Love this, also shows how easy & simple it is to explain these concepts to kids "some people are just like that" there, end of explanation, no moral panic, just mutual understanding
A map showing that the Strait of Hormuz is blocked but the oil can be carried overland by Lemming sprites from the game Lemmings to a tanker waiting off-shore in Oman.
Can this be a solution?

that twitter billionaire's dumbass grok image proposing oil transfer by land through what looks like oman and uae, both currently in range of iranian drones and missiles. the trucks have been replaced by a giant slip n' slide running between the ships and a caption that reads "Pour Oil into Giant Slip n' Slide"

A google maps view of the area around the Strait of Hormuz, with crude markup showing the 4 steps to successfully clearing the strait: 1. Build up speed 2. Hit Trampoline 3. Cool backflip 4. Nail the landing The boat is illustrated using a clip art yacht, and the trampoline is also just kind of floating there.
wait. wait. everyone hold on. i've solved it
an AI generated image of the Strait of Hormuz and mocking a diagram that originally showed trucks going across the land, but now I've put two stargates there instead
can this be a solution

Similar phenomenon: NSFW content is incredibly policed from small creators on platforms that will then allow ads that are nearly softcore.
NSFW content isnβt censored if it makes money for big corporations, but individuals and small creators have to toe an arbitrary line of what counts as too much.
A tweet by Carlson Tueller @carson_tueller that says "Ableism looks like calling disabled people 'inspiring' for navigating a system that is designed for their exclusion, while doing nothing to hold the system accountable. #ableism #disabled #accssToLife"
The "inspiration" I give abled people is to diminish their own problems and those of my friends. Abled people will use me surviving my struggles as a way to say other disabled people don't need accessibility. My existence does not negate anyone else's disability or need for accessibility.

4 frame comic. a street journalist is interviewing a tall light brown man with a pink scarf and a tshirt of the band Angine de Poitrine. off-frame, the journalist asks : sir! are you worried about homophobic parents who might want to trans their child rather than have an effeminate son? the man replies : wait wait wait wait wait. are you implying that some homophobes might not also be raging transphobes? Never heard of that. trans kids are currently being hunted down, outlawed, marginalized from social life, singled out in their own schools, and you're asking me about some hypothetical parent who might pressure a child into being trans so they might what? fit in better? transitioning as a child in- volves years of determination. every adult in their life is likely to cast doubt on who they are. if they are lucky and have supportive parents, their families are often ostracized by their community. the idea that someone sees the hardships a family with a trans child goes through and thinks "they must have forced it on them" makes me physically ill.
Wait wait wait wait wait
A recent Atlantic column claimed society is allegedly "transing" effeminate boys. For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I wrote a rebuttal using my own experience as a young, closeted trans girl. xtramagazine.com/power/identi...
Instead of taking Live Nation-Ticketmaster to trial, Trump just let them off the hook.
The federal government had been building a case for years, and could have broken up the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly.
But Trump just let them settle out of court.

The taboo to not talk about politics is THE SAME THING as HR telling you to not discuss salary. It only advantages the people in charge.
Talk politics.
Talk salaries.
Blow up the system.

This is what they said about tariffs, too. We must all be willing to endure some short term pain so our dumbass president can implement the policies that will ensure long term pain.
βLike I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.β
Thatβs what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.
He wonβt be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will β and thatβs a sacrifice heβs willing to make.

If you're blue, and you don't know where to go to why don't you go where fashion sits?

Trump on terrorist attacks in America: βLike I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."
I'm very tempted to make a "died for our sins" joke here.
i feel strongly that anyone that thinks that there is a nefarious cabal of surgeons and doctors Transing people should be forced to try and schedule one (1) transsexual procedure
