Us Living in Fictional Cosmogonies was my attempt at a book which is both sociopolitical and art history deep dive *and* completely casual reading about fun familiar franchises, depending on how you want to approach it right now.

You should recommend it to people.

Eternal supporter of the embarrassing Captain America armor, because that's one of the hardest goes at internalized ableism we've seen in a superhero comic. Cap is humiliated to need a prosthesis and embarrassed that his friends are so worried about him they put airbags in it.

Terf awards suck. So, instead, accept my genuine, thought out, vetted and voted on Award For Doing Good.

You did good!

That thing you did? It's better than transphobes.

Have an award.

True story: If a love song isn't about one specific instance, it's actually about drugs.

S'funny, I don't like The Killing Joke but I do like both color jobs. The first makes it feel unreal. The desaturated naturalism of the second feels cold and cruel.

It’s infuriating enough that it’s a moral and electoral failure but what really makes it insufferable is that every time they run this play they pretend they’ve been spending the last few decades pandering to the left and this is the first time they’ve ever tried tacking right.

Among others, this line of comics, a braided narrative of multiple interrelated books, had Klaus Janson, Gray Morrow, Kevin O’Neill, Bill Sienkiewicz, John Ridgway, Mark Chiarello, Denys Cowan, Kent Williams, Stan Drake, Jim Lee & Kyle Baker. That is an insanely stacked deck.

Please help, if you can. It's a big expense, but it's a phone. Think about how well you could function without one in this day and age.

If you are having writer's block, creative block of any kind, or plain ol ennui, I think I might be able to fix you up. Gimme an hour. Link in comments.

Before we praise John Byrne too much for gay characters, let's remember Chris Claremont ruined Colleen Wing for him just by telling him that she's bisexual and likes orgasms.

Marion Stokes was a founder of the National Organization for Women, co-produced a local TV show on social justice in the 1960s, and archives thousands of hours of television primarily during decades when no one else was, but she's a Black woman who got old, so haha, she must have been crazy & naive.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

CEO's are this... it usually doesn't mean they will literally implode, most of the time it's just a figurative implosion... and they go to do the same elsewhere again and again... and people praise them

Reels just played me a Mike Rowe video where he implies students in Math or English class are snootier than students in Shop, and even if he wasn't a right wing Trumpite shill, he'd still be a pretend hard man whom Zoolander is based on.

A European Jew (who previously pretended to be Sinte Romani, as well as white English), as part of the bluff, Xorn was supposed to by Uyghur from Xinjiang.

The Justice of Justine is a visually beautiful series, a fun concept, and so full of ethnic stereotypes you'll knife your own eyes.

I almost miss the days when nerds felt that they had to use pedantry to smuggle in their bigotry. Now they just say the quiet part loud because there's zero consequence.

That's what makes the right, right: believing it's the inherent duty of the party to tell everyone what to watch, when to have sex, who to smite, and what how many display flags deep you have to be before the police shouldn't kill you. Liberal is when that, but implicit, not by signed decree.

I think some people responding to this are under the impression that the only way you could dislike Gavin Newsom is if you're MAGA.

He did a fawning podcast with charlie kirk, you dipshits. He's not your friend.

The man killed by MRI technicians is now the new woman horribly burned McDonald's coffee, because we are that trained to always side with a business over people they've wrecked.
