We lost comic artist Sal Buscema over the weekend, and despite him being a mightily accomplished 89 at the time of his passing -- he would have turned 90 today -- I'm crushed that we lost him. However, I love that his decades of great work fills my bookshelves and spinner rack, and it always will.

for me it was the fact that the author is one of the main driving forces behind the global movement to kill my trans friends and erase their existence

Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

one of the reasons everybody hates late arrivals from the right or even the center is they're all weepy little idiots who want to be coddled and forgiven and make it everybody else's problem. shut up, figure out how to help fix what you broke, and stop writing thinkpieces

As a gun owner and someone who routinely carries, this is accurate. Bottom line is, they didn't even know he was armed until they tackled him, he didn't touch the gun, they then disarmed him and murdered him.

Labour: a centrist party trying to appeal to the right that magically becomes left-wing at election time

Tories: a right-wing party that would’ve solved everything if only it wasn’t in government at the time

Not now Leviathan the world eating serpent
a not insignificant number of people on Threads seem to believe the snow storm was The Government's attempt to refreeze the Leviathan, the world-eating serpent, which was getting loose (to eat the world, I assume)

Lawyer for the Trump admin, in federal court, deploying the "I haven't seen that post" line when confronted with Trump's lawless statements.
Judge Menendez asks about Trump's quote: "Your day of retribution is here." She asks what she's supposed to do with that.

Mayers says he hasn't seen that Truth Social post.

There is a difference between people who see the goal as electing Democratic politicians and people who see the goal as trying to stop the violence against our neighbors and friends.

There is, we hope, significant overlap between the two goals.

I need people who were wrong about everything to actually look back and recognize that there was a reason they were wrong and maybe they need to update their understanding of the world.

Otherwise they don't really think they were wrong.

You! You should go buy this very good comic. You should buy this variant because I did the cover work (and I'm obviously great), BUT ALSO: it's a bloody good story.
All my UK friends should go to their local comic shop and buy @scarygorgon.bsky.social's DEATH TO PACHUCO #4 cover! forbiddenplanet.com/476120-death...
