Whack Apps

I was trying to escape the news by enjoying the NHL’s 4 Nations Tournament, but since the USA is now a belligerent pariah state, that wasn’t possible. I’m glad Canada won. I hope we don’t have to change the name of poutine to “Freedom Slop” or that our northern neighbors get nuked.

Even my attempt to write some goofy jokes about apps couldn’t avoid the reality of our country’s rapid descent into authoritarianism. I was certainly not alone in being a Cassandra about the dangers of not prosecuting and removing everyone involved with January 6th from political life, but everyone with influence wanted to move on and pretend 2017-2021 never happened.

We’d be in a much better place if people listened to us instead of Chris Coons, who declined to call witnesses at the impeachment trial four years ago so he and the Democrats could fuck off for Valentines Day.

The Pacifists’ Playbook for Frustrating Fascists

With federal employees thrown into the chaos of this administration, a declassified CIA fascism sabotage guide has been making the rounds. Anyone who’s worked in an office setting should be familiar with these tactics. Instead of the one dumbass that’s employed in every office, it suggests everyone become one themselves. This is an excellent tactic when more overt methods can lead to immediate firings or worse.

If you’re not a pacifist, you could still use this advice to fight fascists, in addition to your fists. Theoretically. I don’t want to be accused of inciting anything against our dear fascist goons recently installed at the top levels of government who probably don’t yet know how to read this on the NSA’s computers.

I probably shouldn’t have used the obscure hockey term deke (a feint to cause your opponent to move in a desired direction) instead of American football’s play-actions, trick plays, sneaks etc. but I’m a sucker for alliteration. To use another Canadian term, sorry.

2025 Corporate Media Style Guide

After less than a week of insane (and illegal, if laws were still real) executive orders, the mainstream media has rolled over and showed its belly to the second Trump administration. The publishers and owners signaled this move was coming throughout the election, but to see them all become state media apparatuses overnight was jarring.

When these policies were first introduced to the public with coverage of Project 2025, the public recoiled, because it’s unpopular Nazi shit. The media gave Trump a boost by letting him claim he disavowed it, but now that he’s practically signing copies with each executive order, they’re desperately trying to spin their audiences into favoring it or pretending it’s not happening.

Unfortunately, mainstream media’s not the only one doing it. Democratic leadership seems to be using this same playbook instead of acting anything like an opposition party.

Evergreen Trump II Cartoons

I’m not going to repeat my 2017-2021 comics with weekly renderings of this bozo and his rotating cadre of fascist flunkies’ every outrageous move. Since the election, a lot of editorial cartoonists have almost gleefully returned to that era with nonstop “Can ya believe this?!” comics, and yeah, we believe it. It’s happened twice.

Pointing out the awfulness of the imminent administration is probably the most well-covered topic of the past decade. I’m almost as bored with the subject as I am terrified of what’s to come. I’ll highlight mutual aid and direction action, but will probably make more jokes about things unrelated to current events to give myself, and hopefully readers, a break from this shitty human being.

Congress’s Climate Quack

Read the comic on Patreon.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying more stupid, hateful shit, and it’s arguably not even the worst of the lies going around about the recent hurricanes and relief efforts. It’s especially demented to scapegoat innocent people when there are real humans to blame in the fossil fuel industry who’ve been denying what their own scientists have been saying about climate change for over forty years.

The climate crisis is here and now that denial won’t work, the conspiracy theories are going to do even more of the heavy lifting to stop what’s necessary to mitigate any of it; not to mention what they’ll do to otherize people forced to flee the next disaster or the countless ones that will follow.

Progress is being made though! The poorly named Inflation Reduction Act has done a lot to boost the already booming renewable energy industry. We just have to find a way to stop all those gains from going to A.I. so it can give dweebs a picture of Smurfette with big boobs.

Republican Stuntman Confronts His Fears

Read the comic on Patreon.

Republicans’ cruelty, greed, and ineptitude have been covered for years, with Tim Walz recently putting their weirdness in the national spotlight. But as the great political analyst Yoda once said, all this behavior originates from fear.

They are scaredy cats, whipping up their base of terrified suburbanites over imagined threats in order to win elections they know they can’t win on the merits. It would be one thing if they stayed in the bunkers while the rest of us live our lives, but they won’t rest until everyone’s as miserable as them.

I’d feel like I’m dating myself by referencing Evel Knievel or Super Dave, but Hot Rod came out this century, so I’m clinging to relevancy among the youths.

Hate Month Gear

After threats and cringey stunts from bigoted goobers, Target removed a bunch of items designed for Pride Month. They claimed it was for “employee safety” rather than caving to stochastic terrorism, but there’s no difference in practice. This follows Bud Light shamelessly backtracking on a promotion they did with a trans influencer. Now all of their beers are going to be covered in flags and Punisher skulls.

I hope everyone has a safe, wonderful and peaceful pride month (and life) except for cops, courts, and Republicans.
