Comic. [Person is sitting at a desk with a laptop, turned toward voice coming from off-panel.] VOICE FROM OFF-PANEL: I got you the ingredients for dinner tonight. Oh, and the plums in the fridge drawer are for my yogurt tomorrow; you should just leave them. Be back later! PERSON’S THOUGHT BUBBLE: Oh no. [caption] Help. It actually happened. I shouldn’t.

Wahoo! Always a good way to start a day.
Here's hoping it carried on.

Rewatched this again last night after my trip to the People’s History Museum. It’s still just so so good.

Museum sign reads: “Abuse Of Power. Two hundred years ago Britain's political system was corrupt and controlled by a few rich men. Without the right to vote, ordinary people had no power to change their lives.”

Poster with a woman in factory clothing says A TRADE UNION PROTECTS HER. WHO PROTECTS YOU ? JOIN YOUR TRADE UNION

A large pink banner reads “lesbians & gays support the miners manchester”

Poster reads: WOMEN! BITE THE HAND THAT “FEEDS” YOU Pictured is a woman carrying groceries labelled as: Equal Pay 1979 SEX DISCRIMINATION ACT 1975 and EQUAL EDUCATION & EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES A hand tries to take these rights from her. Below her are dropped and broken groceries labelled 3 million unemployed Cuts in Social Services Closures of schools + hospitals nursery cutbacks RESTRICTED ABORTION SERVICES

Spent my Monday at the People’s History Museum in Manchester. What a glorious collection of activism.

Forever grateful to people who have fought for our rights through history, and forever powered by hope & rage.

Mark your calendars! We will be hosting the Game Update 7.8.1 livestream on February 25th at 1:00pm CT / 7:00pm UTC over on Twitch. www.twitch.tv/swtor

Headline from itv NEWS 'Bad things will happen': Trump launches Board of Peace with speech aimed at Iran

Board of Peace opens with threat

February 19: A Reminder That None of This Is New Some of America's most dreadful chapters unfolded on this day, and that trend continues in 2026

Every time injustice rears its head, someone says, “I don’t recognize this America.” February 19 tells a different story.

In 1923, SCOTUS denied Bhagat Singh Thind citizenship because he was brown. In 1942, Japanese Americans were forced into camps.

Read more in today's Let's Address This.

So the former President of South Korea has been sentenced to life in prison for insurrection, a former prince of England has been arrested for Epstein ties, but in the US Trump is freely blabbering and shitposting because he's protected by John Roberts and the Republican Party?

AXIOS: “The Trump administration is closer to a major war in the Middle East than most Americans realize. It could begin very soon.”

Is Iran in the Epstein files?

4-panel comic. (1) [Two people in a room with bed and nightstand. One person points at something on ceiling.] PERSON 1 with short hair on top of head: What’s that device? PERSON 2 with ponytail: Part of the supernova early warning system. There hasn’t been a Milky Way supernova in over a century. Astronomers don’t want to miss the next one. (2) [Person 2 sits on bed.] PERSON 2: 20 years ago, we set up a supernova alert system using neutrino detectors. It should give us a few hours’ advance notice. (3) PERSON 2: If it ever goes off, every astronomer on Earth will scramble to point their equipment at the sky. PERSON 1: Oh, Ok. So is that a detector? Or some kind of telescope? (4) PERSON 2 [leaving]: Fireworks launcher. I *refuse* to sleep through a supernova. PERSON 1: I think I’ll spend the night at my place instead.
