The ‘last of us”? … May be — “As it is, the GOP-controlled House of Representatives shows very clear symptoms of being zombiefied. Just yesterday, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy appointed Marjorie Taylor Greene as Speaker Pro-tempore. The GOP decision-making and behavior control mechanisms have been severely diminished. This is zombie behavior. This makes them easier prey for predatory fascists. This makes the entire US vulnerable.”
A statistically significant number of US citizens have completely lost their fucking minds. It’s perfectly reasonable to think of them as victims of Cordyseps MAGA. For the few remaining people who haven’t either played the game or watched the HBO series The Last of Us, cordyseps is the mutated endoparasitoid fungus that turns humans into hideous zombies (which, now I think of it, is redundant; there are no attractive zombies, are there).
Although it’s just a plot device in The Last of Us, cordyceps is real. In fact, there are several hundred different cordyseps species. A small number of them are parasitoids actually capable of affecting the host insect’s (yeah, it’s limited to insects) decision-making and behavior control mechanisms.

They didn’t believe none of that shit but they gave all of it airtime. In fact, Fox News is still casting doubt on the election.”
I don’t have a policy against drawing two cartoons in a row on the same subject, but I discourage myself from it. Does it sound like I talk to myself? I do. Right, me? Yes, he does that. It’s annoying. But even if I did have a policy against drawing on the same subject two times in a row, I’d break it at times when I felt it was necessary…and I think drawing a cartoon on Tucker Carlson today is necessary, even though I drew on him yesterday.
The reason it’s necessary is that the Dominion Lawsuit against Fox News has provided even more revelations about the network.
