I know this means well, but please remind yourself and others that white people are not soon to be a, much less the or the most ethnic minority in America. Great Replacement is bull and so is counting all nonwhite people as a single group opposite whites.

Austin’s only and oldest queer and feminist bookstore was vandalized this weekend. Someone threw a hunk of concrete at the Pride flag painted on their front window, smashing it and damaging the inside of the building. This would be an amazing time to show them some love. Ebookwoman.com

I need y'all to understand what the NYT, Dem donors, and centrists are doing here. They're pushing the narrative that trans people went too far and we deserve what is happening to us. It's pure victim blaming and it's not done yet, there's a Confessore piece in the works with the same framing.

Post-Bloomsday anecdote: My great-grandmother on my mom's side apparently had only one off-color joke she would tell, and that was the joke that appears in Ulysses about making water and making tea, but not in the same pot.

Archie Goodwin's time on Detective Comics is one of the strongest runs anyone has had on Batman, not just as a writer, but an editor. Toth. Chaykin. Aparo. Simonson. Goodwin used an amazing selection of artists (only barely missing having the first Frank Miller Batman in the mix).

Anyone wondering if David Watts is a gay song, this is a paraphrase of it's origin: I wanted my brother to marry this beer guy so I'd have free beer but instead I wrote a song about the school head I crushed on but used beer man's name because I still see mine all the time.

I fully believe in holding people accountable and that extends to me really making fun of any of you who think serious drinking or a commitment that heroin, professional speed use, or daily meth intake can't facilitate an otherwise sharp person believing some real dumb stuff with their whole heart.

Flight of Bones is such an off comic. Brainchild of the fake geek girls artist who complained Jenette Kahn didn't deserve to work in comics. Three people credited for story. That artist gone halfway through. A dig at chaos magick. Inconsistent narration, misattributed dialogue, meandering non-story.

LAPD shoves an unhoused woman to the ground so hard her skull cracks open and she’s knocked unconscious. They then carry her to the curb, prop her up and abandon her. Witnesses took her to the ER.

Really impressive how A.G. Sulzberger has completely trashed what credibility the New York Times had remaining.

Remember how songs used to be misattributed in patterns back in the early fileshare days? Coffee Shop Girl was by Ozma, every Ozma song was by Jack Off Jill, and all parodies were Weird Al Yankovic? Stand up jokes are like that today. Badum-tsssssssssss...

There's not actually a lot of difference between this and what the 80s were, really. The decade of Flash Gordon, Superman III, Look Who's Talking and Oliver & Company, and of so many 50s-themed movies and 50s-revival movies was just like this.

Sometimes some of you think I make fun of Kurt Vonnegut too often. I don't make fun of him enough.

I'm not getting in on this part early, but I am bemused by the hate and the dismissal of Alto Knights. I'm on say nice things about it mode purely in response to "I thought a Barry Levinson movie based on a nonfiction history would have more fights" or "Can't believe De Niro is in a long movie."

RIP to Nina, a woman who "in the 1970s repudiated the widely-held and unfounded belief that women could not and should not run such races of 26.2 miles." People literally claimed that our uteruses would fall out. The 1,500, just short of a mile, wasn’t added to the Olympics until 1972

This won't stop Marvel from publishing a promotional comic in which the superheroes support active military action or fail to quibble over whether or not Latveria's new leader counts as a legitimate head of state or a supervillain. Fine, fine, but why draw attention to the lampshade you're hanging?

The advice in this article simply isn’t true in our current environment. The expert quoted here: “And there’s nothing wrong with asking for some identification. A real-life police officer is going to be more than willing to take that extra step to identify themselves.”

Also, let's not forget David (Dave) Thorpe came up with 616 as the number of the Marvel Universe in a scheme of alternate universes. A good section of what is credited to a particularly famous writer, re Captain Britain stuff, was generated by Thorpe or Alan Davis. Give due.

The only 616 Day mentions I've seen are to make fun of it. And, fair. Bloomsday is over 100 years old know, and while there's not a ton of crossover, I like to think there's enough, there's a few people going, Sorry can't make the Marvel parade, I'm cooking an unspeakable breakfast and saying YES.

Redbelt is such an interesting movie top me, because it's an explicitly right wing martial arts honor movie that isn't about a teacher needing to beat up high schoolers, as is the usual.

Deadnames are still deadnames when the person is dead, more than triply so when no one is going to recognize that name. "Birth name" means nothing. It's just a weird move to own someone you don't own.

Should I redo my long look at Heroes Reborn, with the Doomsday comics & later revelations taken into account and the bit about sales that annoyed Rob Liefeld fixed? Bucky being a mix of Sue Richards & Spider-Man?

Governor Newsom may defend us in speech, but he's voting to kill. His proposed budget for 2026 targets elderly, disabled, and undocumented Californians, and strips them of access to healthcare.
