Late stage capitalism:
A supermarket throws perfectly good food in the dumpster, pays its workers so little they can barely afford groceries, then asks customers to donate to the food bank at checkout.
And we're supposed to admire how fucking efficient this system is.

The “Shove the ballroom up your fat ass” guy, the “I’m here to see the MAGA cult up close” guy, and the “Trump flew on Epstein’s plane” dude have done more for Democrats this midterm season than Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer combined.

I really, really want folks to really think about the logic of this. It is not my responsibility to vote for the lesser of two evils that are both condoning and exacerbating genocide. It is INCUMBENT on the "two evils" not to be evil. I will not be supporting evil of any kind.

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
First observed in 2013 as Orange Shirt Day, it is a day for public commemoration, learning and reflection on the history and intergenerational trauma of the Residential School System in Canada.

🇨🇦 COMIC COVER CLASSICS
🦸 CAPTAIN CANUCK #1 — JULY 1975
For the inaugural edition of Comic Cover Classics, it seems only fitting to begin with one of the most unmistakably Canadian superhero debuts ever published.
Captain Canuck was a homegrown Canadian superhero series published by Comely Comix. Set in a near-future Canada, it followed Tom Evans, who became Captain Canuck after gaining extraordinary strength and endurance. The series mixed superhero adventure with espionage, science fiction, military intrigue and distinctly Canadian settings.
The very first issue introduced readers to Captain Canuck in “Arctic Standoff Part 1.”
A remote Canadian Arctic installation has fallen into enemy hands, placing the country in danger. Captain Canuck and his ally Bluefox are drawn into the crisis as foreign agents threaten Canadian security and the story begins establishing the larger world of intrigue that would surround the character.
The issue also included the opening instalments of the science-fiction feature “Jonn.”
And then there’s that cover.
Captain Canuck charges straight toward the reader in his bold red-and-white uniform, the maple leaf front and centre. There is absolutely no mistaking where this superhero comes from.
The cover was both pencilled and inked by Richard Comely, who co-created Captain Canuck with Ron Leishman.
The original Canadian cover price?
35¢.
Did you own Captain Canuck #1?
More importantly… do you think i could take him?
