A two-frame, black and white ink comic.

Frame 1:
Dog lays on the floor, an open jar of peanut butter between their paws, saying “It’s so weird how peanut butter tingles your throat”. In the background, Cat and Raccoon have paused playing with a cardboard box to stare wide-eyed at Dog. 

Frame 2:
Closeup of Dog frantically licking the peanut butter jar, trying to dodge Raccoon and Cat’s clawed hands, one of Raccoon’s hands has them by the ear. Large, unspecified dialogue reads “THAT’S A FOOD ALLERGY” and “STOP EATING IT OMG”

This Delaney Hall curfew likely violates both the U.S. and New Jersey Constitutions, and certainly violates them both by failing to exempt press. Press require sight and sound access to do their job. Think of them like a first responder, running to danger to keep public informed.

Hey, I know you're suffering because we waged a pointless, massively expensive, forever war that I promised would never happen if you elected us, and we did it without the slightest bit of preparation, which is compounding the pain, but hey, at least a bunch of foreigners are suffering more!

Racism has been central to Trump and his movement since he came down the escalator. He is a racist. His people are racists. His defenders are racists. His supporters are racists. His party is a party of racists. If they want to disprove that, they can. But it's important to know they don't want to.

Chatbots offer a magnificent bribe - a fast, frictionless route to information that bypasses the discomfort of learning. In this op-ed, we describe this as a Faustian bargain, in which we trade away what it means to be human & universities trade away their value www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Please speak up for Rodney. A year in an ICE camp is beyond comprehension. Public pressure works. If enough people speak up, a life may be saved. Many of the deaths in ICE custody have been due to medical neglect… let’s make sure Rodney isn’t one of them.
