Bit abstract and creative colourful painring of the city of Rovinj with the mainly pink coloured ocean in the foregound and on the right, and the colourful houses and church of Rovinj on the left. The sky is painted in diagonal rather thin brushes of soft shades of yellow, orange, blue, pink and purple.

Another astute observation from the always great @jensorensen
political cartoon: PUNDITS PAVE THE WAY TO HELL IT'S OBVIOUS AN INSURRECTIONIST SHOULD BE ALLOWED ON THE BALLOT! I BELIEVE IN PLAYING BY THE RULES. EXCEPT WHEN SOMEONE TRIES TO APPLY THEM TO TRUMP. THEN THEY AREN'T RULES ANYMORE, BUT PARTISANSHIP. UNLIKE SOME INTOLERANT PEOPLE, I RESPECT THE RIGHT OF THIS TANK TO RUN OVER ME. AUTHORITARIANS ARE PEOPLE TOO. PEOPLE WITH FEELINGS. WE SHOULD GIVE THEM A CHANCE. OR TWO. I DON'T LIKE TRUMP, BUT I REALLY DON'T LIKE PEOPLE WHO HAVE INSULTED ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SO I OPPOSE ANYTHING THEY SUPPORT. IF THAT MEANS LIVING UNDER A DICTATOR, IT'S THEIR FAULT! SORENSEN © 2024 Jen Sorensen - Be a subscriber! jensorensen.com/subscribe

In the third panel I was thinking of centrist pundits who blame the left for being "intolerant" of Trump and the alt-right, but this strip could certainly apply to other flavors of Trump-sympathizing reactionaries.

Latest comic on pundits still making excuses for Trump

#fascism #authoritarianism #democracy #journalism #media #insurrection #election #politics #cartoon #comic

PUNDITS PAVE THE WAY TO HELL 1. It's obvious an insurrectionist should be allowed on the ballot! Pundit: I believe in playing by the rules. EXCEPT when someone tries to apply them to Trump. Then they aren't rules anymore, but partisanship. 2. Pundit: Authoritarians are people too. People with feelings. We should give them a chance. Or two. 3. Pundit standing in front of tank: Unlike some intolerant people, I respect the right of this tank to run over me. 4. Pundit sitting at table with laptop: I don't like Trump, but I REALLY don't like people who have insulted me on social media, so I oppose anything they support. If that means living under a dictator, it's their fault!

This is funny, but @Teri_Kanefield has a good explainer why this probably can't work — or if it does will lead to a new arbitrary power for the state.

@iam-elegance@diaspora.psyco.fr Voting in a democracy is collective responsibility. A community coming together to clean up the rubbish and plant trees in a public park is collective responsibility. Raising a child from the family to public schooling is a collective responsibility!

It's not a matter of getting it perfectly right, but of remaining engaged because we care. And if we care, we correct and learn from our mistakes, then move on.

Cheers i operate differently, though, of course take action or support those whose actions feel resonant.

I remind myself instead of this: diaspora.psyco.fr/posts/104279…

We give so much power away to politicians etc, though, I do resonate with your tree stuff and taking responsibility for the children procreated.

This I encourage parents to do for themselves instead of expecting everyone else to do it for them (teachers, kindies etc) once they have spawned their children. Choose carefully before you procreate. Are you willing to take responsibility for cultivating a "beautiful human being"?

I have to leave it here, as I have no way of really explaining, in a way that is comprehensible for everyone. ✌️

Abstract The observation of individuals attaining remarkable ages, and their concentration into geographic sub- regions or 'blue zones', has generated considerable scientific interest. Proposed drivers of remarkable longevity include high vegetable intake, strong social connections, and genetic markers. Here, we reveal new predictors of remarkable longevity and 'supercentenarian' status. In the United States, supercentenarian status is predicted by the absence of vital registration. The state-specific introduction of birth certificates is associated with a 69-82% fall in the number of supercentenarian records. In Italy, which has more uniform vital registration, remarkable longevity is instead predicted by low per capita incomes and a short life expectancy. Finally, the designated 'blue zones' of Sardinia, Okinawa, and Ikaria corresponded to regions with low incomes, low literacy, high crime rate and short life expectancy relative to their national average. As such, relative poverty and short lifespan constitute unexpected predictors of centenarian and supercentenarian status, and support a primary role of fraud and error in generating remarkable human age records.
