Las Vegas Raiders: Stars Of Week 1s Contest Vs Los Angeles Chargers, Via The Analytics

Week 1's results weren't what the Las Vegas Raiders had hoped for, but members of the Silver and Black still managed to shine bright...

Week 1’s results were far from what the Las Vegas Raiders had hoped for. Despite adding Georgia superstar Brock Bowers with the 13th-overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Sin City’s offense was disastrous. Not only did they total a mere 10 points throughout the entirety of Week 1’s contest, but the offense turned the ball over three times. At the game’s end, the Los Angeles Chargers walked away…

Young Nate: Do you think there's an evil Santa?

Young Guy: An evil Santa??

Young Buzz: Yeah, like Santa's deranged twin brother, or something! He'd make toys for all the bad girls and boys! Evil Santa would give all the dangerous, annoying, and corrupting toys your parents won't allow!

Young Guy: And if you're good?

Young Nate, bitter: He punishes you with shirts and underwear.

Thoughts on Hellboy? I feel like you don’t talk about indie comics much (some people don’t consider him indie but ehhhhh)

I’m not a fan simply because I haven’t had time to give him a shot, but my one friend likes him. She also likes Spawn, if you’re familiar with that franchise. I’m not, but I hear it’s good.

I’m honestly not sure what counts as an indie comic. For me, I view comics as DC, Marvel, and everything else. The only thing coming to mind for the “everything else” category is The Adventures of TinTin and Spirou & Fantasio. I’ve also been meaning to read GodSlap and Bone.

My one friend keeps telling me I have to at least watch the Invincible show, but all I’ve seen is the Atom Eve special (I heard she was autism-coded and I wasn’t disappointed. She is).

It’s probably my current sickness making it hard to think, but I can’t think of anything else at the moment. These don’t count as the same kind of comic, but comic strips I enjoy are Calvin and Hobbes, Pearls Before Swine, and Big Nate. When it comes to things like Peanuts and Garfield… this may be a controversial opinion, but things like the specials and shows were much funnier than the actual strips.

But, yeah. Those are the other comics I’ve read besides DC and Marvel. There’s also manga, but people get mad when you include that with comics, so I won’t.

[dramaisthelifebloodofgoodstories]

There's a lot of kid Azula takes that just make me wonder if the person saying them has literally ever met a kid. Literally ever. Like, forget not having siblings. Have you ever met a kid?

Because show AND comic kid Azula are pretty normal for a kid honestly. None of the stuff she does is something a regular kid her age wouldn't do. And a lot of it isn't even due to Ozai's influence.

Like, pranking is normal. It's actually a pretty common theme in a lot of stories for kids. You may want to check out Big Nate, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and Calvin and Hobbes if you don't believe me.

Deliberately breaking stuff is also normal. Honestly if you gave a random kid fire powers it's very likely they'd do a LOT worse than burn down some plants and poke their sibling who tattled on them.

And the name calling...Azula is practically an angel here compared to most kids. Zuzu is hardly the worst name Azula could come up with for her brother. Kids can be AWFUL in this regard.

And stealing stuff from parents is normal. So is pressuring friends into doing things that they don't want to do (I would know, I was victim of that before as a kid). It's pretty awful behavior of Azula, but it's not inherently evil nor is it Ozai's influence.

Admittedly, Azula thinking about someone's death may actually be Ozai's influence. But asking HIGHLY insensitive questions is normal for kids, and if a kid didn't do that I would be genuinely concerned.

April 3, 2024

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

APR 04, 2024

The election of 2000 was back in the news this week, when Nate Cohn of the New York Times reminded readers of his newsletter, using a map by data strategist and consultant Matthew C. Isbell, that the unusual butterfly ballot design in Palm Beach County that year siphoned off at least 2,000 votes intended for Democratic candidate Al Gore to far-right candidate Pat Buchanan. 

Those 2,000 votes were enough to decide the election, “all things being equal,” Cohn wrote. But of course, they weren’t equal: in 1998 a purge of the Florida voter rolls had disproportionately disenfranchised Black voters, making them ten times more likely than white voters to have their ballots rejected.

That ballot and that purge gave Republican candidate George W. Bush the electoral votes from Florida, putting him into the White House although he had lost the popular vote by more than half a million votes.

Revisiting the 2000 election reminds us that manipulating the vote through voter suppression or the mechanics of an election in even small ways can undermine the will of the people.  

A poll out today from the Associated Press/NORC showed that the vast majority of Americans agree about the importance of the fundamental principles of our democracy. Ninety-eight percent of Americans think the right to vote is extremely important, very important, or somewhat important. Only 2% think it is “not too important.” The split was similar with regard to “the right of everyone to equal protection under the law”: 98% of those polled thought it was extremely, very, or somewhat important, while only 2% thought it was not too important. 

Recent election results suggest that voters don’t support the extremism of the current Republican Party. In local elections in the St. Louis, Missouri, area on Tuesday, voters rejected all 13 right-wing candidates for school boards, and in Enid, Oklahoma, voters recalled a city council member who participated in the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and had ties to white supremacist groups. 

Seemingly aware of the growing backlash to their policies, MAGA Republicans are backing away from them, at least in public. Earlier this year, Florida governor Ron DeSantis called for making it harder to ban books after a few activists systematically challenged dozens of books in districts where they had no children in the schools—although he blamed teachers, administrators, and “the news media” for creating a “hoax.” 

Today, lawyers for the state of Texas told a federal appeals court that state legislators might have gone “too far” with their immigration law that made it a state crime to enter Texas illegally and allowed state judges to order immigrants to be deported. (Mexico had flatly refused to accept deported immigrants from other countries under this new law.) Nonetheless, Arizona legislators have passed a similar bill—that Democratic governor Katie Hobbs refuses to sign into law—and are considering another measure that would allow landowners to threaten or shoot people who cross their property to get into the U.S.

Indeed, the extremists who have taken over the Republican Party seem less inclined to moderate their stances than either to pollute popular opinion or to prevent their opponents from voting. 

While Trump is hedging about his stance on abortion—after bragging repeatedly that he was the person responsible for overturning Roe v. Wade—MAGA Republicans have made their unpopular abortion stance even stronger. 

Emily Cochrane of the New York Times reported today that the hospital at the center of the decision by the Alabama state supreme court that embryos used for in vitro fertilization have the same rights and protections as children has ended its IVF services. And on Monday, Florida’s supreme court, which Florida governor Ron DeSantis packed with extremists, upheld a ban on abortion after 15 weeks and allowed a new six-week abortion ban—before most women know they’re pregnant—to go into effect in 30 days. 

In the past, people seeking abortions had gravitated to Florida because its constitution upheld the right to privacy, which protected abortion. But now the Florida Supreme Court has decided the constitution does not protect the right to abortion. Caroline Kitchener explained in the Washington Post that in the past, more than 80,000 women a year accessed abortion services in Florida. This ban will make it nearly impossible to get an abortion in the American South. 

Anya Cook, who in 2022 nearly died after she was denied an abortion under Florida’s 15-week ban, gave Kitchener a message for Florida women experiencing pregnancy complications: “Run,” she said. “Run, because you have no help here.”

Extremist Republicans have managed to put their policies into place not by winning a majority and passing laws through Congress, but by creating cases that they then take to sympathetic judges. This system, known as “judge shopping,” has so perverted lawmaking that on March 12 the Judicial Conference, the body that makes policy for federal courts, announced a new rule that any lawsuit seeking to overturn statewide or national policies would be randomly assigned among a larger pool of judges. 

On March 29, the chief judge of the Northern District of Texas, where many such cases are filed, told Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) that he would not adhere to the new rules. 

Rather than moderating their stances, extremist Republicans are doubling down on their attempt to create dirt on the president. With their impeachment effort against President Joe Biden in embarrassing ruins, House Republicans are casting around for another issue to hurt the Democrats before the 2024 election. 

Jennifer Haberkorn of Politico reported today that in the last month, House Republican Committee chairs have sent almost 50 oversight requests to a variety of departments and agencies. Haberkorn noted that there is “significant political pressure on the party to produce results after months of promising it would uncover evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors involving Biden.”

But it is Trump, not Biden, who is in the news for questionable behavior. In The Guardian today, Hugo Lowell reported that Trump’s social media company was kept afloat in 2022 “by emergency loans provided in part by a Russian-American businessman under scrutiny in a federal insider-trading and money-laundering investigation.”

There is more trouble for the social media company in the news today, as two of its investors pleaded guilty to being part of an insider-trading scheme involving the company’s stock. They admitted they had secret, inside information about the merger between Trump Media and Digital World Acquisition Corporation and had used that insider information to make profitable trades. 

Meanwhile, Trump is suing Truth Social’s founders to force them out of leadership and make them give up their shares in the company. His is a countersuit to their lawsuit accusing him of trying to dilute the company’s stock. 

Of more immediate concern for Trump, Judge Juan Merchan denied yet another attempt by Trump—his eighth, according to prosecutors—to delay his election interference trial. The trial is scheduled to begin April 15.

Finally, in an illustration of extremists aiming not to moderate their stances but to impose the will of the minority on the majority, Republicans are putting in place rules to make it easier for individuals to challenge voters, removing them from the voter rolls before the 2024 election.

Marc Elias of Democracy Docket noted today that states and local governments have regular programs to keep voter registration accurate, while right-wing activists are operating on a different agenda. In one 70,000-person town in Michigan, a single activist challenged more than a thousand voters, Elias reported, and in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, right-wing activists have already challenged 16,000 voters and intend to challenge another 10,000.

One group boasted that their system “can and will change elections in America forever.” 

Rather like the election of 2000.

Nate Hobbs And Rookie Defensive Back Shine During Raiders' Monday Practice

It might be a new week, but it's the same story for the Las Vegas Raiders throughout training camp: Defense, defense, defense.

It might be a new week, but it’s the same story for the Las Vegas Raiders throughout training camp: Defense, defense, defense. Last week, defensive back Jakorian Bennett built on his superb minicamp by starting off strong in training camp. This week, rookie safety Trey Taylor and veteran cornerback Nate Hobbs both made their presence known on Monday. Taylor, who tasted momentary internet fame for…

here’s a bunch more DCSHG art!  I don’t draw these characters much anymore since the show has ended and I’ve moseyed on to other things, but it was nice to revisit them once again.

I really liked the concept of Jess having two moms, despite us not getting to learn much about them in the show itself. I can only guess what their personalities could have been, but I like to think they could have been a lot of fun if given time to shine.

also the last comic’s script is shamelessly stolen in part from Cul-de-sac, which is a comic strip I will always tell people to go read if you like Calvin & Hobbes, Big Nate or if you just wanna read one of the best newspaper comics ever made

[diltonsstrangescience]

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen a comic book character insist that a plastic jacket will magically raise the quality of their book report by a few grades. I’ve seen it in Big Nate comics, and probably Calvin and Hobbes, and I bet there are others…

Why is this such a universal idea? Did this actually work? Did teachers really go “ooo, the paper is shiny, I’m giving this one an A+!” I find that improbable.

The French version will eventually be made. I know the comic’s title won’t be translated as the phrase is intrinsically English (something like Calvin and Hobbes can be translated as Calvin et Hobbes but the Big Nate books were always called Big Nate in my experience).

I figured I’d start with Volume covers as I don’t have names for any of the comic characters or a solid idea of what the comic would be like (as I’ve concentrated on stuff in the actual game for obvious reasons). May also change the author’s first name as it's a little young for a comic that's meant to have been around for a while.

I need to figure out a way that the logo would fit on the side of the volume but I may just make a plain text version of the title for that purpose. I used my Garfield tomes as a reference for size and stuff, but the measurements didn't turn out as expected. Not particularly bad, just not what I was going for.

I have a good idea as to where I’d place a box of these. Not sure if I should put the French versions in the same box or sneak them in somewhere else.

I also found the names of all the companies involved in the story, which is nice. Colour Burst for the printing press the game takes place in, Creepy Crawly Comics for the comic company and the bad guys (it's kind of a parody of Paws Inc, though I like to imagine that CCC has a couple of other comics apart from Buggin’ Me, unlike Paws Inc). Not sure if I’ll be keeping my initial name for the game, being Insectarium. Because while it fits perfectly, it’s not a unique title either (ex: something like Silent Hill is a unique title). I’ll have to brainstorm it.
