According to Reddit posts where I first saw this linked it’s from 2000. Here’s the artist’s page, didn’t see a date attached to it there unfortunately.
I was mostly referring to the quality being shitty and less-so the content of the edits themselves.
But also leaving the artist’s signature on an edited comic and not mentioning it’s modified feels shitty too. This isn’t a meme or political community so I’d think posting the original is more appropriate anyway.

A 3 day old account that only posts clickbait links to 2 domains, n24hr.com and sciinsider.com – I wonder if there’s any connection.

S04E02, ~33min into episode. Conversation between Firecracker and Sister Sage.
Firecracker:
Purpose. I sell purpose. These people got nothing. Maybe they lost a job or a house or a kid to Oxy. Politicians don’t give a shit, mainstream media tells them to be ashamed of their skin color, so, well, I bring 'em together, tell them a story, give them a purpose. Which would you rather believe? That you belong to a community of warriors battling a secret evil, or that you’re a lonely, inconsequential nobody that no one will ever remember?
In a Neal Brennan stand-up special (Piped link) he mentions he uses a Pavlok to shock him every 3 minutes on stage to remind him to smile.
Can they just insist it’s pronounced like jimp and sidestep the issue? Imgur, .gif, GNOME, GIPHY get to set their own rules on pronunciation.

I heard of it from a Reddit comment about an easter egg location in Diablo 3 called “The Fowl Lair.” It’s filled with chickens and a single Greasy Pig.
The fable of the Chicken and the Pig is used to illustrate the differing levels of commitment from project stakeholders involved in a project. The basic fable runs:
A Pig and a Chicken are walking down the road.
The Chicken says: “Hey Pig, I was thinking we should open a restaurant!”
Pig replies: “Hm, maybe, what would we call it?”
The Chicken responds: “How about ‘ham-n-eggs’?”
The Pig thinks for a moment and says: “No thanks. I’d be committed, but you’d only be involved.”
I thought I was polite in my initial request that they cut back on linking their site, I don’t recall ever suggesting people collect their pitchforks and torches. Please be more dramatic :)
I’m just not interested in having another source of non-stop (undisclosed) advertising trying to appear as organic engagement and am announcing it publicly in the hopes that they either limit their use of it or to at least make others aware what the user is doing.
It would be one thing if they were announcing they own the site but it’s the only place they link to and it gets shoehorned into multiple communities with calls to go visit it.
Please consider not constantly trying to self-promote your website.

There’s a video by a designer talking about some of the symbolism of Ellie’s journey (Full talk video here – SPOILERS for the film in both).
And also an insightful YouTube comment(!) someone made in response describing their interpretation:
"This is one of the most thoughtful and insightful reviews on deeper film meanings I think I’ve ever seen. In keeping with the rebirth symbolism, I would offer the following possibilities.
There’s undeniably imagery of execution and rebirth simultaneously occurring within the same frames! The filmmakers did an outstanding of capturing some very compelling storytelling while inserting remarkable symbolism."
I’m not going to try to convince you otherwise but I just want you to recognize that your position is that you’re ok with “bad” people being killed as a form of punishment and mine is that ensuring that label is always appropriately applied is an impossibility.
I don’t like the thought of terrible people getting to continue to live if they’ve done irreparable harm to others, but I’m also not ok with saying that we totally need to burn THAT WITCH because Goody Constance totally witnessed them communing with the devil.
Osama/Hitler getting killed in military action - fine. An abused child/person killing their attacker - look the other way. Giving Edward Snowden lethal injection because he totally deserves it for endangering Americans - not acceptable.
Don’t know anything about him beyond this YT clip, but I’m hoping someone has eyes on Kline Preston:
