The Lizza-Nuzzi nonsense is another very good case against 'American Journalism'.
No need to ever voice 'Burn this shit down bruh'.
Just having anyone read it will get them to *feel* that sentiment in their bones.

Atsushi Kaneko echoing an ethos I wish was more common in comics.
Active erasure of influence in order to try and challenge oneself to cook up something fresh rather than just leaning all the way into one's lineage and dubbing it 'homage' and 'tribute".

Is it a “purity test” to ask someone not to cross a picket line?

Thinking about the Tariff panic period wherein loads of Western publishing people were crying about how if they can't exploit the cheap outsourced foreign labor in Asia via their superior Dollars/Pounds/Euros, their entire creative industries would be cooked and unfeasible.

Find of the day, possibly of the century: HEEL'S TEXT, a 1992 manga from Toru Shinohara (creator of Female Prisoner Scorpion and Zero Woman), co-written by joshi wrestler Mayumi Ozaki. Three volumes of wrestling women suplexing people into the goddamn concrete.
