Funniest thing I saw today:
A Cybertruck was driving on a downtown Minneapolis street today. It soon found itself blocked by the No Kings protest, which was flowing down a cross-street.
You’ve never seen a car pull a u-turn so fast.

In the last three days, I’ve watched three different movies named Dead of Night.
One has a trucker-eating blood junkie.
One has a haunted golf ball.
One has Ed Bagley Jr.

More Minnesota Somali Muslims embrace dog ownership
Somali Muslim traditions consider dogs unclean. But some Minnesota immigrants — especially those with children pleading for pets — are reconsidering that.

I heard tonight that Christopher Mills has passed away. I did not know him well, but I did work with him on a couple projects (most notably, Femme Noir #1). He was always a gem to work with. May his memory be a blessing, and may his comics live on and on.
I only wrote about 100 comics in my so-called career, but now that I'm dying, I'm grateful that I got to do even that. Comics are such a wonderful medium, and they've always meant so much to me.

For some reason, I decided that I'd learn about the stock market on Wednesday. I put a negligible amount of money ($5) into a few stocks, then watched what happened.
What I learned:
* Line go up because capitalism
* Line go down because Trump say "tariff"
* Many hour lost b/c stare at line
