The saturation of sports betting not just in ads between innings, but *during* the actual #MLB #Playoffs broadcasts is really turning me the F off. Sports Betting & Polymarket/Kalshi crap need Tobacco-level advertising regulations.

Wilber was finally able to undergo surgery on Thursday—11 days after he was shot. “When ICE can shoot a man in the back and then barely give him any medical treatment and let him suffer, there’s a reason for that because we have gotten to a point where we see people as less than human.”

Austin man has surgery 11 days after being shot by ICE agent
The surgery on the Venezuelan national, who has been in custody since his Sept. 20 run-in with an immigration officer, removed the bullet lodged in his back.

This week's comic on the pleasures of grocery shopping in 2026
Mr. Mrs. Perkins go grocery shopping 2026


Wasn’t that lettuce recalled for gut-exploding bacteria?

They said it might be OK in this state…

And look, it’s on sale!

Bags of lettuce from Grody farms 25% off



My, things have gotten expensive. Mr. P looks at Tariff Cheese priced $79 per pound

Looks like we can only afford the industrial poultry. Mrs. P looks at the Sad chicken section where

Thighs of Despair are offered at $3.99 per pound



This breakfast cereal used to be $4.50 for a large box. Now it’s $9 for this. Mr. P is holding a tiny box of Honey Chomps


This one is now priced by the flake. Mrs. P is holding a bag of cereal that costs 10¢ per wheat unit


Both look at hot dogs of dubious origin

Cheap

You’d never know the stock markets at an all-time high.

Yeah, it seems the supermarket has hit an all-time low.

Once upon a time ppl were led to believe that Anonymous was out there ready to be the hightech, antifa guerrilla force we needed to expose wickedness and corruption and/or do something about it. It’s been awful quiet so I guess they are not doing anything and were never going to. Disappointing.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

I drove to NYS & on the highway I saw diesel advertised for $7.49/gallon on the way there & $7.19 on the way home. If this were pricing that reflected real costs (including environmental harm & human health) that’d be one thing. Instead it’s because a violent demented man had a grudge & weapons. 🫠

The greatest trick the racists ever pulled was making racism a matter of their fucking feelings. Racism & white supremacy are about arrangements of power, opportunity, & advantage—who gets them, & who doesn't. This blindspot is a function of "racist" being turned into a slur...so media won't use it

Journalists need to stop describing these incidents in terms implying software has agency and intent. It does not. The people who created a faulty and dangerous product are the ones responsible for whatever happens, and must be held to account, with punitive financial penalties for damage done.

When your government says it’s planning to open multiple prisons that will house up to 3,000 children, it’s time to demand a new government. There is no context in which this is legitimate or acceptable.

At local comic shop on Tues chatting w/mgr as he stocked inventory. He barely took the Red Sonja omnibus by @gailsimone.bsky.social out of the box & I told him I’d take it. Read so many great things about it, and it was amazing! All that and a keg of ale! 😊 scghobby.com
Photo of the cover of the book The Complete Gail Simone Red Sonja - Omnibus. The background of the cover is white and there is a silhouette of a woman with long hair, midair. She’s swinging a sword in one hand & an axe in the other, both dripping, presumably in the middle of a fight. Gail Simone and the image are in red. The other lettering is in black.
