December 2nd marks the day John Brown was granted martyrdom in the great abolitionist cause.
His epitaph read:
I have fought a good fight.
I have finished my course.
I have kept the faith.

this is good, but also: there's more sleight of hand contributing to the comic's persistence
because you likely *have* experienced something like this:
"Can I interest you in our new special?"
"Would you like fries with that?"
"Are you a Rewards Member?"
the comic conflates Options with Upsell

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Look at this image (and thread - use the translate service).
This one reads along the lines of:
"..Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) without cleaning.
In just 15 minutes of acquisition, we counted 1,659 satellite trails (about 400 individual ones).
Words cannot describe the pollution of near space."

3/4. En esta imagen se muestra el mismo campo estelar del Cometa C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) sin limpiar.
En solo 15 minutos de adquisición, contamos 1659 trazas de satélites (unos 400 individuales).
Sobran las palabras para describir la contaminación del espacio cercano.

longtime followers know this is legitimately, essentially the crux of my take on the two shows. the Munsters unsettle their neighbors because they are Physically Other. the Addamses unsettle their neighbors because they are Culturally Other
The Munsters poses the chilling question, what if your parents were a vampire and a Frankenstein? The Addams Family poses the chilling question, what if your parents were openly sexual?
