Cartoon Saturday

I usually include ten cartoons in each Cartoon Saturday post, but after a week like this one I considered upping the number to powers of ten ...

The Iranian government continued its brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters, condemned by Der Furor, whose government continued its brutal crackdown on anti-ICE protesters in Minnesota; the "Justice" Department announced that FBI agents searched a Washington Post reporter’s home as part of a leak investigation into a Pentagon contractor, that it was investigating Senator Elissa Slotkin for appearing in a video reminding members of the military of their obligation to resist illegal orders, and that it would be opening a criminal investigation into elected Democrats in Minnesota; following a meeting with US Secretary of State Rubio and Vice President Vance, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Rasmussen said that Denmark and Greenland firmly reject Der Furor’s aggressive push to control the semiautonomous island; and in Los Angeles, a man has filed a lawsuit against his wife, claiming that her aggressive driving and confrontation with another driver provoked that person to shoot at her, killing their six-year-old child. 

This week, a collection of cartoons featuring a look at artificial intelligence, which is helping to fill the gap left by the decline of real intelligence in modern America. 

How religions start ...

The victims aren't always this obvious ...

The AI doctor will see you now ...

If you're low-tech enough, AI may not be a concern ...

No getting it back in the tube, unfortunately ...

Not always a good assumption ...

I used to think that "algorithms" were songs written by the former Vice President. My bad ...

Rewriting the classics ...

I think you're right ...

I'm not sure if he's describing an AI program or Der Furor's administration ...

And that's it for today's Cartoon Saturday - I hope it gave you a bit of a lift in these difficult times, when real intelligence is not easy to find.

Have a good day and a great weekend, and be sure to come back tomorrow for our annual Poetry Sunday salute to The Bard of the Yukon, Robert W. Service. More thoughts then.
