For anyone confused, this is a reference to Crank mah Hog, the biblical city and its king from the Apocalypse to which George Bush Jr was referring when he tried to get the French president Jacques Chirac to join the Second Gulf War.

Among the classics from the 60s, I'd also add Thelonious Monk, Arts Bakey, then the Headhunters, and Sun Ra's Arkestrs. That's a period with a lot of diversification (free jazz, bebop, funk jazz, Afrofuturism...). Earth Wind and Fire is also funk jazz.
There also Tito Puente from Puerto Rico, which leads me to transition to the caribbeans. Outside of the US, you have of course Compay Secundo and the Buena Vista Social Club, and also Juan Pable Torres in Cuba. Caribbean Sextet in Haïti. While we're in the Caribbeans, Ska is also derived from jazz and Rocksteady and Reggae are in turn derived from it, try older Ska bands like the Skatalites, that's where it's most obvious.
In Africa there's Manu Dibango from Cameroon, who blends some trafitional music influence, also Mulatu Atatske from Ethiopia (who's still alive and kicking), then you have the whole Afrobeat genre starting in Nigeria with Fela Kuti (early Afrobeat is still really close to jazz, though modern Afrobeat, which is closer to hip-hop).
That's those I know best among the classics (I'm not sctually a huge expert despite my tirade, I may have been exagerating a bit because I got defendive and also as a joke). But if you search almost any country name and add "jazz" after it, you'll certainly get a result (the only time I failed was when I tried Bhutan, and I still think they likely have jazz somewhere, it's just hard to find).
My favorites among the recent ones are Shabaka Hutchings from the UK and, Thurgo Théodat from Haïti (not super famous, but really good, I've actually heard him play live). Mulattu Atatske has also done stuff recently, and sun Ra's Arkestra still exists.
Also, since nobody plays jazz alone, once you found a jazz player you like, a good way to find more is to see who they've played with. If it's a band, see the members and what other band they've played in!
Shake it shake it shake it shake it shake it feel good
The previous emperor had rejected the 1848 attempt at unification from the Frankfurt National Assembly even though it planned on making him emperor of the Germans, because it was too progressive and he didn't have enough control over it, so I'm not 100% sure blood and steel was the only option.
Well, countries are all more or less delusions, yet made more or less real by the authority of states.
The real delusion in this story is that German is a language. From what I've heard, take three Germans from different regions, all speaking their mother tongue and they'll have just as much trouble understanding each other as three Spaniards from diverse parts of Spain†. But while the Spaniards will be well aware that one of them is speaking Galician, one Castellan and another Catalonian, each German is convinced that he's speaking German and that the others are speaking German in a weird way. Spaniards will likely speak Castellan, if not as their first then as their second language. Germans will all be familiar with a standard German but not really identify it as a distinct language from their own. Same story in Italy.
†: Assuming none of the Spaniards in the example are Basque.
What even are words? Pieces of long dead people's thoughts, which we assemble as grim puppets to replicate our own thoughts in a form that we hope others will comprehend? To hell with this, return to grunts and screams.
They're also not birds. Or ladies, for that matter.

Well, there's certainly a double entendre in chosing it as the name of a satellite, but it definitely comes from the name of tgat comic book character. Which itself is a play on asterisque (this symbol: *), which, of course, comes in turn from aster as you said.
His compagnon Obélix has a name which works on two levels: It can be seen as a play on obelisk (he is himself a sculptor of menhirs, which are vaguely similar to obelisks), but "obèle" is also the French word for the dagger symbol (†), which is an alternative to the asterisk.
If you mean as the artist, just work in high resolution in the first place.
If you mean using AI upscaling on someone else's webcomic that's already been shared several times and lost quality along the way before reposting, that's because it can cause aberrations and sometimes looks uglier than a low quality webcomic. Better to reverse-search it with tineye to find the original, which should be in good quality.
Good question. From a quick search, this doesn't appear to be true, protestants were overrepresented in both the Nazi party and their electorate ; so that'd make it rightfully controversial.
Maybe you have a more reliable source than the ones quoted by wikipedia ? Or maybe the scope of your statement is different than the one dealt with in this article (like fascists as a whole and not just nazis)?

No, that's fake news. What he said — he said you hear me ? He said he was gonna lower the price of eggs. And he did, it's tremendous, the eggs... They're cheaper than ever before. And they're huge, huge eggs you wouldn't believe it. I saw an egg.. hear me, an egg that was so big it made Xi Jinpin afraid. Bigger than Greenland, and it was a cheap egg, a proud American egg. But now people don't want cheap eggs, they want cheap gaz. Because that's what woke Biden told em to want. /s
