Anybody have kids who've done the CIEE summer abroad program? Alternately, are there any teenagers on this website for 38-year-olds who've done the CIEE summer abroad program recently? What were your experiences? Worth doing? Not worth doing? Secret child labor scam? My older kid is interested.

"The purpose of these schemes was found to have been to artificially inflate the club’s revenues, and reduce its costs, by more than £900 million." That is an absolutely massive sporting fraud. www.premierleague.com/en/news/4727...

Premier League Statement: Manchester City FC
An independent Commission has found Manchester City FC guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules over a nine-season period, and the majority of charges in relation to its failure to co-operate with the League’s investigation.

I get the desire for a club-owned, soccer specific stadium. But for me personally, unless there were massive improvements to public transit between Seattle and Renton, this would mean giving up season tickets. Plus having to endure the inevitable nonstop "Renton Sounders" jokes

Don't be fooled by the cute face. In the last 2 weeks, this creature has killed and eaten his entire janitorial staff. Two amano shrimp. A detritus worm. At least one ramshorn snail. (He's sizing up another one here.) Now there is algae growing everywhere. Whose fault is that, buddy.

Past the equinox and the garden is still chugging along. (Though I won't show you the sad state of the vegetable bed.) We're on an urban heat island, so we often have something in bloom through October and even into November, though it'll start slowing down as we lose the light.

This sums up my own experience in recent years. My theory is that there are so many genuine existential crises right now that people's instinct is to treat even low-stakes issues (movies! fandoms! personal preferences!) like existential crises. Makes having a normal conversation almost impossible.

As a creator/publisher: I'd REALLY like for Sweet Shop to work out. Post-Amazon buyout, Comixology died on the vine. It's a non-service, at this point. Sweet Shop is run by ppl who actually give a crap about comics and want to make it easier for people to read them. So grab some ultra-cheap books!

The Spirit from September 22, 1940. Art by Will Eisner and letters by Sam Rosen.
The cover shows that Spirit having just been caught under a spotlight. He is looking up at the light and behind him is his logo in large letters. Underneath is says "The well known crime fighter known to the world as The Spirit, is in reality Denny Colt, long believed dead. From his big laboratory in Wildwood Cemetery, he secretly aids society in its war against the forces of evil......only Police Commisioner Dolan knows the Spirit's true identity." In the bottom right corner, there is panel showing the Spirit climbing over a wall just in time to witness a gang killing as a car drives by a man on the street and he is about to be gunned down.

Panel from Superior Foes of Spider-man, drawn by me, color by Rachelle Rosenberg. Shocker is having a tough conversation with the severed head of Silvio Silvermane. It's in his shitty Brooklyn apartment, in front of a couch upholstered with the same yellow and brown fabric as his shocker costume.
