SATURDAY CARTOONS: YOU HAVE SURVIVED ONE-TWELFTH OF 2021. CONGRATS!: FEBRUARY 6, 2021

 

Stilton says:

Even the New York Times ("Catching Birdcage Droppings Since 1851") concedes that our nation is currently plagued by fake news. You know, nonsense like "there were election irregularities," or "Antifa and BLM caused billions of dollars of damage last summer," or "Hunter Biden's laptop contained a metric assload of incriminating evidence against his father, not to mention numerous pictures of drug use and kinky-to-the-point-of-illegality sexual hijinks." 

Indeed, it was the NY Times which helpfully pointed out that the alleged "laptop" was just a figment of Russian imagination and that there is no such person as Hunter Biden and hey look over there, an insurrectionist squirrel!

But while many people complain about fake news, only the NY Times has the chutzpah to demand a remedy for this scourge. And their remedy is this: "The Biden administration (needs) to put together a cross-agency task force to tackle disinformation and domestic extremism, which would be led by something like a "reality czar."

Theoretically, this Reality Czar could look at conflicting "news" stories and decide which should be allowed to circulate, and which should have their authors shot. For instance, AOC has breathlessly told and retold the story of how she was nearly killed by a screaming mob of Ted Cruz-directed murderers during the Great Washington Trump-Inspired Insurrection of 2021, while more conservative (and thus less trustworthy) news outlets are reporting that she wasn't even in the damn building.

This is where a Reality Czar could step in and make sure that no one ever hears anything that makes progressives look bad, no matter how well documented. There would be no more confusion about what news is or isn't true because, by government mandate, anything you're allowed to hear would be "true."

Or at least true enough to be useful to the powers-that-be.

Dang, miss that Trump gusto!

What I would give to see Dinklage doing some dark punk! I bet he emoted and was fabulous to watch.

China, along with several other countries, have now banned smartphones in school. This is one of the reasons.

I have a feeling his last name is Cohen.

Choked on my tea over this one!

Illuminati style to the max. However, this was Queen Victoria's mourning mask for funerals. AMAZING craft.

Twitter did not keep me around long. I was locked out again last week; I don't think I will work too hard to get back in. It happened when I was sharing photos of otters with someone!

Penguins mate for life. This young male and old female lost their partners within weeks of each other and became simply best friends.

Yes, this is actually a topic of discussion.

This cowboy is 79 and he still patrols his Wyoming ranch daily.

I hear she has caved and blames Facebook for everything. It influenced her too much. Sigh.

It is a crime to sit on this South African beach. The entire planet is being locked down.

A view from Sean Connery's palace. No one wants to buy it!

Wasps.
