Today has been a tough day. Emotions are high and people are hurting. They’re scared. They’re angry.
It’s ok to take a break.
It’s ok to log off.
It’s ok if this has caused a flare or taken all your spoons.
Whatever you’re feeling is ok.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

When people argue that renewable energy sources are too expensive, remember that we don’t invade countries to seize wind farms and there are no solar cartels. Fossil fuels have enormous geopolitical, public health, and climate externalities.

![BRETT: Hi, I’m Brett! For the last cartoon of the year, I thought I’d give you a peek behind the scenes of Doom Loop
-For starters, let me just say I’m gonna miss Mayor Bruce a LOT [portrait of Bruce that says "Better Things Aren't Possible" with candles around it]
-His need to be liked plus his devotion to a deeply unpopular status quo made him a reliable font of hilarity
-when i first started doing this cartoon people would accuse me of constructing strawmen to ridicule certain civic attitudes
-so I’d like to thank NIMBYs of Seattle for being more unhinged than anything i could ever make up [NIMBY 1: We have to preserve the sky!] [NIMBY 2: Think of the poor baby orcas!]
