I refer, of course, to the time Buzz Aldrin (age 72 at the time) cold-cocked a moon landing conspiracy theorist straight in his smug face after being accused of being a coward, liar, and thief.

Yes, someone was indeed dumb enough to tell a man so unafraid of death that he was willing to go into the void on a fragile explosive rocket, a coward.

Said dumbass was filming this confrontation as some sort of proof of moon fraud, but has instead captured this glorious moment of near-cosmic justice for us to loop for all time.

I used to use Google docs, but the white mode only was really annoying me (tires my eyes), so I swapped to Ellipsus (which I genuinely love and recommend), but it was bothering me a bit that I need wifi in order to use it, so now I switched to LibreOffice Writer, which I do like.

It very much has a Microsoft Word feel, but is open source and you need no accounts to use it. It's local on your device, so no AI can scan it, and no wifi is needed.

all the times i've said illiteracy is helping fash?

and that plenty of you are, in fact, functionally illiterate?

and that the corrupt state helped you along to this condition on purpose?

the nonzero number of notes from people who did not instantly clock this comic as an allegory: behold.

when you have no idea what a door is, or what a key is, or what glasses are, then you are effectively identical to this clean-faced dude.

and fash absolutely loves what you're doing with the place. sitting there not asking questions, or looking things up, or paying attention to context.

panel 1: catra and adora are asleep in bed in a dimly lit room. catra is curled up with her back to adora, who is lying on her back with her hands in fists, mumbling to herself.

panel 2: adora whips her elbow out sideways, shoving catra out of bed. catra has a little speech bubble with an exclamation mark, adn just her hand is visible clawing onto the pillow to try to stay on the bed.

panel 3-5: three tall panels side by side, showing a “THUD” from behind adora, then her going “pow... pow” in her sleep with her hands in fists, then going “hm...” as she happily rolls back on her side. catra’s sillhouette with bright glowing eyes is visible standing behind adora.

panel 6: catra with a very pissed expression stands poised to smack a snoozing adora with a pillow.

panel 7: catra and adora sit side by side at a table. catra has her hands over her eyes, ears folded down, and is saying “and that’s why we haven’t slept in days.” adora next to her is nodding repeatedly while spreading jam on a piece of toast from a jar labeled “space jam.”

panel 8: entrapta, using her hair to drink a tiny cup of coffee, asks “i don’t get it. why don’t you just sleep in separate beds?”

panel 9: catra and adora look at entrapta with disgusted and perplexed expressions. catra has one ear up adn one ear folded down. adora is holding a jam sandwich that she was clearly about to take a bite out of, dripping jam on the table.

The sharpest, best-trained pilots make worse decisions when they're tired or sick or stressed out, so there's two of them. The most dedicated and experienced air traffic controllers garble an instruction over the radio sometimes, so pilots are trained to always repeat clearances back to catch misunderstandings quickly. The best and brightest maintenance mechanic still overlooks a screw or misconnects a wire once or twice in her career, so aircraft systems are built with two or three or four layers of redundancy, and pilots are exhaustively trained to deal with failures safely.
