I only got one retweet for these kids. Perhaps I should have made an inflammatory click bait rage post instead of suggesting an actual positive action one could take. Sad.

Makes sense. It's not really a mind.

I sometime wish the comics biz was more, well, businesslike. And then I picture editors being pressured to consult a Sabermetrics freelancer database with sales numbers, creativity rankings, on-time percentages, and Stan-to-Jack ratios and suddenly I’m glad we’re on a different path.

I would sincerely love it if Ritchson runs on a "I will beat Matt Gaetz (to death, with my fists)" platform.

President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump have decided that you don't deserve to feel safe when you fly.

OK, this is important, comics folk & fans. CARE ABOUT THIS! The Trump Junta is banning books from libraries on military bases. His goons are purging shelves of any books that push “radical indoctrination” of kids. What IS that? Whatever they say it is. All of MAGAland will then ban these books.

This is why Comic Book Yeti is the best. Lots of comics people say they support community and different voices, but Yeti actually listens and puts their neck on the line to do what's right. Let's all support them if we can since they ditched Substack

Just to underscore the tension at DOJ at the moment, here's what one federal law enforcement official told me about the acting deputy attorney general: "I, along with other career FBI and DOJ personnel that I’ve spoken with, really have one message for him and that is, “go fuck yourself, traitor.'"

Republicans don’t “want children to die.” They want WEAK children to die. It doesn’t matter how passively or directly they’re saying it, from Joe Rogan to RFK to Elon Musk. It’s eugenics. They hate the sick, and the disabled, and the vulnerable. And their “cost-efficient” solution is the final one.

Renée Fleming, Shonda Rhimes, and Ben Folds have resigned from their positions at the The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. A center for the performing arts doesn’t actually need performing artISTS, right?

I hear Susan Collins might consider maybe becoming concerned about the rule of law. Our elected representatives decided, for more than 7 years, ever since the quashing of the Meuller report, that we didn't dare pick fights with Republicans in court. This was the inevitable result.
