1. Even Jiffy Lube is now saying you don't need an oil change every 3,000 miles (at the location I pass the most, business is so bad, there's typically multiple employees holding signs in front instead of servicing cars).

2. Marie Callender's declared bankruptcy and kicked out diners (and workers) mid-meal. (I sure hope my local store hasn't closed, I need the occasional French apple pie fix.)

3. "The Transportation Security Administration announced Friday plans to fire 36 Honolulu International Airport employees and suspend 12 more" for incompetence.

Link roundup

1. Ted Nugent paper doll.

2. Massive homeless encampment on Oahu.

3. I love Q&As about toy manufacturing:

Can you tell us why the SDCC Plastic Man’s stretchy arms are all one solid color? Why couldn’t his hands be flesh colored?

Good question! When you do a stretch accessory, it is not possible to do it in two colors. We looked into painting the hands flesh color, but the paint would chip off as it stretched. In this case the colors are limited by the action feature of the toy, not a design choice.

4. Chris Samnee is giving away a Thor sketch.
