I'm moving my comics tweeting (skeeting?) over here to Bsky, with Cyclops and a giant octopus, I guess. This thread will be #5501-5600 of the Complete Marvel Reading Order (cmro.travis-starnes.com). I did the first 5500 (!) comics over on Twitter.
Anyway, Cyclops! Giant Octopus! Let's begin.

Okay, starting my thread of comics threads. You can find the older threads (for now) on X/Twitter.
First thread: 5501-5594 is here, with Scott Summers fighting a giant octopus. bsky.app/profile/john...

If the Nuzzi blast radius doesn't impact both the new editor of VF and the NYT profiler, then something wrong. Holy shit.

We're getting to the point where we're past "Vanity Fair needs to fire Nuzzi" and rapidly arriving at "Conde Nast needs to fire Mark Guiducci"
The new Vanity Fair editor sought to make his magazine less woke and some of his first moves were hiring Olivia Nuzzi, publishing an abstract nude of Nuzzi by a person now alleged to have made illegal recordings on her behalf, and putting only men in the Hollywood issue

Everyone's all worked up about the "Nuzzi sending artist who would later paint her nude to bug Trump campaign with possibly (but probably not) explosive discoveries" part, but just the opening stuff about burying negative stories about RFK should ensure Nuzzi never works in journalism again.

I am too stupid to understand... Any of these, I think?

So many great openers, I want to talk about album closers. My #1 for this has always been "Moonlight Mile" on Sticky Fingers. (All four of those great late 60s/early 70s Stones albums have great closers, though)

Catholic school teachers just got a cool new default comment for student work done with ChatGPT.
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

This list is largely correct. A few quibbles, but man knows what he's talking about
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

Many Who Die Deserve Life. Can You Give It to Them, Charlie Brown?
Okay. Yes. We’re bored now. We’re all bored. But has it ever occurred to you, Charlie Brown, that the process which creates this boredom that we see in the world now may very well be a self-perpetuating unconscious form of brainwashing created by a world totalitarian government based on money?

I feel like if you're the foreign minister, and you tell a bunch of legislators something on the record, and then you're told you completely misstated the government's position, you should resign

Wow seems like Dane probably has a lot of internalized self loathing and guilt from that experience; something which would lead him to self destructive tendencies, to inflict on himself horrors even worse than those he has perpetuated on others (picture unrelated)

This is interesting. Honestly looks like a much worse position than Trump was in after the Zelensky White House visit to try to impose this deal on Ukraine.

Not many people know - the Tragedy, just tragic, of Darth Plagueis the Wise. The woke Jedi won't tell you this, they don't want you to - it's a Sith thing. Dark Plagueis was a tremendously strong, powerful Sith, so strong people say he could use the Force to not let people die.
