I only watched clips and read articles about the Senate Judiciary Committee’s confirmation hearings for Ketanji Brown Jackson. A gross spectacle that I don’t know how anyone managed to watch it all, let alone participate in it like Brown Jackson was forced too. After the run of Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and […]

Senate Hearing Content Warnings

Funding for COVID mitigation didn’t make it into the recently-passed spending bill. Pretty great timing, as we’re about to reach 1 million official COVID deaths in the United States, and the BA.2 omicron variant seems to be fueling another surge just as every level government is throwing mask-burning parties instead […]

Newly Diagnosed Ailments

Republican states are wilding out with anti-abortion, anti-gay, anti-trans, and anti-everyone-who-isn’t-them bills. With a Supreme Court ready to rubber stamp them, the only legislative way to stop them is for the Democratically controlled federal government to pass a law. That’s not going to happen, so it’s up to those of […]

Creeping Fa-SHUSH-ism

Russia invaded Ukraine while I was drawing this. Not good! I’ll do a cartoon about it if I think of anything more insightful than that. I don’t usually watch local news, but we have another winter storm coming, and was curious what the snow totals would be. There were lots […]

Pricing Panic!

Starbucks franchises across the country are unionizing, and the company is not pleased. Same with REI, and countless other places where people have been forced to deal with our most terrible citizens throughout the pandemic. Their coffee stinks, too. I’m not a total Boston stereotype, though. Dunkin’ is much worse. […]

Starbucks’ Union-Busting Tactics

Joe Rogan’s been spreading misinformation throughout the pandemic, and it seems to have worked. States everywhere are currently lifting meager mitigation measures while around 20,000 people are still dying every week. All the hateful and dumb shit on his podcast precedes the pandemic and Spotify knew who they were giving […]

This marks twenty years of me making fake Valentine’s cards for cartoons. I might’ve missed several years when I was on the NYT grind, so don’t quote me on that. I had a cold this week that was surprisingly not COVID. While I don’t recommend getting sick, any excuse to […]
