I do! Which is why I was so disappointed with his HB run!

It's genuinely the worst run of the whole series.

Azzarello may have dropped the N-word 12 times during his run (I counted), but at least he had a direction.

The Milligan run is just flailing, start to finish.

I agree on Diggle, but for the rest... we have different opinions, that's allowed.

I read the entire Constantine corpus last year and the Jenkins run is mediocre-to-poor with occasional highlights.

So it’s far better than Azzarello or Milligan. Not a patch on Delano, Ennis or Carey.

"this website is free" perhaps, but it exacts a terrible price

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Embrace your heritage. Swear more and talk about the AFL.

Conservatives romanticize the Confederacy because no matter how much time passes, the Confederacy will never be 18 years old.

I get it, you hate superhero comics and you don’t read them, but you love 90s SNL level observations

Time To Kill by Gila RPGs You've got time to kill, before it's time to kill.

Today's solo RPG is Time to Kill, in which a hitman plans and reminisces while waiting for a target. It's okay - solid prompts and a card tableau that shapes their interpretation a little - but there's nothing exceptional about it. A decent outing for journaling fans.

I’ll just miss the window, but I start volunteering for the local trans support org on the 15th.

Oh and I gave plasma again.

spam killed email, landlines and then answering phones all together, because marketing will masquerade as every form of human interaction it can up to and even past their destruction

and now they've built machines to spam culture

Dude if the Democratic Party has a place for anti-trans and anti-abortion candidates then I’m not a democrat and I won’t vote for one

I don’t know what to tell you man, there’s already a political party who believes these things

It’s not a β€œbig tent” to have zero fixed values in pursuit of power

Nostalgia that boils down to "I preferred the world when I was a child with no responsibilities and a limited understanding of the world" is bad enough. The slop on top takes it to another level. It's anti-life.

that is *exactly* what they are, and it's why those terms emerged and got such traction among the ruling elites who saw their 90s "intolerance is for chuds" paradigm of bourgeois propriety supplanted by the 00s "you don't just 'tolerate' ffs, you *respect*" paradigm and resented the loss of control

"[T]here's no real difference between an acetaminophen scaremonger like RFK Jr. and an anti-trans obsessive like J.K. Rowling ... [B]oth spread lies as easily as they breathe, it's just that certain segments of society feel a bit icky about the idea of trans people and so are more likely to listen."

Exclusion Zone Botanist - A Solo Drawing Game by Exeunt Press A solo botanical sketching hex crawl game.

Today's solo game is Exclusion Zone Botanist, in which you explore a spooky zone and draw fucked-up plants. It's fun - drawing plants is quietly enjoyable and the tables of bad things are very evocative. It maybe needs a little more drama - that aside, it's good.
