I've been listening to bringing it all back home, and it's incredible
I'm better at paying attention to lyrics, I think podcasts and audio books have trained me
Yeah but we got Bird Boy out of that. I can't judge zoomers hoovering up AO3 when I was reading that.
Im thinking about Professor X getting beaten up by college students
But CC did his best work with her editing. Those are the years of the kind of psychologically complex suburban domestic dramas that really distinguished that whole line. No Stevie Hunters on Krakoa.
Peter David's several iterations of X-Factor were the wisest adaptations of that mood.
Thats like John Romita Jr up to the Fall of the Mutants?
Context: I'm going to my first comics convention at the end of march in KC and Chris Claremont will be there and my inner eleven year old is SQUEALING
Okay, I am a bookish white menopausal hipster. I'm trying to accept my fate and get really into Dylan for a while.
The problem is I don't really listen to music for the lyrics.
okay okay got it.
I can see how Krakoa was a dead-end-- the respawning mechanic was a great metafictional stunt and narrative experiment, but probably unsustainable.
I miss Peter David's ability to do interesting things with the wreckage of "events".
I think the x-collapse was the fault of Marvel editorial, not Hickman. But I have weirdly conflicted feelings about the Krakoa era.

The virtue of democracy isn't that it can choose leaders, but that it can remove them.
Kick over the ladder generation, but "boomer" is a mindset not an age group. There are 20 year old boomers.
Automate the disciplinary surveillance of workers.
Roses are red
And I guess love is nice
But I’ll feel much better
When we get rid of ICE

I dunno but I'll take being 27 again
Macbeth: SHIT
To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

I guess Poe's Law is a two way street
Do thou, too, remain warm among ice.
Carlin called the US a torture state in the late 00s. His commercially pandering both-siderism is frustrating but he has some unwavering principles.
I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal
