I’m nobody. 200 years from now my name will be forgotten and buried. But they’ll still call him a traitor and fascist.

If the president thinks it’s β€œseditious” to remind soldiers they are not required to follow illegal orders … then he’s probably giving them illegal orders.

When Donald Trump says Epstein hung around with democrats in the 90s β€” remember that Donald Trump was a democrat in the 90s.

Clark had to learn that he’s not a God, and even Superman can’t save everyone.

He’s not rooted in tragedy like Batman or Spider-Man - but the just as the death of Bruce’s parents taught him vengeance, and the death of Uncle Ben taught Peter Parker about responsibility, the death of Pa Kent teaches Clark about humility.

In some Superman comics Pa dies, and some he doesn’t. I would argue it’s important to his heroes journey that Pa dies.

Trump might end up being the second US president to be impeached because Bill Clinton got a blowjob.

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown.
There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.

Everyone wanted the shutdown to end, but this isn’t the way. Caving to Republicans also has a cost. Democrats were finally in position to force Rs to back down on ACA subsidies and they just fumbled the ball. @johnfetterman.com go tell your cowardly cohorts we will primary all of you out of office!!

On the plus side, Mike Johnson just lost his excuse to keep the House closed. He will have to swear in the rep from AZ and they will force a vote on Epstein. So buckle up, Rs - you asked for this!

After the tremendous week Ds just had, they are in a much stronger position than ever. Most of US knows the shutdown is Rs fault. Ds were in a strong position to force Rs to pass the bill with subsidies to end the shutdown. But a few of them caved. Again. They are letting Rs steal health care away.

After the outstanding week Democrats just had, they are in a stronger position than ever!

If any cowardly D, like @johnfetterman.com, breaks rank now and votes to allow Rs to strip away health care, we should run every one of them out of office! Don’t show weakness by caving to Republicans!

Them: Batman has prep time.

Me: Give anyone prep time and they could beat anyone. Even me vs. Mike Tyson.

Them: Without his powers, what would Superman be?

Me: Batman.

Them: Superman’s too overpowered. He can never lose.

Me: Could he beat Batman?

Them: No! Batman’s too smart. Always wins.

Me: Wait… so you hate that about Superman but love it about Batman?

Them: Superman can be killed by a rock. Ha!

Me: Batman can be killed by a bullet.

Them: No! Batman’s too smart, he’d never get hit.

Me: Superman handles kryptonite the same way. Takes a hit, bounces back.

I’ll bet it would be cheaper for me to hire and pay someone whose only job is to randomly change my eBay password to keep me from buying comics.

I have lots of amazing ideas for stories, but they’re all trapped inside my head. Like they’re locked behind glass so I can’t touch. Occasionally I like to go visit them - like seeing animals at the zoo.

But someday I’m going to break them all free, and let the wild things consume me.

Two comfort shows I binge all the time, and keep them on in the background, are Friends and Big Bang Theory on HBO MAX. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen them all.

But I always skip BBT S9 E9 because Elon Musk is in it.

Fuck Elon!

Superman may not have reached $1B this year, but all films struggled in 2025 and it was still one of the top films of the year and a huge critical success. Anyone who calls it a β€œflop” reveals themselves to be a Snyder troll who just wanted it to fail.

Every photo of Kash Patel looks like he’s just as shocked and horrified as we are that he wound up with this job.

Town halls should be run by neutral hosts with scientifically selected audience of voters, pre-polled on key issues. Politicians would face real data and a crowd that truly reflects their district.

Comic book hot take: Injustice is a fun fighting game, but the story is trash, and that - plus Man of Steel - ruined Superman for an entire generation.
