ComicsSky, I need some help:
Recently I remembered reading a unique vampire comic, but I don't remember its name and I haven't been able to find it again.
It starred a female publisher or editor who killed people who wrote bad vampire books via a stake through the heart...

Remember those smoking lounges in airports that were just glass cubes? Looked like the Scooby Doo gag where Shaggy cuts a block out of the fog.

I was trying to explain to younger colleagues the phenomenon of waking up, hungover, and showering to get the smoky bar smell out of your hair.

Used to go to bars in the middle of winter in Big 10 country without coat b/c you didn't want it to get all smoky & have to dry clean it.
Near frostbite, while waiting in line, was better than smelling like Joe Camel for multiple days.

I always think about this when people say we’ll never get rid of the guns. Big Tobacco was way more powerful than the NRA, and smokers wildly outnumbered gun owners. It just took the political will to do it.

Someone on this site posited that the rise of foodies in the US correlates with the decline of smoking in restaurants. Turns out food actually has taste!

I remember my folks saying "you kids are the only reason we started wearing seatbelts" because teachers taught us safety at school and we kept bugging our parents until they finally accepted it.
Grandpa on the other hand just cut the seatbelts out of his vehicles. 😀

My mom was so mad when seatbelt laws started. My dad has the same libertarian views, but he was a cop and had scraped enough people up off the pavement that he understood that seatbelts were good. She said seatbelts wrinkled her clothes and he told her that catapulting through a windshield will too.

We've been through it with light bulbs and seat belts and car seats and fossil fuel, et cetera and so forth. It's just exhausting dragging people kicking and screaming into any sort of progress.

The people who were apoplectic about not being able to smoke in bars and restaurants and indoors in general have no problem with government regulations, just government regulations they don't agree with.

And the negative things that the smokers promised would happen, like restaurants and bars closing down, never materialized. In fact, it's much more pleasant to go to a restaurant or bar now and not breathe in a bunch of stinky smoke air while i'm eating, and I say that as a former smoker.

When I was a kid I think all restaurants had both smoking and non-smoking sections, which is like having a non-peeing section in a swimming pool.

I'm old enough to have smoked in movie theaters & airplanes. In retrospect, I can't believe we were allowed to do that.

And bars! It was fun to take the newborn into a Berkeley bar in the months after the ban and have her lulled to sleep by the noise, taking comfortable in public health measures that cleared the air.

Those old photos of people looking cool by holding cigarettes casually at waist level meant they weren’t watching them and had them at just the right height to burn little kids on the upper arms as they walked by.

I went to school cigarette burns on my arms a couple of times because I ran into someone’s smoke when I was horsing around. It was acceptable then but child protective services would be called on my mom so fast today.

I have a temporary eye patch in one of our family photos because I ballerina-twirled into my mom's Marlboro Red when I was 3. It's just how we lived. I grew up on malathion and side-stream smoke so I know a Better World is Possible.

for anyone young enough not to remember -- YES everything smelled like shit. Every public restaurant reeked, every used car reeked, all used clothing reeked. Every piece of furniture or appliance that came out of a bar or restaurant was covered in a thick layer of tar and never stopped stinking.

if theres anything i appreciate from the new Superman movie, its the scene where its revealed all of the online superman ragebait was made by an army of monkeys. i think about that often when i see right wing influencer accounts that are later revealed to be paid-for from outside the US.

I don't like Romney. But having lived under him as MA Governor, I'll tell you this: If he changed parties, he wouldn't be Dem candidate in 2028 - but he'd c*ckblock Newsom out of the primaries in the Centrist Chosen One slot, and if he ran for one of these open Midwest or Southern seats he'd WIN.
Mitt Romney is in the New York Times saying we should tax the rich.
