I’m always happy to see bad news for Tesla (and by extension, Elon), but they’ve survived so much despite their mismanagement it feels like we’ll never be rid of them.

And THAT’S how you lose holodeck privileges.

“Psst. Drop snacks.”

“Pick up a rifle and follow the yellow line. You’ll know when the test begins.”

Especially the version with carnivorous marshmallows!

“The Stanford marshmallow experiment was a study on delayed gratification in 1970 led by psychologist Walter Mischel, a professor at Stanford University.[1] In this study, a child was offered a choice between one small but immediate reward, or two small rewards if they waited for a period of time.”

The joke is that in this version of the experiment, the child isn’t being tested, the marshmallow is. And in this case, the marshmallow has decided to eat this one child instead of waiting until later, when it would have been allowed to eat two children.

Patrick McDonnell works in a very traditional comic strip style. He’s heavily influenced by George Herriman (Krazy Kat), and other cartoonists of that era.

I prefer to think of him as “Subject C”.

My bad, didn’t mean to steal credit. Not sure about cross-posting etiquette on Lemmy 😔

Gotta be careful with that stuff!

I think the thesis here (and backed up by the site linked in the first paragraph), is that Black women, after consistently showing up for progressive causes and democracy, are being encouraged to prioritize self-care at the moment, to avoid burning themselves out.

I take no stand on whether that’s a “good reason,” (I have no right) but that’s my reductive summary of the piece anyway.
