“This Modern World” added to comics aggregator
By way of penance for not removing JumpStart from my comics aggregator much sooner, I have added Tom Tomorrow's This Modern World. It comes out early Tuesday mornings. There's also a "(1-day delay)" version in case you like to read your comics in the middle of the night and don't want

Copaganda comic strip JumpStart removed from comics aggregator
With its advocacy of "community policing" and "broken windows policing," JumpStart crosses my line, from a wrong but tolerable portrayal of American policing, to outright copaganda. I will no longer facilitate its dissemination.

Neighborhood CVS reneges on agreement to allow neighbors to park in lot, has them towed
Chapter 3: The Verdict
Alas, the magistrate ruled in favor of CVS, so I’m out the $150 towing fee, plus the $4.60 for the letter I sent them demanding reimbursement, plus the $40 small claims fee. D’oh.

Newly released details about the recent LastPass security incident are bad

A brief review of “Leopoldstadt” on Broadway
Executive summary: "Leopoldstadt" is a good but not great play and certainly not one of Tom Stoppard's better scripts. Standing ovations no longer have any meaning on Broadway. COVID is not over despite the fact that theater audiences want to pretend it is.

How to ensure that I won’t want to work for your company
AgreeYa sends me email claiming that I applied to work for them, but I didn't. The email is riddled with errors. Their home page is riddled with errors. When I attempt to reply to their email and ask which job I applied to, my reply bounces.
