It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I would like to see the next panel, it looks like he just realized something.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Does anyone have any issues with Instacart's website being hot slow garbage? Whenever I search, I press a key and the letters appear seconds later. No other website has this problem, and I'm running adblock and no script in Mozilla.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

People have talked about the character limits of Twitter aggravating conflict and hostility.  I wonder if there's a similar phenomenon caused by the camera phone.

Josquius

It seems to be such a thing for far right cunts to look smug and get out their camera phones whenever they get into an argument.
This dude though looks terrified.

Why do you assume people protesting masks are far right?

There were other clues from that particular demonstration.

And the UK one (though there were far left conspiracy folks as well) - like the BUF flag.
Let's bomb Russia!

Plus just look at where all the comments about the corona conspiracy are coming from. It's not the Bernie fans.

At the Berlin demonstration, you had a strange mix of Nazis and leftist, esoteric, anti-vax people. This latter group is in the tradition of Anthroposophy, which always had quite a following among left intellectuals here.

Not surprising.
Anti-vaccines, anti-5G people have lots of Greens among them in France as well, including politicians such as the newly elected mayor of Marseille or a Green European MP (deputy-leader of the list). The ™Big Pharma™ theme is very popular among them.

Josquius

Drawing awfully close to the fine people on both sides thing here.
Left wing lunatics exist definitely. Go watch that episode of Louis Theroux where he spends time with the survivalists in North Dakota....
But in terms of numbers we're talking 80:20 at best/worst.
