I Will Never Forgive Trae Young For Surpassing Kobe Bryant's Career High For Assists In A Game Eight Times | Defector Kobe Bryant was not just some normal NBA player. No indeed: He was the second-best shooting guard in the history of the Los Angeles Lakers franchise, and something like the 11th-best Laker overall,…

This is a game that has had to be played a lot in recent years and this means September is even more the home of wishlist projects and purchases that you never know if you'll have money for and you can't be certain until everything else is done.

This gave most people a very, very compressed window to spend compared to normal where you'd have 12 months. In many cases about June onward did you have a true idea of your money for the year and it needed to be spent before October.

It is also important to note there was never an official budget last year, just a CR and that wasn't finalized as a CR that would just go all year until March, which is strikingly late. Once that is passed, agencies then have to sort out how the budget gets distributed.

Size 14 had a song called Claire Danes Poster that got some pretty decent play for a bit where I grew up.

Aftersun, Happening, How to Have Sex, and Never Rarely Sometmes Always are movies from the last few years I think about all the time

First Cow And Mikey and Nicky (not here but other Elaine Mays are and are also great) are better movies about male friendship than men have made.

I know journalism is a rapidly deteriorating industry, but it also feels like fighting a losing battle when folks on here are mostly sharing articles to dunk on them, rather than solid pieces from journos and critics out here trying our best every day to stay working and writing

As someone who was alive and engaged with media criticism in 2008 I can tell you in 2008 when stuff like this came out it typically lead to a lot of, "What is this? 1988?"

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON

This cartoon has four panels, each showing a different scene. In addition, there’s a small “kicker” panel under the fourth panel.

PANEL 1

The panel shows a counter at a fast food restaurant. We can see a couple of customers, and a couple of workers. The workers are wearing hats that very vaguely resemble hamburger buns. A sign on the wall shows a smiling hamburger with eyes, below the caption “Soilent Green YUM.” A smaller sign says “SAFETY” in larger letters followed by tiny print, which says “is a word we use a lot so you can’t sue us.”

The worker at the cash register is turning to speak directly to the reader.

WORKER: To get an official photo I.D., I have to go to the nearest government office, which is 90 miles away, and I don’t have a car, and even if I did my boss won’t give me a weekday off.

PANEL 2

We’re in what looks like someone’s back yard. In the foreground is a garden, with some sort of plant being grown in tidy rows. An elderly woman is kneeling on the ground in front of the garden, wearing a floppy straw hat, an apron with a floral patter, and holding a trowel. She speaks directly to the reader.

WOMAN: I can’t get I.D. without a birth certificate. But when I was born home births didn’t get birth certificates.

PANEL 3

A mover wearing jeans and a black tank top is carrying a sofa as he’s talking to the reader. 
MOVER: The state charges $60 for a driver’s license…. but first I’d need a copy of my birth certificate, which is $30. I can’t afford 90 dollars to vote!

PANEL 4

This panel shows the interior of a coffee shop. A man and a woman sit together at a table. They're both looking at their devices, him annoyed, her dismissive.
MAN: Why wouldn’t anyone be able to get an I.D.? Idiots!
WOMAN: People like that don’t deserve to vote.

SMALL KICKER PANEL UNDER THE BOTTOM OF THE CARTOON
The man from panel 4 yelling at Barry
MAN: If it’s easy for me it must be easy for everybody! That’s just science!
