My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

Simeon's dream of being a top ranking gladiator is realised here in cartoon form... The reality is, people are being hurt unnecessarily for profit.

#NzPol #Cartoon #Caricature #SimeonBrown #Government
Cartoon. Title: Simeon's demands on the health sector. We're in a corridor with Romanesque items - columns, roads, patterned walls. And Simeon Brown is tucked inside a golden chariot with his whip. And holding the chariot are three health sector workers. They're carrying him and running with agony in their faces. He's shouting at them, "MORE CUTS! MORE PATIENTS! MORE EFFICIENCY! FASTER! FASTER! FASTER!"

Be kind.
Be helpful.
Be generous.
Be wrathful when you need to.
Be the benevolent swamp creature or shambling forest horror with a heart of gold that you wish to see in the world.

The worst part of selfless robotic servants is going to be how happy they are.

COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/consci...

STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com
6-panel SMBC comic update where a person asks a robot who is the background, cleaning, if they have achieved consciousness. The robot says "Nah - consciousness requires a reflective inner experience, unified persistent sense of self hood, and an intrinsic set of goals." The robots adds that an ai has no existence as it is, it just tries to meet the needs of the hour rather than eternally striving upward. This gives the human pause, and then reply "aw man, did you already attain total spiritual enlightenment?" The robot replies with "Namu amida butsu" a Japanese Buddhist chant.

Child marriage is heinous, but one thing I never see brought up in those discussions is that if you are under 18, you cannot file for divorce. If you are under 18 and married to an adult, they are your legal guardian and make decisions for you. That is not a partnership.
Most Minors Who Are Married Can't File for Divorce — Even if They Want To
The final installment of Wedlocked, our series about child marriage in the U.S., explores divorce.

"It was ironic to see Chris Bishop and the Prime Minister complaining that there aren't enough electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles on the used car market.

"That's because they collapsed the importation of electric vehicles when they canceled the Clean Car Discount.”

Hi team #StarTrek, please give a read or a share, and thank you 🙏🏼
This is an all white box with only words in it, a break from tradish today. It reads, “Idealistic “Start Trek Future we want to see” post today but not specifically a screenshot. Putting out an ask because you all are an awesome community of smart and caring people. I do some work with an incredible nonprofit that serves the unhoused and those in deep poverty in the Twin Cities, MN. State and federal funding has changed a lot this past year and we’re expecting even more loss in these areas. We’re in a campaign to raise funds to maintain hours, continue to serve, and be a resource and source of love and dignity for those our society tends to look away from. My ask is to consider giving $3.00, or $5.00, or more if you are fortunate to have it, to help those living on the edge of survival. We are many and can make a difference, thank you all for any generosity you can lend. Ad Aspera, Per Astra! To give, go to ListeningHouse.org and hit the donate button.” Included also is a picture of the single most important man in Starfleet History, Chief Miles, Edward, O’Brien, who was a famous supporter of worthy nonprofits in his time.🙏🏼

Sorry but “series” needs a better plural

I get it, Latin fifth declension nouns blah blah

But what are we using for the new plural going forward?

“serieses” is giving too much Gollum

ATTENTION! Chris here: Down to the wire. About to lose our storage and home. If we can last a couple more months here I can move us to an apt that is far more affordable/avoid sleeping in the car. Im going to open a new digital bundle tier for $105 which gets you everything in the shop plus bonuses.

Might be in the market for a new pair of glasses, because I don't cost the family enough money. Maybe time to look at progressive lenses so maybe I can stop having to take off my glasses to see?
