1. The Dr Strangelove meme is great.

For those who never saw the film.

Slim Pickens as B-52 Bomber pilot Air Force Maj. T. J. "King" Kong, in the 1964 movie "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb,"

19. Was Homer a Slim Pickens fan?

[TexLaProgressive]

2. Great toons.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

3. There is a real JR-15 Wee-1 Tactical rifle being marketed. It has a skull with a pacifier on it.

Thanks for the toons JHB!

[niyad]

7. I am going to be ill.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

8. Brace yourself...

[niyad]

10. Dear Goddess, what the FUCK is wrong with those people??

And to think I once went off on toys r us for something called an uzi commando kit.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

11. The adult male market is saturated. Time to sell to the kiddies...

Gun manufacturers are following the same path as the tobacco companies. Once the primary adult market is saturated, you then start marketing to teens, or even younger.

[niyad]

13. And they are allowed to do so. Goddess forfend that we should interfere with

the sacred free market.

[ShazzieB]

25. Not to worry! They decided to tone down the marketing! 😉

They're still selling the gun, still marketing it for kids, but they decided to get rid of the skulls!

https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7vakd/the-jr-15-rifle-for-kids-is-back-without-baby-skulls-in-marketing-this-time

No more guns with skulls for kids...just guns for kids! Nice, huh?

4. In the police lineup, who is the person with the hoodie and

Number 3 upside down supposed to be?

21. Santos?

5. Boltzmann Brain kick to Actually-Man.

The Boltzmann Brain Paradox: An Animated Thought Experiment About the Hallucination of Reality

A pleasingly disorienting foray into the fundamental perplexity of life.

BY MARIA POPOVA

You look at a tree. That tree is reality — part of some external reality, and partial to some internal reality of its own. But the tree you see is entirely your mind’s rendition of reality. Consciousness is both the projector and the screen, rendering something you comprehend as a tree. In an absolute sense, then, you can never be sure that the tree exists outside your mind — there can be no evidence of it, for you are both the evidence-gatherer and the evidence.

That is what a thought experiment known as the Boltzmann Brain Paradox explores, inspired by the work of the brilliant and tragic Austrian physicist and philosopher Ludwig Boltzmann (February 20, 1844–September 5, 1906).

Continues w/links to details…

12. K & R...nt

[IronLionZion]

14. India got COVID under control quickly, the hard way

the virus spread through their population quickly and ran out of new people to infect.

Sounds like China is getting it now.

GOP would probably put Putin on Defense and Intelligence committees.

[2naSalit]

15. Thank you!

[jimmy the one]

16. McCarthy - Mouth of the Houth for two years

The Big Mouth of the Houth needs a colostomy bag to stick under his chin to catch what spits out of his big mouth on a daily basis.

[mountain grammy]

26. What's that around Santos' face in the first one?

A circle? The letter "O"? Why?

[JHB]

30. I think it's an astronaut helmet

McCarthy ridiculously put him on the House Science, Space and Technology Committee.

[ShazzieB]

31. Oh, that makes sense!

Yeah, I think that's what it is all right.

[eppur_se_muova]

32. And Rachel Maddow joked, "after all, he was an astronaut". nt
