I read it! Liked it! An extra good read for any young person in your life navigating a divorce, and perhaps EVEN MORE SO if a young person has a friend or acquaintance their age who is navigating a divorce. So basically, any young person in the world today. Solid storytelling-two thumbs up ✍️🥸👍

Aw thanks so much, Daniel!

I foolishly haven't read Cloud Town yet, but I'm excited to dive in!
A kid that that I tutor devoured his copy and gave it a stellar review.

36 people have died at ICE's hands in the past year

may of these deaths did not happen on camera, but it does not make them any less horrifying and unacceptable

this is a list of their names, where they lived before being abducted, and a link to crowdfunding if i can find it

Headline: "As Russia's war grinds on, it's society is fraying" Headline: "Justice in Venezuela"

Less than a week ago, the @washingtonpost.com reported about how an imperialist war of choice is doomed to failure and eroding quality of life for everyone in the country.
Today, they're reassuring us that imperialist wars of choice are Good Actually and always work out well for everyone.

Panel 1

Galen and Luna at a lemonade stand. A customer eyes the stand.

CUSTOMER
Aren't you two a little old for a lemonade stand?

LUNA
It's not a "lemonade stand" per se...it's more of a meta commentary on suburban America.


Panel 2

Luna

LUNA
Do you want it MORE if I tell you we made it ourselves our is that disgusting?
Do I look like someone you would buy lemonade from?


PANEL 3

Customer

LUNA
Is buying drinks off the street from a stranger acceptable in our current political environment?



Panel 4

Customer walks away. Galen looks at the cup he's holding.

LUNA
Perhaps we need to rethink our marketing strategy.


GALEN
I think we forgot to add sugar.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

"If Elon Musk thinks it's good, it's bad, and if Elon Musk thinks it's bad, it's good" is a pretty reliable rule of thumb.

Fair point...I didn't realize that a lot of the "recent" DC stuff I'd seen from him was repackaged older stuff.

I'm not really involved in "mainstream" comics (DC, Marvel, etc) either professionally or as a fan, but is there, like, a movement to get DC Comics to stop employing Chuck Dixon, a proud champion of fascist violence? They cancelled Gretchen Felker-Martin for far less.

For me, this is def the hardest part of working in comics and it's kinda wild people don't talk about it more.

Columbus Day - Wikipedia

Ever MAGA opinion is basically random thoughtless meanness, but it is very funny to see them pretending to really love Columbus Day, which became a national holiday because Democrats wanted to shore up support in immigrant communities during the New Deal.

White PDXers, now is the time to reach out to and be ready to close ranks around your BIPOC neighbors. You are the whitest metro city in the US, and that is going to paint instant targets on the backs of anyone who isn’t.

That was true in 2018, now I’m not so sure.

Anyone out there familiar with Highland Pro? It’s TWICE deleted all of the writing in a document for no apparent reason, wiping hours of work. Does this happen to other people?

I don’t want to give up on it because I like the UI and I paid for it, but I don’t think this is a risk I can keep taking.

While I got my knuckles rapped by corporate America for being rude and tasteless about a guy who dreamed of the stoning of me and everyone I love, Fox's Brian Kilmeade advocated explicitly for the state murder of all homeless people -- on live TV, no less -- to virtually no response.

The U.S. set the stage for a coup in Chile. It had unintended consequences at home When the U.S. role in the 1973 coup in Chile became known, activists took action. So did U.S. lawmakers. This is what happened after the U.S. helped topple a Marxist and aided a right-wing dictator.

Never forget "the other 9/11", 9/11/73, when the US backed a coup in Chile, murdering the democratically-elected President and establishing a disastrous military dictatorship.
