Before, political cartoons were shown primarily in a local context (or in international papers to an audience that was more aware of political things) so labels weren't needed. These days, political memes are disseminated online to an international audience who don't necessarily know what every single US politician looks like. I have no idea who the person on the left is without a label, for example, besides "that person who said 'we're all going to die.'"

This doesn't strike me as an example of over-labelling, the way that gets satirized in Kelly comics.

Your tone

It's text, and half the people on here have autism. Can we not?

I don't even have the sandboxed Play store and everything works. I use Aurora to download APKs for anything that isn't FOSS (which is like, two things)

I didn't even know religion existed until some new people moved in next door and their kid was super into Jesus.

Everyone at my work has been cyclically ill for years. Some of them have been continuously ill with a horrible cough for months at this point. I have not been sick. They all wonder how.

Hmm. I wonder how that could be?

I love the episode of DS9 where the Feds~~eration~~ are like "let's mine the wormhole!" and everyone thinks it's a great idea. I was like "wait, isn't that a war crime?" when I watched it.

Their monstous, civilian-killing weapons of fascism; our glorious, freedom-defending defensive grid.

Well, since we have suddenly started to equate the regime and people,

The reason people are saying that every Israeli is complicit is because they are literally all settlers living on land stolen from the Palestinian people. Iranians are not. And you can't even wash it away as "ancient history" because it only started in 1948, and it is an active process to this day (against "international law", for all that that's worth).

I don't even have one GB of data...

I don't know if any general-use tilesets show EN_US. I think you'd have to make a custom thing, which I don't know if you can even do with MapBox. Sounds like more work than a grift would want to put in.

Safer to watch it from the balcony than through a window, honestly.
