No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It’s not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there’ll be

Every time I see a commercial for the new Arby's "Meat and Three" deal, I think of that little goblin guy from The Goon (vol. 4) #14. I really hope they gave @eric-powell-comics.bsky.social money and didn't rip him off outright.

That's a nice pick up Bill! You know westerns aren't my 1st genre, but when @mediummic.bsky.social offered this for a fair price, I had to pick it up :)

"[Y]ou want folks who care about and want to defend SS at the table when legislators start working on the next set of amendments. And not folks drumming up fear of bankruptcy to push a privatization agenda."
This is a great thread that explains some SS stuff I've never heard before. Give it a read!

You may have heard that "social security is going to go bankrupt." Many younger people assume social security will not be there for them when they retire. In my latest paper I correct the record. SS is not going bankrupt but we'll need to revisit it soon 🧵

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

More than surreal, it's sick.
This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside!

“Can my one vote in 2026 really do all that?” I want to tell you emphatically: Yes, it can. Because your one vote joins with millions of others, and together we chart the course of this country.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

It's almost two in the morning, & I'm awake in order to keep the dog company after a very wet late-night walk. In the meantime, I've written a blogpost on the concept of secondary medievalism, using one of my favourite comics to make my case: my-albion.blogspot.com/2025/11/seco....

Can't go wrong with Nick Cardy on Bat Lash!
Cardy's classic comic covers are terrific.
Teen Titans, Superman, Aquaman, Bat Lash.
The Hall of Fame www.comic-con.org/awards/eisne... is kind of ignored but if any artist deserved his induction, Cardy did.
