This is so illuminating. It’s all meaningless to them

They should invent a haircut that lasts forever

This comic rocks lol

Almost forgot to post. Brand new street art in Pilsen just dropped: 18th & Western #Chicago

Clois. #Superman

Lex Luthor is doing the evil thing I care less about, as a distraction from the evil thing I care more about.

I love to lock up the impulse purchases shelf.

I’m so mad. This baseball team is so stupid and infuriating.

It’s crazy how much better literally every other team is defensively than the Phillies

Is there a single player on the Phils who isn’t a dummy

Have you scored a run since Sunday?

Phillies horrendously bad

You gotta be kidding me

This type of guy is half of Bluesky and old twitter

Phillies bad

Okay why not let’s get excited for an Amazon James Bond

Zack Wheeler having a rough couple starts but this doesn’t help.

Phillies doing that really annoying thing where the entire team forgets how to hit at the same time

Blind Alley No. 1

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

When is someone going to announce they’re primarying him? This guy sucks on levels unheard of. You’re going to get so much money to oust him

We got to bring shame back.

Remember Wii sports being basically intuitive but apparently it is not for a four year old

Over at Slate, I wrote about the Nintendo Switch 2 as the end of the console cycle the company began with the NES slate.com/culture/2025...

I've been saying for years that Nintendo is the only company still making game consoles, and Sony and Microsoft want to do something else. I don't know if the Switch 2 is The Last Game Console. Maybe there’s only room for one, and Nintendo is that one. But the game industry as we knew it is dead.

This sounds fun!

NEW HIRAYASUMI JUST DROPPED IN MY LIBBY APP

Wrote a little bit about Spider-Man and Wolverine #2 and Kaare Andrews’ wonderfully funky art this week. Meanwhile for the main feature @extremelyuncanny.com continues to bravely cover the X-men endless series of events. www.comicsbeat.com/marvel-rundo...

something I kind of suspect is that Elon Musk pushed the Twitter algo to promote extreme views about Israel into people's feeds and so the many reporters who are still addicted to the site wound up grossly overestimating the salience this foreign policy issue had in fucking municipal elections.

Would like to be paid for writing again

genuinely think that our elite and hyperrich will never regain their sanity until they lose twitter and have to get all their news filtered through executive assistants again

Meta is a racist platform

So, these people are white supremacists of a very specific, American kind. The idea that the right to govern belongs only to a select, racially defined group was *the* political theory of the antebellum and redeemed south. Ask who is being replaced and why that’s a problem, you’ll see it.

Chapter #2 is up! If you want to hear more about it, check out episode 24 of Best Issue Ever where Alex and I talk about The Forgotten Five, why we felt it was important to release online, and some of the comics that inspired us to make it.

Ok but these kinda slap
