I like this and you might be right because there is no indication in the last panel that the creature is attacking them.

I think the joke is that he is solving climate change by releasing a monster to kill humanity.

Feet are a very common sexual fetish and this observation you made has been theorized to partly be responsible for that. Maybe those nerves from feet/genitals sometimes talk to each other.

It’s a map of the surface of one part of the brain. Imagine a Star Trek scanning beam going across your head from right to left, about where your ears are. This is a picture of half of that part of the brain (the other part is a left/right mirror image of this picture).

So the cells along the surface of the brain here are connected to the sensory nerves in your body and this is a map showing which body parts are where. So if you move to the top of the brain it is the area where you feel sensation from your abdomen. Go further down the side and you get to arms and then hands, then face. Notice that sensitive areas of your body are much bigger (hands, face) because a lot more brain tissue is devoted to those areas.

What if he’d had an allergic reaction on his way to the guillotine? Wouldn’t that be awful?

Lack of education

Let’s be fair though. He also came up with some great ideas like injecting bleach or using UV light “inside the body” or whatever.

/s if that wasn’t obvious.

I get why this is here but I think the comment he makes is a good call out of how the media uses things like passive voice (the suspect was struck by a bullet vs. police shot the suspect) to affect perception of the story. “Food hasn’t entered Gaza” vs. “Israel blocks food into Gaza.”

Edit to add: This is yet another example I just saw.

What I haven’t seen noted as much is that his imaginary dystopia seems to be, in large part, a pastiche assembled from past episodes of dysfunction. These episodes apparently became lodged in his brain, and perhaps because he’s someone who is not known for being interested in the details and who lives in a bubble of wealth and privilege, they never left.

This is probably true but it’s also a matter of what events are making popular news. I (like others I suspect) was aware of Detroit’s struggles from news coverage. But I was unaware that Detroit apparently now is on the rebound until I read this article. That sort of thing hasn’t made national news coverage. So I’m not sure it’s as simple as “Trump is unmoored in time” though I think that is partially true. I can’t help but observe that these anachronistic points that Trump is bringing forth all serve his narrative so I believe that at least some of this is deliberate.

I started the same thing earlier this year when my subscription to Prime was expiring. So far it really hasn’t been a big problem and has the nice perk that it encourages me to shop less at Amazon.

+1 for Winix. I’ve had several of the 5500-2 units for 2-3 years now. They do a good job and I appreciate that they have HEPA + charcoal filters so eliminates more than just particulates. My main complaint is that the lights don’t fully turn off at night so I always have to cover them with something (usually a T-shirt). Otherwise I really like them.
