Top 3 comics of the week: - Flash #35 - Superman #40 (both these books have regular laugh out loud moments. North’s Flash in particular should be getting lots of eyeballs) - Bloodland #5 A great final issue in Swamp Thing #91 as well, what a cool mini that hopefully gets Eisner love next SDCC.

This is fucking appalling, and Democrats and ~small-government~ Republicans should be shutting the government down over this ongoing, pointless, expensive, anti-freedom, anti-democracy move by Trump. This is not a legitimate use of the military, and everyone knows it.

The National Guard Bureau will spend $292 million to provide a "long-term housing solution" for thousands of troop members deployed in DC in "apartment-style lodging units"

"Well this is awkward". The US used to to make 95% of international cars. Now about 18% and falling. ICE cars are low tech, high pollution & too expensive to buy & run. US makes 5% of EVs. China makes 75%. Oops. #Time4ChangeUSA #TheTankIsEmpty #2026MidTerms ⚖️ 🇺🇸

Automakers in shock as China takes over

In June, a bulk carrier made an unprecedented delivery of EVs to Australia, sounding an ominous warning to the world's automakers.

Almost done with my read through of THE WICKED+THE DIVINE. The series is like night and day post-<REDACTED>’s return around issue 20. Glad I didn’t give up on it.

Top 3 comics of the week: - Assorted Crisis Events #9 (and still the best book on the market) - Banana Number One #1 (specifically the Mark Waid/David Lapham second feature) - Deathstroke: The Terminator #5

Top 3 comics of last week (caveat that I haven’t gotten to Swamp Thing, Summer of Supergirl, or a Conan I randomly picked up yet): - Flash #34 - Superman #39 - Absolute Superman #20

Top 3 comics of the week: - Lobo #4 - Absolute Green Arrow #2 - Concrete: Stars over Sand #1 One of the harder weeks in awhile, great editions of Deathstroke and Absolute Batman out as well.

Turns out the loud minority isn't the country. Most solar projects break ground without anyone raising a sign. Full story electrek.co/us-solar-opposition-study-umass-amherst/
