This, *and*
Just to riff. I think it's important to remember that before Bernie 2016, the (left) organizing world had really embraced intersectionality as at least nominally aspirational.
And a lot of the past decade of the popular "left" has been white dead ender dudes trying to hijack it all.

They mean white. A lot of the left thought this was gonna be their time to show they didn’t need “identitarianism” and it’s not worked
i wanna know which part of the left they're talking about because Black Lives Matter and the response to George Floyd's murder literally went international???

Watterson actually talked about this in one of the anniversary editions iirc and considered doing it, but ultimately settled on this instead.
I remember being worried that the final strip would be Calvin losing his innocence and realising that Hobbes was just a toy. That would have been heartbreaking. Thankfully we have this wonderful sign off instead. Sniff.
