I no longer think Zohran Mamdani is cool now that I have found out he is three years younger than me. All politicians should be 36 or older.

If nothing else these crossovers have created some absolutely incredible covers

Probably the thing I’m most apprehensive about with F4 is that it seems they are destined to lose. Either Galactus leads to the death of their universe or they save the world from Galactus and the planet still dies. I don’t know how you ride that line of empty victory to a satisfying conclusion

Did Benjamin Grimm grow a rock beard?!

It’s actually easy

At a certain point, I have to imagine these same talking points get boring or something for even people in the cult. Like, everything can’t be the end of the world. “Man they can’t all love Hamas right?”

A fun thing about American politics is that more people voted in New York City in a June primary than live in five states that get two senators.

seeing the first signs of Woke 2

Wanted to make sure Luke felt special on his birthday today after the baby was born and he’s been a good sport about the attention. Because I am somehow raising a boy who loves all sports we took him to Top Golf which has a fun Sonic the Hedgehog game on their screens. 4 years old already!

I thought Maury died

Wasn’t able to watch the Phillies tonight. Seems like it was a bummer of a game.

Buddy Kennedy has a chance to do something very funny

Don’t functionally care too much who is mayor of NYC but it’s nice that Cuomo, a rich man who was forced to resign in disgrace after his governmental neglect during COVID killed innocent people and sexual assault misconduct, is probably going to lose

let a thousand challengers fucken bloom

Have had to watch a lot of bad kids shows in the last four years. The Lion Guard? Surprisingly pretty good. Gets dark! They bring the ghost of Scar back from the dead in an occult ritual and he’s voiced by David Oyelowo.

NYT Opinion gearing up to write one million more annoying articles

Andrew Cuomo has slipped on a banana peel and died

Absolutely… Work in progress cover ✏️

Send Buddy back to the minors

this is my local ice cream guy! he’s great! everyone loves him! fuck these fucking assholes! free enrique

That’s Bulbasaur

Just watched a Zohran speech for the first time, because I’ve been ignoring most of the posts about NYC for weeks on principle. That should be the future of the Dem party, imo. All about labor and against billionaires. Good stuff. Good orator, too.

This image is now absolutely everywhere over European media lmao

I think the only productive lesson you can really take from Trump is that people like what they perceive as personality and authenticity so no, she should not apologize for it.

For @defector.com, I tried to figure out what's going on with John Fetterman's political memoir, ghostwritten by Buzz Bissinger It may not shock you to learn that Fetterman and Bissinger haven't gotten along (to put it politely), according to my sources defector.com/nobody-wants...

Won’t be satisfied until Big Balls is locked up

This is despicable

A U.S. citizen on their way to work abducted by ICE then locked in a basement, with federal government employees refusing to consider indisputable proof of citizenship. Congress endorses it. SCOTUS keeps thwarting judges from even slowing it. What more is there to say? We live under fascism now.

Do we know who the new mayor of the USA is yet

I know we’re going to see the most exclamation points ever put in an issue solicit when we get to Amazing Spider-Man #1000.

The most important part of republican fascism is the demand you must be nice to them.

In the 20 years I've been working in comics, I've heard a lot of tips, tricks and advice-- but some of it I had to learnt he hard way! So, here are 20 things that I've learned that I wish I had been told when I was first starting out (but wasn't!).

some people are going to make fun of the small crowd but those people have never experienced everything else Oklahoma City has to offer on a Tuesday afternoon

It’s not so much that Bluesky is alive or dead but that the Twitter era is dead and some people are really stuck on Anger and Bargaining and Bluesky is acceptance.
