Are you on a cellular phone? I don't know you! Prank caller!

Does Metropolis have a Trump Tower, or is it all about Lex Luthor?

The DJ at the Portland ICE protest is playing “Party in the USA.” There are probably 250 people here, maybe the biggest nighttime crowd yet. So far, no tear gas or anything else deployed by cops—agents have remained behind their gate, which was wide open when I arrived and is now only cracked.

It also perplexes me that publishers push subscriptions & 'events,' BUT the system didn't work, the titles were all over, a miniseries where every issue has a different name so they can all be a #1, etc. - - AND *you* have to pay for the subscription system (that doesn't work!). Seemed lopsided.

There are too many titles. Stores can't make money trying to sell a title that 1 person buys. Companies don't print enough extra if it becomes popular. And contrarily, folks are told they can't miss anything. Make it easy.

Kids would read more American comics if they were encouraged to crumple, tear, throw them in backpacks and generally beat the hell out of them. Big advantage of manga and scholastic ogns is that they’re sturdy and no adult is telling you to delicately put them in a plastic sleeve in a cool dark box.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

This is playing at @hollywoodtheatre.org (here in Portland) Friday night at 6:30 in 35mm! Tempted to go.

Just for fun after a trip to the storage unit & a quick/easy eBay purchase of a missing 1, I cobbled together one full run of this miniseries :). @gailsimone.bsky.social @adrianamelo.bsky.social You can order that or 30-plus other reader bundles here: comic-cave-pdx.myshopify.com/products/pla...

BREAKING: Jury finds MyPillow founder Mike Lindell defamed former employee for a leading voting equipment company.

Rereading Life of Chuck (in IF IT BLEEDS, showcasing a Holly short story). I kinda want to analyze the acts & compare to the movie, I feel like 1st 2 are shorter in written form & 3 is more of the full-fledged @stephenking.bsky.social tale. Movie might treat them equally? I want to go see it again.

Bravo this sign.

Life of Chuck was so good, I guess a little ambling but trust me that there's a point to it all.

St. Johns Bridge would like a word with Politico for describing Burnside as the city's "most iconic" bridge.

Fellowship of the No Kings

My favorite protest sign today I think was: Worst Sequel Ever.

Actor Gary Oldman has been knighted by King Charles and is now officially Sir Gary Oldman. Via Deadline: https://bit.ly/4e2zVLn

Our parade was better than his parade.

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

This is a horrific assassination, and what I’m getting from this is that we should ban police because someone could dress up as one and kill women. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The cops dress like killers and the killers dress like cops

The DA quote "If you assault someone, if you burn things, if you decide to break things, you’re going to deal with me.” Highly doubt this group of hippies (cuz I'll be there) will be the rowdy ones. I would say be safe of overreacting cops or road ragers in cars. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Bay Area con in high school in the 80s. Star Trek was ever-present. Cons were at hotels & half was events, half "dealer room." I found CRISIS missing issues, then went to see Walter Koenig "Chekov" speak. They were in the hotel ballrooms & speakers had to walk through the crowd, not like today. 1/2

It's the weekend, baby

Also... ZIPPER RULE! 🤬

Portland drivers, I can't read your minds, if you're trying to merge over, gotta use that turn signal!!

Hey everyone! I am officially on the job hunt! In the long-term, I'm looking for a new steady editorial gig or something related. Currently, I'm open for freelance, both as an editor and a writer. If you need someone with a decade of experience, hit me up! [email protected]

(Checking to see if Greg Stillson is trending.)

PDX polite means that knowing Robert’s Rules and organizing to achieve political wins for your communities is being mean or something? Last I checked those tools are available to everyone, so it sounds like a skills issue to me! The old ways are dead. Passive aggressive emails don’t change that.

OK now tell Dan Ryan to stop grandstanding and framing everything police-related as "Defund" with a capital D.

Sharing for knowledge

Nice piece on David, who passed away last month after longtime illnesses (strokes, etc.). Wrote Hulk for a decade, & brought in new readers - to this day, & MCU, it's now psychological. Also, writers are invisible/let artists set the tone. Big fan of the Trek stuff too. RIP youtu.be/7AdjO_zQezA?...

Hey so you know that secret thing @tomking.bsky.social and I have been working on?… Just announced at the @annecyfestival.bsky.social in France… MISTER MIRACLE The Adult Animated Series coming from WB Animation!! ESCAPE GOD.

made a little comic last year but posting it today for fun

I was a bit nervous about how the politics of the “uncrease” were going to play out but it really looks like the p-cauc rolled the metro chamber and PPB on this one
