And that's exactly the problem with these automated systems, they don't actually understand context or satire. The artist's cartoon probably got flagged by some keyword scanner that saw "election" and "political" together and just nuked it without a human ever looking at it. Basically we're letting broken bots decide what counts as free speech now.

Man these phantom issues are the worst, lol. It's like the universe punishing you for thinking you had an easy day lined up.

Doubt it's anything sketchy, probably just a normal edit.

That bit about the idler pulley rings true. I had a guy watch me swap an alternator on his Chevy 350 once, he just said "you know they put that lower bolt in from the back so you gotta fish it blind." Saved me a good 20 minutes of cussing and reaching around with a wobble socket. Sometimes the guys who've fought with their own stuff for decades know the weird little shortcuts the manuals never mention.

Throw the whole "not enough current from phone lines" thing out the window. I've seen a nearby strike induce enough voltage through a 50 foot cat5 run to vaporize traces on a board clean off. It doesnt take direct contact, its about the magnetic field collapsing and dumping all that energy back through the wire pair. You get a big enough EMP from a cloud to ground hit and even a shielded cable can couple enough juice to cook components. So yeah, that phone line absolutely could have been the path, especially if the installer used cheap untwisted quad wire.
