IDENTIFIED Aerial Phenomena

Read the comic on Patreon.

Balloon panic is in its second week, and we’re probably a week away from a drone strike on a science fair. I can see my apartment on Google Street View, so a spy balloon would have to float through my window to invade my privacy any further.

Neither party wants focus on the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. Republicans because they’re against any remedies such as regulations or paying rail workers decently, and Democrats because they just busted a rail strike that was seeking to improve the very conditions that led to this crash.

Joe “I’m a train guy” Biden’s next choo-choo photo-op is gonna be awkward.

Culture War Activities

Republicans riling up their base about stove regulations or sexy M&Ms is preferred over the past few years spent inciting them to commit terrorism against human beings. The latter isn’t culture war, just straight up war-war.

A lot of stuff gets lumped into “Culture War” because media considers it frivolous, even if it’s a serious issue with life or death consequences. They’ve probably already defined it down to include everything that isn’t about actual war or our precious economy. Or the Royal Family, who I’m still hearing about for some reason.

2023 New Year’s Resolutions

I’m abstaining from making any predictions about 2023. Not for lack of any ideas where things are headed, but because I don’t want to be too much of a holiday party pooper.

I’ll let COVID, RSV, and flu do that.
