@mike808 ??? I use a mac and safari and haven’t set anything to do anything other than the default. It downloads when I control click trying to get it to open in a new tab rather than do what usually happens which is open the image in a new tab. It says it is a file format that preview doesn’t recognize yet it is jpeg or is damaged. Go figure. All I see is a small blue square with a ? in the center of it.
Yes it does suck. And to think you paid a hefty premium for that innovative suckitude.
Perhaps Meh’s tech team could:
a) allow .webp, (and .webm?) media in addition to the usual .png, .gif, .jpg (and .mp4?), and
b) Assign developers other than the fine folks that built the Fuku/IRK/Mehrathon load-balancing revenue avoidance system (with Captcha for extra transaction failure functionality!). Give the ~new folks~ fresh meatbags a chance to fail bigger, faster, and in more epic ways.
@tohar1 I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a political cartoon that was funny.
I feel like maybe I saw one once, but I don’t remember enough about it to know it wasn’t just a dream.
@tohar1 I don’t know. I have my own political ideas, and it’s not always my ox that’s getting gored, but I’ve never in my life seen any humor in any political cartoon. I’ve never seen one that was insightful or presented an interesting perspective or just made me chuckle.
I feel it’s telling that “Ograbme” is presented as an important example of a historical political cartoon.
@medz So just playing devil’s advocate (a bit), but to your point, I hope you’re not implying that any politician or even political party can claim “a Veil of Lilly White” when it comes to inviting & embracing if not outright peddling influence. The D’s are masters of it, they are just NEVER called to account for it.
Seriously, my conversations with people around politics have gotten a lot less stupid as I’ve gotten better at not making unsubstantiated, especially broad, statements. Most people aren’t unwilling to hear a calm description of something specific.
I thought the humor in the cartoon was that they got the colors backwards. (Seriously though, it’s a couple pretend people parroting propaganda. Where’s the joke?)
@tohar1 I’m sure there is shady stuff that happens on both sides, but the stuff Trump does and asks for in public is bad enough. I can’t imagine what sort of stuff is going on behind the scenes. We can’t just turn a blind eye to the stuff we (and the whole world) knows is going on.
I’m not going to admit anything and you can’t make me
That doesn’t think this is funnier.
@mike808 Image is missing and won’t open in a new tab either.
@Kidsandliz Fixed. You are filtering your interwebz.

@Kidsandliz @mike808 Apple doesn’t yet support (if they ever will) Google’s webp file format.
@mike808 It actually says ‘Big T’ on it! XD
@Ignorant @mike808 Well that sucks!

You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.
@Ignorant @Kidsandliz
See repost below with a real jpg.
@mike808 there’s nothing funny about tools left out in the rain.
Hmm I guess it’s just beat up. Looked like rain to me.
Both images in this thread are pretty damn funny.
Except we don’t have Mother Nature to go to when they won’t behave and play nice.
@themutilator Mehrhehe Christmas!
@themutilator ohhhh I think I have to make that into a t-shirt for my kid who is taking chemistry this year!
@mikibell @themutilator
I got mine this one.
@mike808 @themutilator oh groan… I could make that one too…
working on this one right now:
@mike808 @themutilator yup…my poor child now has a puny pink shirt!
Reposting for @kidzandliz.
That doesn’t think this is funny.
@mike808 Ok, that was worth it.
I find this one to have more humor…
@tohar1 I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a political cartoon that was funny.

@Limewater Note: In my post I mentioned “more humor”. I didn’t say it was funny…Much like politics, it depends on whose ox is getting gored…

@tohar1 Yeah, so funny…beat him at the ballot box when he is inviting and embracing foreign influence in the election. Hilarious.
@Limewater @tohar1 Limewater is great at parties.
