America is a country that will test UBI hundreds of times, get the same radically positive results each time, and still look at it askance, but will also put untested robotaxis on the road because a billionaire threw a shit fit.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

This year we learned about the Norwegian tradition of Teeny Tiny Christmas and have decided that it should apply to all holidays and also most other things.

Reminder Superman is not a power fantasy, he's an altruism fantasy.
The idea of someone with godlike powers using them solely for good (with an antagonist who is a billionaire, who by definition do the opposite) was dreamt up by Jewish kids in the 30s and its just as if not more relevant now.

Name (better yet - show) a cover that grabbed you at the spinner rack. Maybe something you didn’t know about, or intend to buy… but then you were beset with “Oh my! What is this??”
Here’s one for me, from 1976. Rich Buckler and Joe Sinnott on the picture work.
