The Sabres look like a hockey team in this period. No one jinx it!

Trying to imagine him proclaiming that all the NFL teams in Blue states have to move to Red States as punishment for not bending the knee.

No one should risk coming to These States of America while this regime remains in power. No game is worth the risk of being rounded up by ICE’s bounty hunters & ferried off to a concentration camp.

That said, this is some ridiculous gangster shit.

Trump: "Somebody said, 'would we think about taking the World Cup away from Boston if they don't straighten it out?' The answer is yes. We have the right to do that with FIFA. So if we think that LA is gonna be bad, or that applies a little bit to the Olympics too."

I’ll have to give it another shot.

I liked the first couple episodes but it fell out of my rotation. I’ll have to give it another chance someday.

Maybe less “lost nerve” and more “forced to redraw the last couple pages over a weekend.” But yeah, Cyke isn’t coming back after that.

So, China is buying soy beans from Argentina instead of America but we are giving Argentina billions of dollars? Also, Argentinians have free healthcare but Americans do not and our government is now shut down because it doesn’t have enough money to give Americans even a discount on healthcare?

They’re fully captured by the donors. Or, like the “Speaker Emerita” to the stock trading.

The guy AOC beat in her first primary should have a role with the DNC guiding the transition. He lost and was classy about it and helped her a lot.

A million percent, yes. Dem leadership is bringing AARP cards to a gun fight.

The unity of messaging discipline is the only thing I admire about them. Wish the other side could adopt that (they seem to be learning with this shutdown).

Them: “But my taxes will go up!”

Me: “But no more copays or medical bankruptcy!”

Them: blinking.

Just in case I've not made it clear, I believe everybody on the planet should get free healthcare.

Yep, those people too.

Some folks aren't down with socialised medicine, and that's their opinion. This is mine.

Ask me about my stance on UBI....

The 3 books with “X-Men” in the title, Storm, DD, Moon Knight, Batman, ASM, Power Fantasy, Lazarus, and I’m about at my limit for new books.

This 100%. If there’s three X-Men titles plus a dozen side X-titles then not only am I not buying them all, I’m not buying other Marvel books I’d like to read.

Is Ryan North’s FF good? I don’t know because my budget is being eaten by this glut.

Holy shit. Especially as a counterpoint to their moment on the mesa in Arizona. I can’t believe this never occurred to me. Maybe too dark for a creative team who editorial forced to kill Jean but narratively this works so well. Fuck.

Stephen S Power @stephenspower.bsky.social · 1d

The ending of Dark Phoenix was utterly botched. Jean should have taken off Cyclop's goggles and obliterated herself.

The Jim Lee costumes are their worst looks.

X-Men Don't Need Britches 💙💛 @rphutch1975.bsky.social · 2d

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷
