According to Stan Lee, old comics ended most sentences in exclamation points as a practical matter, as small marks like periods could disappear in the mimeographing process. This became less of an issue by the 1970s, and was mostly phased out by the 80s.
I have a general comics question. Can you ballpark when the period was discovered and when every sentence in comics stopped ending with an exclamation point?

The pressure on female survivors of SA to publicly name and shame our abusers “or else he’ll do it again” is more misogyny. The pressure on women to sacrifice ourselves for community safety is disgusting. Any pressure should be the burden of the abuser and his collaborators.

"It's crucial that people get an influenza vaccine," says Scott Hensley, a virologist at the University of Pennsylvania. "And this might be a year that people might want to get a vaccine early."
An early flu season means it might be time to think about a flu shot
Flu season typically starts in October or November. But it looks like the flu started to pick up in September this year.

As of today, the CDC has changed (reverted) their Covid guidance to make the vaccine recommended for all people over 18. In addition to being a smart public health move, this recommendation also means insurance must cover it.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽♀️
