His and Hegseth's understanding of geopolitics and war comes from 80s action movies and GI Joe cartoons.

I’m going to need that bat poster. Thank you. Also I’ve got 22 years experience in the position of dad. Most rewarding job ever.

Four-panel Dani & Lulu comic.

Panel 1:
Lulu sits at a table holding a crayon box, looking up at Dani with curiosity. Lulu asks, β€œWhat is this International Women’s Day, Dani?”

Panel 2:
Dani explains while passing paper to Lulu. Dani says, β€œIt’s a day where we celebrate women and all the stuff they’ve done. For a long time they weren’t treated fairly. Now we have a whole day to remind everyone that they should.”

Panel 3:
Lulu looks surprised. She asks, β€œNot treated fairly?” Dani replies, β€œStill not.”

Panel 4:
Lulu comments with earnest confusion, β€œThat’s weird. Not treating every member of your species equally is so alien to me.” Dani answers dryly, β€œWelcome to Earth.”

NEW COMIC!
Welcome to Earth

(Hmmm… I know I posted this today, but it’s gone? Oh well, now it’s later.)

I’m a little late with this, but I guess it’s still a good reminder.

You know what he wanted to say. Holy shit. This scares me but not in the way his kind might think it does.

I was about to post this very thing. Loved that game. In one of my comics I made a sneaky reference to it when Lulu wonders why the AI would lie about a cake recipe.

If I was still teaching I’d put this in the syllabus- as something not to do obviously.

I’ve always felt billionaires and other ultra wealthy have no concept of the value of a dollar. What ever they need or want is always just there so why would they?

If you only know me for my amazing social media presence, the book series that made my career is on sale for $2.99 in ebook form, that's all 4 'John Dies at the End' books, just search your ebook device for that phrase:

It is weird to me that used to be a thing. Maybe it still is?

Thankfully it has corrected all of that somehow.

From what I’ve seen it is mostly used as an advance grammar and spell checker. However I am sure it is being used to write papers and take online exams. 3/3

It added that I was also a comedian and writer for Cracked and Small Beans then finished with mentioning my 27 year career in the army and death in August 2023.

I read it during a staff meeting and was assured they would stop paying me. lol 2/3

It has permeated the university systems. I have not been forced to use it, but I did test copilot. I asked about me at the university. It started out with basic information, then made up projects I had nothing to do with. 1/3

I do recall the guy’s voice- still hear it in my head.

I’m surprised we have not had a movie or gritty modern streaming reboot.

The Eagles were awesome! One of the few sci-fi ships that looked plausible to my 10 year old brain back then and still today.

There was an episode where they were able to communicate with Earth. They saw pictures of a few cities that were domed and perched in the sky like the Jetson’s home. Memory is murky though. I don’t recall if they ever made it back- now I need to do a rewatch after 40 years. πŸ˜‚

That should have been β€œMe too” lol. I might need to just turn off spell check.

He too! Ken talked to them about the civil rights movements, racism, violence, etc… these were only the good old days if you were a child completely shielded from the realities of the world.

…the typical β€œgood old days” nonsense. Ken listened to them and set them straight. Well, I don’t know if they changed their tune, but at least he made his case that they were wrong about 50s/60s life. 2/2
