It's the Kansas Flu

Admissions and deaths by classification - US Army, 1942-45. Disease...14,969,028 Battle casualties...592,170 Nonbattle injury...1,995,398

I know it's already getting beaten to death this morning but the Army casualty figures from WWII are still stunning. 85% of hospital admissions were from disease, not injury. Imagine wanting to put flu back in the barracks.

Once voting opens, everyone who can vote should vote for Seanan for Best Series.

Why?

Well, aside from the fact that it's an awesome series, she will go into her local swamp in her ballgown. I want to see this.

Seanan + ballgown + swamp = happy Seanan.

A vote for Seanan is a vote for swamp fun!

Tove Jansson's criticised illustrations of Tolkien's The Hobbit Tove Jansson illustrated books of other appreciated authors during her career. One of them was J. R. R. Tolkien's classic The Hobbit.

The illustration for this week's discussion is, of course, by the incomparable Tove Jansson. Before she became world-famous as the creator of the Moomins, Jansson was a commercial illustrator who drew wonderful images for the Swedish translation of The Hobbit. tovejansson.com/hobbit-tolki...

Didn't-Earn-It hires think history they don't like is fake news.

I saw a headline
which alarmingly noted:
“Urgent warning
of long Covid symptoms
as number of cases
rise in UK,”
but here, across the pond,
things are quite different,
yes, here we know
that the way to avoid
a rising number of cases
is to just stop counting them.

We can all learn from crows.

OK, somebody more skilled than I needs to do a collage for this one.

Excuse you, they're both regenerations of the master😛

The Case For Columbo Columbo is the greatest detective in the world, and it is a travesty that there are 9000 Sherlock reboots and none for him.

This is amazing

You might like this 2014 piece that proposed a similar idea. It's haunted me for 12 years and I've never had peace because I've wanted it so bad; thanks for this marvelous addition to that 😝

Agreed!

Angela Lansbury as her iconic character J.B. Fletcher. I chose this picture because at a glance the glasses looked like a sonic screwdriver

Jessica Fletcher isn’t scruffy enough to be a Columbo but certainly another time lord to him

we all know I have no life, so:

All's fair in hate and war.

"I was ABSOLUTELY told that the Democrats would be bringing knives to the gun fight. What the fuck are they doing bringing guns?" --a whole lot of Republicans looking at the results from Virginia right now

"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–"

yes. kick em in the fucking balls. what kind of question is that. grow the fuck up

All's fair in hate and war.

This Scammer Used an AI-Generated MAGA Girl to Grift ‘Super Dumb’ Men A med student says he’s made thousands of dollars selling photos and videos of a young conservative woman he created using generative tools. He’s not alone.

How is it a scam, though? Sounds like they got what they paid for.

If they wanted to get away with something like this they should have painted the statute brown and raped it.

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

So, yes.

Damn, that's gorgeous! (Also, 🤤)
