Absolute Wonder Woman Vol. 1 is so much fucking fun. A complete recontextualization of the character that still feels 100% accurate to what I love about her. Stunning on every level.
Give me an opinion on a DC comic you read recently
You've got a big pile of people who appreciate you here and want to see a swift recovery. Know that if you ever make one of those "I need memes" or "I need dog pics" threads we'll be all over it.

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

As the latest fuckery with KDP and their generative AI goes around, reminder that they started this back in April with their series Recaps feature that cannot be opted out of and that few people cared about. I spent weeks back and forth with support, chronicled on Bsky and my site. (brief thread 👇)

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.
Praying for his full & speedy recovery.
And so deeply inspired by his example.

it’s instructive what sort of speech the bbc finds problematic and what sort of speech it finds absolutely fine. note, e.g., the complete lack of interest in alan sugar’s blatant racism.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

the commodification of charlie kirk’s death was so vulgar and hamfisted by the establishment and kirk’s own wife that it led his base to decide that it was the jews that did it.
yeah that sounds about par course for 2025.

BTW that Erika Kirk interview was a huge success for CBS News, it went viral, just, uh, not for the reasons that Bari wanted

And no, that's not splitting hairs. When you're called for jury duty - and if you live in the United States, it's a near certainty you will be at some point - if you walk in with the idea that the defendant might be innocent, you're already falling for copaganda.

25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Helping a Palestinian farmer always seems like a good way to help keep indigenous control of Palestinian land.
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohsen. Mohsen was a farmer prior to this. The occupation bulldozed his farm and took his home he is now living in a tent with his 75 year old mother who has cancer and his four small kids Ayham, 6, Mohammed, 5, Areej, 4 and Malak, 2.
