Whenever I see a big company release a new "Secure" browser I always think, secure from everyone but you, I take it!

The Democratic Party will have to give way to a Progressive or Liberal Party because like the Republican Party it has lost its connection to the actual people it is meant to represent.

Politicians have forgotten that they aren't there to rule us, but to represent us all.

Absolute Wonder Woman is setting Diana up for a rude awakening when, perhaps, she realizes that her whole universe has been corrupted and that the things she knows and the right and wrong she holds to may not be quite what she thinks they are.

I hope these Absolute books continue for a long time!

The DC Universe must be relatively small if a single organization like the Green Lantern Corps can police all of it. But also, how do the Guardians believe they have the right to impose their laws on all of it. I think it would be best if writers in comics defined what they mean by universe.

I hope we get to see Green Lantern Dark again because I really enjoyed this book! I really love the idea that the green light is actually connected to the will to live. That it isnโ€™t just will by itself but all of life seeking to continue for yet another day.

There have to be some cities in the TWD universe that survived. Cities with advantageous geography and a population not so dense as to make it impossible.

Iโ€™d love to explore that possibility.

It wonโ€™t happen because our system is so broken, but if Trump intimidates and manipulates to screw with the elections he should be arrested and put on trial. Fuck the immunity bullshit, screwing with elections is not an official duty.

Blessed be the ones who suffer
Blessed be the ones in need
Blessed be the ones who hunger
And by many names have called to thee

O Demeter, divine goddess of the corn
Mother of the Springtime
Bless them with your gifts
That they may suffer no more

O Demeter [โ€ฆ]

I find that my attention span has become quite short. I need to do more long form reading for longer periods of time. Watch long form content. Sit and focus on one thing more. I donโ€™t like this trend in myself. #attentionspan

We have only seen one movie, one cartoon, and one live action series in the DCU. People claiming it is already off the rails seem to have seen a lot of imaginary content. It canโ€™t be off the rails if the train hasnโ€™t left the station.

Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo using Mamdaniโ€™s religion against him is just another reason why New Yorkers should tell them both to fuck off.

Cuomo, a harasser of women and Adamโ€™s a crooked criminal talking about someoneโ€™s religion seems laughable if it werenโ€™t actually happening!

Iโ€™ve never been a fan of Doctor Who. I canโ€™t explain what it is about it I dislike, but I just canโ€™t get into it.

Why are the Snyderbros so obsessed with Henry Cavill. I mean, I k ow why I like him, heโ€™s hot, but is the fandom just expressing some latent homosexual tendencies?

Expecting continuity over 8 decades is stupid. I like to think of comics in eras and only think of the continuity in those eras as relevant.

I mean, Superman Batman and Wonder Woman would be nearing their 90s if it was all continuity. Thatโ€™s why I always loved the DC multiverse.

I lived that series, but his faces need work.

I love James Gunn, but I have to be honest. I am failing to understand what the plan is with the DCU. Good show ended after two seasons, strange choices for movies, and no concrete road map. I get that it doesnโ€™t all have to fit together like a puzzle, but I get the impression itโ€™s all unplanned.

Please, DC, donโ€™t let this New Gods book fade away. If the team needs a break, good, but bring them back. This is the best DC has been in a long time. This and the Absolute Universe. You need to take more chances like these. Refreshing storytelling!

This is a limited series, no? Iโ€™ll be sad when it ends?

DC had Black Lightning on TV. But the DV universe has amazing black characters that I would love to see in live action. Vixen, Static, Icon, etc.

We need a Clive Barker based series. Something that uses all of the myths from his books. Worlds in carpets, fallen angels trapped in the center of a world existing under a modern city, Cenobites, etc. Absolute Horror.

We need this.
