Going under the surgeon's knife today for my right eye. Hope I'll be okay for MCM this weekend. May have to cosplay as Nick Fury.

Which is why we only very rarely get any publisher pushback. Mostly it's publishers and creators requesting such. BC only posts specifically chosen and curated spoiler for those who want them, behind strong spoiler warnings and imagery.

Not surprising to see. I’ve been saying for a bit that #marvel needs to pay talent like Bendis to return. I’d like to have a more balanced pull list again.

Okay now there are ads for another politician described ass 100% MAGA, wrong for New Jersey. And I'm thinking, these attack ads would really, really work on some audiences as positive ads.

Rich Johnston @richjohnston.bsky.social · Sep 20

Using NordVPN, watching YouTube, I get all these political attack ads against someone called Mikie Sherrell, who I am starting to like more and more. Apparently, she is in favour of greener energy and not banning schools from saying some people are gay. And that's it.
