More comic lore coming your way from The Illustrious Q!
"Friendship is Magic issue 89 has @andypriceart.bsky.social making two references with Capper's T-Shirt. The first, being the obvious nod to Jim Davis's Monday hating cat Garfield. The other still blames her sister."

also the Klingons are PERCEIVED to be fearless honor-seeking warriors when in reality a lot of them were corrupt, toxic assholes who would backstab each other if given the change to gain power in their archaic feudal system!
Star Trek literally addressed this nearly 40 years ago with this scene. In quote Riker himself, it's "incredibly outmoded and sexist attitude" to think Klingons can't wear skirts.

The first big fascist wave in Germany and Italy was driven by the humiliation and suffering of WW1. Our current wave of American fascism is largely driven by rich guys who want it to be illegal for you to laugh at them.
the fact that they saw Polanski as not being punished despite fleeing to France -- the fact that his social circle did not hold him accountable -- finally makes me understand why the elite media is insane about left activism at elite colleges: nothing anyone else can do to them matters.

Because in reality it's a series of Doggos named dogmeat, all the goodest of dogs.

Related: If you want your garden to be a natural habitat, you can't go and selectively murder half its population because you don't like wasps. We call it an ecosystem for a reason, if you start ripping out gears, it WILL malfunction. Learn to coexist, or consider moving into a condo.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”
