   Back in 2022, when Secretary Buttigieg was asked what he was going to do about the rising gas prices, he gave a non-answer talking about how since he owned an electric car he just drove right on past the gas stations. This was widely regarded as a “Let them eat cake!” moment for the Biden Administration, and several people, myself included, speculated that this would cost them the mid-terms.

   This perception of arrogance and being out of touch is still in the public mindset, and so Biden saying that it’s all fine & dandy because the charts say it’s fine & dandy is furthering the public frustration.

   Most superheroes have backgrounds that require them to be at least above average in regards to physical fitness.

   For example, Superman grew up on a farm, Frank Castle was Marine Corps infantry, and X-O Manowar is a time-displaced Viking warrior.

   Couple this with the fact that a lot of heroes represent wish fulfillment on the part of the readers, and it’s no wonder why so many are reasonably fit and attractive.

   In this instance, a small number of individuals have falsely claimed to be transgender so that they can access the bathrooms and locker rooms of the other gender for prurient purposes. This has led to a moral panic on the matter, and a rush to institute complete bans.

   Leigh Luna is a guest artist while Olivia James is on vacation. This all will likely thus be promptly ignored once James is back on the strip.

   One of the most vocal groups in opposing female conscription in the US has been self-described feminists. This has led to questions about whether these individuals are simply opposed to the idea of conscription entirely, whether they see men as inferior and thus expendable, or whether they simply don’t want to possibly be in danger.

   For at least a good 20 years now, there have been efforts to require women to sign up for the draft.

   Some people believe that it would create enough backlash to end Selective Service entirely.

   Others believe that women now owe it to society since they’re legally equal to men and so should be paying the same price for those rights.

   The issue is that the Biden Administration fixated on various charts, tables, and papers which claimed that overall inflation was down, declared the battle over, and turned a deaf ear to people who were complaining about the fact that the cost of everyday essentials was still going up.

   By all appearances, the mindset was basically “the numbers say we won, and we’re not personally dealing with X, so it’s not an issue”.

   It’s Leigh Luna. I remember them doing a different online comic strip a while back, but I’m absolutely blanking on what the title was.

    Did you hear about Google’s AI image generator? A couple of Google employees deliberately tinkered with the algorithms in the hope of forcing it to depict “diverse” images, but once word got out people found ways to game the generator so that it was producing bigoted imagery. That’s an actual example of politics interfering with an AI to catastrophically negative effect.
