Kilowog-core

In two comic book panels Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman, is talking to Batman, a.k.a. Bruce Wayne. Batman is angrily shouting back. A caption reads, "Meanwhile, on every new program..." Selina Kyle says, "Thank you, professor, that was a stirring commentary on the history of socialism, with so much insight on our modern world! I certainly am grateful for my union! Now, in the interest of balance, it's time to hear the opposite view from some trust fund techbro who plays golf with our CEO. He is masked because he fears identification, lest, and I quote, the pronouns cancel me. What is your view on leftism?" Batman shouts, "Communism is when government does stuff!" A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-core Edit".

If yer still ranting about bein' cancelled by the pronouns in the year of our Grodd 2026, you've got problems.

A series of comic book panels, all saturated in red light. Two old, skinny hands lift a phial of some sort. The one lifting shouts, "Acolytes! Enter!" A number of white and red-robed acolytes walk down a corridor toward him. He stands in silhouette before him, the phial raised in one hand and says, "Tonight-- you will all shed your former identities and give yourselves to the coven of the blood of Trigon!" He then raises a curved sacrificial knife emblazoned with a pentagram, showing his old, bearded, long-haired face with gaudy golden ornaments on his robes. He shouts, "The blood of Trigon!" Off-panel someone says, "Kyle you are taking this LARP way too seriously." A second person says, "Yeah man, it's freaking us out!" A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-core Edit".

You ever LARP? I have. What's yer zaniest LARP story?

A comic book panel from the Star Wars universe. Han Solo, looking distressed, is talking to Princess Leia, whose back is to the viewer. Han says, "Why aren't you taking this seriously? Whatever the Rebellion's dire straits, we've got to have necessities or else we won't survive to fight the Empire!" Princess Leia responds, "Han, I don't care how bad your munchies are, Cheetos are not a necessity!" A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-core edit."

This is the real reason they broke up before the sequels!

In a series of comic book panels Kilowog, dressed in a white shirt and red overalls, has opened up the chest of his robot friend L-Ron and is tinkering about in his circuits. L-Ron says, "at least there's one good thing about fascists gaining more and more power." Kilowog replies, "A boomin' tiki torch 'n firearms industry?" L-Ron says, "No, oppression causes revolution!" Kilowog says, "Sorry poozer, that ain't so. What we want are liberals." L-Ron protests, "Liberals? But they've never been allies of revolution!" Kilowog says, "True, but there's benefits." L-Ron questions, "Benefits? What benefits?" Kilowog says, "It's easier ta' organize when ya' still got rights. Like the right ta' assemble! I know it's hard, but liberals spark more revolution." A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-core Edit".

It's frustratin', an' they certainly won't help us, but historically more liberal reforms often precede revolutions.

A comic book panel of Big Barda, drawn in a simplistic cartoon style, holding a glass in one hand and a small white bunny by the ears in the other. The bunny looks adorable and gasps "Hrrrk!". Barda scowls, her cheeks slightly flushed. A caption reads "Organize locally or the bunny gets it!" A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-core Edit".

Think a' the bunnies! Organize today!

Mental illness is a disability, you weirdo. I'm not surprised you're against taking responsibility for your own actions, though.

Whether you control it or not, people got hurt. What we're looking for is empathy toward others. Especially when those others were hurt and humiliated in stereotypically bigoted ways in a public setting.

Yes. I do demand responsibility. Just as I demand it of myself.

A comic book panel from the Star Wars universe. Luke Skywalker, hunched over a toolbox, is talking to Han Solo, who is crouching under the Millenium Falcon and repairing it with a long tool. Luke says, "Han, I'm just saying, I could use the Force to look inside the Falcon's bulkhead and maybe find the mechanical fault that's grounding us!" Han says, "No magical nonsense touches my ship! Just her pilot, absolutely flying on ryll spice!" A watermark reads "A Kilowog-core edit."

The only magic I need is in these here mushrooms!

What's the only magic you need, poozers?

A large, wide comic book panel showing a group of superheroes standing in a cavernous, crystalline hall in the Fortress of Solitude. The characters are grouped on elevated platforms, facing each other. Nightwing addresses the crowd and says, "Oh wow, is it finally my turn to do the big speech? I'm as nervous as a woman being written by Jeremy Adams!" Boom, a teenage girl with short brown hair and a T-shirt with the golden age Flash lightning bolt on it, says, "Hah hah! I laugh so I don't cry!" Nightwing continues with, "Yeah, sorry about that boom! Anyhoo, all I want to say is you're all heroes, willing to make the ultimate sacrifice! And it's a major crossover so that's likely. But it's not gonna be me! I survived Dan Didio, there's no way I'm going to let Mark Waid bump me off! No sirree! My money's on Atom Smasher." Atom Smasher, a giant of a man, stands in the back of the crowd with his arms crossed. At the very top, a QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-Core Edit."

Spoiler: It wuz not Atom Smasher.

Two comic book panels. In the first, a maniacally grinning Starfire, holding up a blue baby's onsie, moves next to Raven who is eating a sandwich with a sour expression. Starfire says, "Raven, look! This was on the infant I devoured!" Raven says, "That's nice Kory..." In the second panel Raven, with a tired expression, is moving away while Starfire leans toward her. Raven says, "Wait, you ate a baby?" Starfire says, "I am alien! A horror beyond your wildest nightmares!" Raven says, "Right. Imma go now." Starfire replies, "Okay tasty friend!" A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-core Edit".

Ya' ever wonder what'd be like if DC aliens were alien? What're some traits beloved alien heroes might have if they were truly alien?

Two comic book panels are captioned "Meanwhile at the RNC..." A leather-gloved hand rolls an aluminum soda can under a jail cell that is labeled JD Vance's (Censored). The final panel shows what appears to be a cowboy with a strip goatee and a leather mask, grinning a creepy open-mouthed grin and asking, "Thirsty?" A QR code is captioned "A Kilowog-core Edit".

Remember at the 2024 RNC when Republicans were walking around with vials labeled as JD Vance's c*m?

The context a' this is that Republicans are f**kin' weird perverts who support PDF files.

A close-up of a Star Wars comic book panel showing Han Solo in a blue jacket. He is pointing forward with his left index finger, looking serious. He says, "Never trust space wizards or anyone who buys legal moonshine. If you buy moonshine in a store, I'm gonna sell you a whole eighth of space oregano." The background is sky blue with black splotches. A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-Core Edit."

Moonshine legally sold in liquor stores is like a bootlegger who snitches ta the cops! This is a hill I'm willin' ta... well... argue strenuously on!

Stay safe. Stay together. Love yourself and love each other.
8/8

Go out, find your local organization, and organize. Create the community that will protect you.

We will not abandon or compromise our goals and ideals because of this. Nor will we stop attacking the nazis on every front, Iran, the Epstein Files, ICE, tariffs, everything. Full court press.
7/8

If you are a soldier, disobey your orders. They are illegal and you have an obligation to disobey. This is not a legal war. If you work for the government, remember that no one will catch you if you disguise noncompliance as incompetence. Just make mistakes.

Everyone organize.
6/8

This was always going to be a consequence of giving the nazis the government. We still need to organize locally. We still need to insist on leftist ideals. We still need to insist on the rights, dignity, and justice for all people, and oppose this nazi regime.
5/8

The Iraq War proved to all of us that wars like this are BS. The troll farms will be working overtime to flood social media with lies and mindless jingoism, but the US people are more cynical now.

Our mission has not changed. Our methods have not changed.
4/8

They will insist that all opposition needs to stop and the US needs to come together for the war. And Democrats will support them, unless they've grown a spine since 2003. I think the opposite is true.

The US people know this is a crock.
3/8

The US government will lie. The UK government will lie. All of our allies will lie. They will claim Iran has WMDs, or that they were planning a massive strike against Israel, or some other hooey, and that bullshit will change from day to day.
2/8

Kilomin here. I'm hoping as I write this ideas will come, because as I begin, I don't know what to say.

Memes will continue. I've got enough of a backlog that the depression spiral hitting because of the news today won't affect that.

Beyond that, just remember the lessons of the past.

A four-panel comic book meme. On the top left, Lex Luthor with red stubble in a gray jacket is sitting in a chair, talking to his daughter Lena, Lois Lane in a combat suit, Jimmy Olsen, and a character with short white hair. Lex says, "I'm just saying, it's about ethics! You're both intolerant, you're both angry! Think about it!" On the right, Lex smiles knowingly and says, "Antifa are just as bad as Nazis!" The middle panel shows Lena, Lois, Jimmy, and the white-haired man staring in blank shock with three ellipses floating above their heads. The bottom panel shows the same characters, with Jimmy saying, "Righttttttt. Anyway." A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-core Edit".

C'mon, we all knew Lex'd turn evil again! What're other evil signs Amnesia!Lex probably said or did?

A comic book panel of a forested island with a blue, lightly clouded sky. A Robin, a.k.a. Damian Wayne, is in a red inset panel shouting, "Bane!" In the main panel he is riding a large, green, feathered dinosaur. He's holding the dinosaur's reins and a katana, and he has a triumphant expression. Robin says, "This is the most awesome I have ever been!" The dinosaur's wide, toothy maw is open and attacking bane, who has bandages around his left arm, both legs and knees, and his stomach. Bane desperately attempts to hold the jaws open with his muscular arms. The dinosaur is roaring, and a sound effect "RRREEEEEE" is visible. A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-Core Edit."

What's the most awesome thing you've ever done?

Four comic book panels. A brightly colored cat is outside a window mewing. A man lets her in and says, "Oh my! Look who it is! It's the kitty of true wisdom!" He takes a rolled-up note from her collar and says, "What wisdom do you bear?" The note reads, "We cannot vote our way to a better world. Organize today!" A QR code is captioned "A Kilowog-core Edit".

That includes third party an' not votin' at all. Votin's fer buyin' time an' reducin' potential harm, not fixin' things. Organizin's fer fixin' things! So get organizin'!

In a comic book panel Batman, drawn in the iconic Kelley Jones style, is talking to a possessed woman. Batman says, "Do my ears look weird? Like too pointy?" She says, "No, your ears are fine. Anyway, as I was saying--" Batman says, "Wait, who drew this? It was Kelley Jones, right?" The woman says, "Sigh. Yes, and you are pointy." A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-core Edit".

This is not an insult! I love Kelly Jones's Batman, and I think the stylized, pointy style fits Bats very well!

A pop-art-style comic book panel with a stippled background. At the top, a banner reads, "Never let anyone tell you you're too old for cartoons." Below, a simplified cartoon version of Big Barda, a heroine with blue eyes and long black hair is shown from the chest up, with her teeth bared in an angry snarl. She says, "Sin! Nothing is more violent than a cartoon!" Batgirl, a.k.a. Cassandra Cain, drawn as a tiny black bat-like creature with white eyes, is next to her. Batgirl says, "Do you watch cartoons?" Barda replies, "Did you hear what I said?! They're filled with incalculable violence. Of course I watch cartoons!" At the bottom, a QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog Core Edit."

Animation 'n comic books are a medium, not a genre, poozers. Within' that medium there's a lotta variety.

Never be ashamed a' lovin' what ya' love. What cartoons do ya' love?

A five-panel comic book meme. The first panel shows a close-up of a man grabbing his cheeks with his hands, as he says, "You may think..." The second panel has him pulling off his face to reveal white skin and green hair, as he says, "I'm Todd..." The third panel shows the man fully transformed into the Joker, with a manic grin and makeup. He is looking at the camera and yelling, "But it was me! Joker!!" In the fourth panel, the Joker grabs his cheeks and begins to pull, revealing pink skin and blond hair. He says, "Except really..." The final panel shows Dio from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure with his signature manic smile. He is yelling, "It was me!! Dio!!!" A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-Core Edit."

Let's see who it really is! OLD MAN JENKINS??

A meme featuring a comic book panel and a caption. The caption has a wavy, colorful background with blue, green, and pink splotches. The text "My brain every time I make a joke" is scrawled across it. The bottom panel is a close-up of a comic book scene. Punchline, a villainess with a ponytail and pink clown blush on her cheeks is leaning conspiratorially toward a robotic-looking figure. She has an apathetic expression on her face. The robotic figure says, "You won't get away with this Punchline!" A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog Core Edit."

A comic book panel with a psychedelic, green and pink background. At the top, in a bold, wavy font, it reads "Jinny Hex says..." Below this, in quotation marks, is the text "Sometimes you have to pick the gun up to put the gun down." Underneath this, in parentheses, it clarifies "(Actually said by Malcolm X)." The image shows a stylized character, Jinny Hex, with long blonde hair, a red Stetson hat, and a green shirt and jacket. She's wearing fingerless gloves and holding two large, futuristic-looking guns, pointing them forward. She has a wide, mischievous grin and a speech bubble next to her that says "heh."

In comic book panels set within a nightmare world, Janet from HR, associate of Poison Ivy, pulls herself through a small hole in the side of a suburban house which begins to seal around her. She says, "Sometimes it seems like you're stuck and can't move forward." She's pulled back into the hole and says, "Sometimes it even feels like you're being pulled backwards by oppressive systems in the world." She claws her way forward again and says, "But there are countless rebellions happening all the time all over, and the only constant is change." Finally she escapes onto the muddy grass outside and says, "So keep fighting! Because you don't know how close you are to the exit! It might be right in front of you!" A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-core Edit".

Hang in there poozers, remember that survival is a revolutionary act!
